I like my Lenovo X1 Carbon. It's nice and light but still quite capable for my needs (web development). Everything just worked for me, with the exception of an external display which I spent about 20 seconds trying to get to work. It could easily have been user error given my lack of experience with external displays.
- brickmort 12y agoI've had the opportunity to play with X1 Carbon not too long ago and found it to be pretty damn impressive. Haven't used it with linux, but if I was to get a high-end laptop, I would definitely get an X1. Nice to see that it's also linux-capable.
- agranig 12y agoI'm using one since over a year, can't recommend. No proper support for the docking station (which goes via USB3 and doesn't support video output), power plug wears out really fast and causes ubuntu to reboot quite often when plugging it due to some short circuiting, disk is really slow for an ssd and working with vagrant sucks due to it, 802.11n driver doesn't work properly, etc etc. It looks well, feels well, but it's not suitable for devs. I'm a long time lenovo x200 line user, and the X1 is really bad compared to those models. Can't recommend.
