anyone here with an X1 Carbon laptop? thinking of getting a used one... or an X390 (which is new) brycec: lol that view is only half! seems I have a lot of backlog to catch up on... Yes. I have two X1 Carbons and a T480s. X1 Carbon is great. I needed a bit more RAM and so I went with the T480s, which is the same size as my old X1 Carbon. Just don't get the 2nd gen with the terrible touchbar. +1 to all of that. Like mhoran said, know what you're getting into: the T-series is a more powerful laptop, and the T...s is just-slightly-larger than a Carbon (just barely). But the X1 Carbon I have is great. I've been on the T-series for quite some time but I want to travel with something lighter yet not have a small screen Well the T...s is smaller. 14" screen. Just like the X1. But yeah X1 is great. all the 14" screen models, that I've seen, had low contrast ratio on the displays (which I tend to be picky about) But there's no discernable size diff between my X1 and T480s. what about weight? This screen is ridiculously good. Same weight. ah there's some X1 carbon's on ebay for only a few hundred bucks The newer X1 is lighter than the newest T480s, but I'm comparing a two year old X1 with a one year old T480s. Yeah they don't hold value well haha. lol no technology does I think Macs do a bit at least. OK I'm going to look at the T480s too what's the max memory on the X1 vs T480 ? I think the newset X1 can have 24 and I have 24. Or maybe X1 max is 16? Ah OK 16 is enough for me wow the T480s has a 700:1 contrast ratio screen; that's really good Yeah it's really nice. X1 Carbon weight starts slightly less. 2.49 lb vs. 2.9 lb (T480s) a bit less than 1/2 a pound 5th and 6th gen X1's are still pricey used but 4th gen, still with a 700:1 CR screen, is better might be the sweet spot I have an X1 Carbon from work. It is awesome. Wish I had more RAM though The docking station rocks. One USB type C and you are good to go - dual monitor, ethernet, multiple USB and Power all taken care of Yeah -- I hate that you have to get a "docking station" to get all the things in a USB-C, vs. the plethora of USB-C dongles out there. The dongles can't do 4k@60p over the USB-C but the $300 docking station can. :(
