For context (in case anyone thinks I'm nitpicking and all laptops are horribly supported on Linux): Basically everything works on the Thinkpad X1 Carbon [2], even the latest model (Gen11) as long as you buy the right one (no MIPI webcam). Unfortunately, Lenovo refuses to put AMD processors in X-series thinkpads (its top-of-the-line laptops).

The T14s has AMD, is much cheaper and having owned both I can't really see a difference. Maybe a few mm thicker.

  The T series and the W series are the only Thinkpads I ever considered. They are built to be maintainable and somehow upgradable. The sleeker X series make too many compromises (like soldering the RAM) to be so sleek, and it's not something I value at all. (Typing this from a T14 running Linux.)

    t14 amd has ram soldered now.

      Only half of it; I was able to add another 16GB.

        it was likely intel t14 or pre gen3 model. I read in many sources that they now have some soldered low power ram for amd.

Nitpick on the Nitpick, x1 are their thinnest, not necessarily top of the line laptops :-) There's a fairly straightforward set of compromises between thin, powerful, repairable, between X, Ts, T proper, P, etc.

What's with the X1s having such crappy screen resolutions (1920x1080)? My practically ancient Carbon X1 Gen 7 (2019?) has a screen of 2560x1440. You can't even buy a MacBook Air even at that poor a resolution nowadays.
