My go to Laptop these days is the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 (either carbon or Yoga) very nicely built with a great keyboard, I hardly (if ever) heard the fan noise and except on a couple of models where the fingerprint driver isn't present, it works flawlessly ootb with Linux.

- vetinari 6y agoI'm still wondering what Lenovo were thinking when they came with Gen8 X1. They used Comet Lake instead of Ice Lake - that results in things like HDMI port supporting only 1.4 (i.e. no 4k@60 there). It makes their current non competitive with 2020 XPS13 or 2020 MBP13, that do come with Ice Lake.
