Were you aware of Thinkpad X1 Carbon 2018 release?

Thinkpad have been on the making for 30 years.
This is the newest incarnation. It has been designed by no other than Richard Sapper. It has 8th gen. Genuine Intel CPU.

Carbons will be on sale starting from the price range of 1800 dollars. For this price you will also get 256GB SSD inside the machine.

It is very thin and it weighes 1.1 kg.
The screen is very sharp. Keyboard is excellent.

The Good
-QHD screen
-lightweight
-keaboard
-battery live

The Bad
-too expensive compared to what you get in the same price range by the competitors

looks like any other """new""" chinkpad keyboard which is better than most other competitors but terrible compared to old thinkpad keyboard
vittu, pekka poopää

> designed by guy who died 3 years ago

if he was so good why did he die?

The 6th gen is from January.

The 6th gen is trash because it doesn't run Linux properly (new proprietary sleep mode). Sent mine back a few months ago :'(

isnt the CPU a bit slow

Joe Rogan has one, so memebooks are normie tier now

Does it have upgradable RAM and storage?

No, my T60 does everything I need it to. Just upgrade the HDD to an SSD, and that's the only bottleneck resolved.

>ULV

kek no thanks

Nigga, that shit has been out since february.
The fuck is wrong with you finns?

no but you can buy a faster computer when you need upgrade

The only reason people buy thinkpads is for durability and libreboot (for what those are worth).
Modern thinkpads come with "theft-prevention" malware.

>no but you can buy a faster computer when you need upgrade
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Into the trash it goes.

Why would I be? It has a shittier keyboard and is like 10 times more expensive than my thinkpad from years ago with no important benefit.

he was too good for his own good

get a job and you'll see it's not enough

very big boy

Nice ad, shill.
Looks like trash.

>16:9 display
kiddie toy

>some flimsy excuse for a laptop with 0 upgradable parts and no strength to withstand a bit of abuse, about the furthest away you could get from a business laptop
>somehow still wearing the thinkpad brand
how did this happen

Do they still go through the same durability testing? IIRC I remember them dropping a 1st gen carbon from a scissor lift when they first announced it, along with a laptop they (supposedly) found at lost & found. Obviously it survived while the other didn't. I wanna see them do that again at the next reveal.

i rather buy a Windows Surface with my own keyboard than meme thin pointless shit overheating no graphics....

>35-45w
>quad core, eight threads
>lumping it in the same group as dual core ULVs
I have nothing to tell you

perkele

Ram? No. Storage? Yes.

I can tell it's sub FHD already

>overheating intel cpu with unfixed spectre/meltdown
>everything is soldered down like in a fucking macbook
>$2500+ for decent specs

Nah fuck that, where's A285?

An xps still looks better and is better made

>$1800
>256 GB SSD
>QHD screen, not 4K
what the h*ck

Normies complaining that business laptops don't look like MacBook Airs

Macbooks are business laptops, thinkpads are manchildren toys

Actually I believe Lenovo fucked up the A285 as well. Soldered RAM and battery can't come out from the back or bottom so it cannot be upgraded. They didn't even switch back to anniversary keyboard to compensate that. With these things fixed I would buy it.

Well at least it isn't flimsy and super expensive.

Lenovo doesn't catter to you.

you realize non ULV are fucking ridiculous at this point? ULV is a full 35W, quad with eight threads. What the fuck do you want on a laptop lmao

still, how much ram does it come with? 32GB should be plenty for VMs, 16GB minimum

found the homosexual

>using your personal computer for work

I seriously hope you guys don't do this

When are they going to make a fanless thinkpad.

When computers designed for work won't overheat without one.

>2018
>still buying the ULV are bad maymay
All modern laptop CPU are ULV.

Rogan is a long time tech user, noob.
In the 90s he had a T1 line going into his house to play Quake on.

>still ULV
oof

but I've had a 6th gen since March?

>It has been designed by no other than Richard Sapper
Richard Sapper died in 2015

>no but you can buy a faster computer when you need upgrade
Fuck yourself
