X1 Carbon for sure. The 5th gen is amazing and 6th gen is around the corner.
The XPS 13 is good and I applaud them for the developer edition but the build quality on dell laptops is grade A rubish compared to a ThinkPad.
- superquest 9y agoI just got a refurbished 5th generation and I love it. I get 10 hours batter life running Manjaro with TLP. This is the first computer I've ever had where I never carry the power cord around. Amazing feeling. The best thing about it is the keyboard. It's so much more enjoyable to type on this keyboard than other ultrabooks.
- lj3 9y agoYou're happy with the build quality? I have a w530 and, over a 2 year period, had several things on it physically break (headphones, bluetooth, wifi, lid latch). I vowed to never again buy lenovo. But, the 5th gen x1 just looks so nice. I might give it a try if Lenovo has fixed their build quality issues.
- superquest 9y agoBuild quality is good so far -- but I just got it. I have heard this complaint on message boards ... hope it doesn't bite me.
- bproven 9y agoGood to know on the X1 carbons. They look like good machines, maybe I can find a good refurb as a secondary box to try them out.
