My high-end thinkpad X1 carbon died after 2 years... Not repairable, and they don't sell any motherboard that could allow me to repair it myself.
Also the CPU and RAM were soldered on it, which makes it even less repairable.
- antod 4y agoThe X1 is an ultrabook (or at least the continuation of ultrabooks) and not so repairable. The T series though sacrificed a little weight and thickness for more durability, expandability and servicability. The sacrifice was pretty small though - I thought it was worth it when choosing a work T490 over the X1 a few of years ago. The bonus was that for the same budget as standard Macbook Pros at work, I got 32GB RAM and the top i7 plus a thunderbolt dock.
- lannisterstark 4y agoYeah sadly that's what they've started doing with the X1 Carbon series. But T(xxx) series is still pretty solid. Not to mention older x(xxx) units are still great.
