Ask HN: Do you have a ThinkPad X1 Carbon?
I'm debating getting the X1 over a Macbook Air. What are your feelings on the X1? Also, whichever I end up buying is getting a big fat linux partition.
- plg 14y agoIs the x1carbon Ubuntu certified?
- Cieplak 14y agoI don't think so, but I can't verify because http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/ http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/ is throwing a 503 error.
- kuida0r3 14y agoThe site's back http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201104-7945/ http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201104-7945/
- NeutronBoy 14y agoNote the X1 is a different laptop than the X1 Carbon
- kuida0r3 14y agoAh thanks. I wasn't sure of that (but assumed they were pretty similar due to model #).
- pestaa 14y agoI'd seriously consider buying one if HDMI and at least one more USB interface were available. Anyone knows a lightweight laptop with HDMI, SSD and no optical drive?
- NeutronBoy 14y agoI'm just waiting for it to be released in Australia so I can see specs/prices. It's pricey, but no doubt far better for *nix than any Macbook. And it has a TrackPoint (although the trackpad is apparently Macbook-spec anyway).
- lsiebert 14y agoNope. I have a Thinkpad T530 though. Discrete GPU running on Mint 13 with Bumblebee ftw.
