Anyone can comment on Carbon X1 compared to the Z13?
- wmf 3y agoDon't buy Intel at this point. Maybe the Meteor Lake Carbon will be better.
- stncls 3y agoFor context, battery life has cratered on some Thinkpad models (e.g. X1 Nano) with the latest Intel CPUs. This is partially Lenovo's fault for choosing higher-power lower-efficiency CPUs (and of course partially just Intel CPUs being more power-hungry than AMD's).
- skrtskrt 3y agoI don't know how to permalink to my other comment, but my experience is the below: > I got the Z13 as my personal and loved it so much I got the Z16 for work. > I was very displeased with the quality on the X1 Carbon Gen 9 I had for work before that, felt like a $400 laptop. Just creaky thin plastic everywhere, the click buttons worked 1/10th of the time, awful trackpad. Also the the crtl-alt-fn key placement on the X series is ridiculous. > basically I wanted macbook-level hardware quality, with easy Linux support (safe for the now-long-gone butterfly keyboard issues) I figured Z series would be the closest thing and it has really delivered. > I wish there were an in-between size - more screen real estate than the Z13, but not as gigantic and hefty as the Z16.
