I just bought a ThinkPad X1 Tablet Gen 3. Everything works great, the on screen keyboard is actually functioning properly and appears on demand every time. Screen orientation is handled properly and promptly. The only let-down so far is battery life, but I need to make some adjustments to help there.
I'm running the latest version of Fedora workstation, under wayland too.
This thing is the only truly repairable tablet I've encountered so far, 8 screws and the display pops off, no glue, no can opener required like a Surface Pro. 9 screws to get the heatsink off (they're all captive) and you're at the full size NVME SSD.

- algas 3y agoI love my X1 tablet gen 1, but I need to repair the screen on it. Not sure if it's still true for the gen 3, but the gen 1 had a lot of modular parts you could add, like an extra battery that also gives you an HDMI port. Plus, I had this ridiculously nice solid carrying case.
- walteweiss 3y agoWhat’s the battery life for you? You didn’t specified. Is it bad compared to tablets or compared to that same device with Windows installed? What the bad is exactly, is it 3–4 hours, is it 10 hours?
- amiga-workbench 3y ago3-4 hours right now, but there is about 20% battery wear and I've not setup TLP yet.
