This. Year and half ago I bought myself X1 Carbon gen3 (model from 2017) and it had amazing 2K screen, fingerprint reader, 4G modem (even GPS works after flashing firmware). All works on Linux and cost me just $600. I recently gave it to my sis as gift, but it looked just like new when I bought it and still looks the same.
Of course Lenovo ruined Thinkpad for me a little, but still their x220i that I bought 10 years ago still running even after being tortured constatly and dropped so many times. So yeah best laptops for the price.
- sva_ 5y agoI think 3rd gen is 2015.
- SXX 5y agoYeah you're right. It's has i7-5600U so it's 2015. Regardless I used this machine happily for webdev and light Java development. The only reason that I gifted it away is because M1 Macbook was simply way superior than anything I ever seen before. Otherwise I would still use that X1 for my daily needs.
