up_the_ironsanyone 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...
[16:58]
mhoranYes.
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.
[17:00]
mike-burns+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.
[17:02]
up_the_ironsI've been on the T-series for quite some time
but I want to travel with something lighter
yet not have a small screen
[17:04]
mhoranWell the T...s is smaller.
14" screen.
Just like the X1.
But yeah X1 is great.
[17:04]
up_the_ironsall the 14" screen models, that I've seen, had low contrast ratio on the displays (which I tend to be picky about) [17:05]
mhoranBut there's no discernable size diff between my X1 and T480s. [17:05]
up_the_ironswhat about weight? [17:05]
mhoranThis screen is ridiculously good.
Same weight.
[17:05]
up_the_ironsah
there's some X1 carbon's on ebay for only a few hundred bucks
[17:05]
mhoranThe 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.
[17:05]
up_the_ironslol no technology does [17:06]
mhoranI think Macs do a bit at least. [17:06]
up_the_ironsOK I'm going to look at the T480s too
what's the max memory on the X1 vs T480 ?
[17:06]
mhoranI think the newset X1 can have 24 and I have 24. Or maybe X1 max is 16? [17:07]
up_the_ironsAh OK
16 is enough for me
wow the T480s has a 700:1 contrast ratio screen; that's really good
[17:11]
mhoranYeah it's really nice. [17:11]
up_the_ironsX1 Carbon weight starts slightly less. 2.49 lb vs. 2.9 lb (T480s)
a bit less than 1/2 a pound
[17:16]
....... (idle for 30mn)
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

mnathaniI 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
[20:07]

mhoranYeah -- 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. :( [23:27]
