beautiful review

Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed

For the "love of whatever" I wish Lenovo would continue to offer a 4K screen on the 14" X1. I know they think it isn't necessary and opt for a lighter laptop vs a higher resolution screen. But I travel frequently and I much prefer a high resolution screen. I've always had a 4K screen 3840 x 2160 . Please, please, please!!

Hey, Great Review by the way. When are you to do review on thinkbook 16p gen4 and also it's comparison with Lenovo legion slim 7i?

@TechGuyBeau 8 месяцев назад

Legion Slim 7 yes. It’ll be out soonish :)

@KeithApp 4 месяца назад

Its a real shame they don't offer any AMD Ryzen options for the X1 Carbon models

@alparius2 8 месяцев назад

Hey man, I like your videos but it would be good to have a conclusion and some personal opinion at the end of them.

@trubadyr99 5 месяцев назад

I wondered how its speakers fare against the MacBook Air M2 13" or HP Dragonfly G4, which speakers are considered to be the best among ultraportable laptops?

@HiddenAgendas 6 месяцев назад

I finally upgraded from Gen 3. The Gen 3 is still running strong though. Went with oLED and 5G connectivity. X1 carbon is the best thin laptop

@TechGuyBeau 6 месяцев назад

Nice! OLED is killer, I just tested one on a t14. Been using for a month

@jordi33 6 месяцев назад

Hahaha I'm still running my Gen 3 and it's still holding up!

@akin242002 7 месяцев назад

I like that Lenovo finally decided to use an Intel U series CPU with the X1 Carbon. The previous iteration (12th gen CPU) was too powerful with a P series CPU and the thin frame of the X1 Carbon line. 13th gen U series CPU (i7 1365U) makes more sense. Also, it is powerful enough to do all business/finance/insurance CPU tasks. A highly snappy 2400 Geekbench 6 single core score, and over 8000 multi-core score with the i7 1365U CPU.

@lordpro3984 2 месяца назад

Hello, thank you for your explanation. Is it a suitable computer for games on Steam and how does it perform in games there?

@TechGuyBeau 2 месяца назад

Probably not great no. If you want to play games go with and AMD 7000 series cpu or 8000 Eg 7745hs, 7740u, or 8845hs

@oliver970 2 месяца назад

is this model linux compatible ?

@MegaXtc11 6 месяцев назад

Apart from the X1 Carbon, which models have the soft touch finish on the palmrest?

@TechGuyBeau 6 месяцев назад

X1 nano does. I’m putting out a review later today

@rocketscientist007 5 месяцев назад

I won't be buying another X1 Carbon until Lenovo puts the USB-C connectors on a daughterboard. The way it is now, they are unrepairable. Also, what happened to the WQHD display that was offered on the Gen6 which was non-touch, non glossy & 500 nits?

@davidarchangels6500 4 месяца назад

Those people at Lenovo are simply messing it all up....they are making fools of us...tinkering whats tried and tested

@wrtucey 6 месяцев назад

Does it sit flush on a table top? I've had bad luck with thin and lights where they simply won't sit flush and wobble on one corner or the other.

@TechGuyBeau 6 месяцев назад

There’s definitely no wobble like that

I can't find anything about the thermals in your review. I actually just sent mine back, it got too warm in the upper left part of the keyboard, the area about the F buttons and the bottom. Otherwise I really liked it, but I absolutely don't like warm keyboards. I will try the T14S Gen 4 AMD next, hopefully the cooling will be better, too bad it's noticeable heavier.

@TechGuyBeau 8 месяцев назад

I show thermals during cinebench. I have a t14 and coming. It should be better

@popokatapetl6995 8 месяцев назад

T14s gen 4 is the best bussines laptop in the market at the moment hp 845 g10 is awesome as well

@aec_corp 6 месяцев назад

When not using fully the CPU, how is the noise ? How much decibel ? Thanks

@TechGuyBeau 6 месяцев назад

It’s silent when doing basic tasks. So technically not audible.

Hi, I just bought my X1C gen11 but with 1370P, 1tb ssd with 32gb, 2.8k OLED screen, the worst thing about this one is the battery life!!!! It's only last aboout 3-4 hours if I I set the max processor rate to 60%, didn't know this thinkpad x1c can last up to 8 hours, mine x1c sucks! like to hear your advises

@TechGuyBeau 7 месяцев назад

It’s a bit rough. Intel CPUs aren’t the best for battery life. But you can turn off a lot of startup apps in task manager and remove bloatware like mcaffee

@akin242002 7 месяцев назад

You should have gotten the Intel i7 1365U CPU. Far better for battery life. The thin size of the laptop is difficult for Intel 12th & 13th gen P series CPUs to control heat.

@HiddenAgendas 6 месяцев назад

@@akin242002 Yep, I have the 1365 and battery life is amazing.

Do you you think the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 is a higher quality laptop compared to ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 (2023)? Which device is more premium? I am looking to purchase a laptop for a school child is aged 15. What do you reommend out of these laptops?

@TechGuyBeau 8 месяцев назад

Well, the surface is more premium but it’s also more fragile and expensive. Look into the t14 or p14s L. I have some reviews coming. They are nice

@balljointfd3s 6 месяцев назад

I work in Enterprise IT and these X1 Carbon's are surprisingly durable but they are on the more fragile side of laptops, the MS Surfaces are VERY fragile and I wouldn't give one to a corporate user let alone a Teenager. The only problem I have with the X1 (and all Lenovo's in general) is that they tend to experience more hardware related issues then other brands. However, they are kind of like cars, in that if you get a bad one (a Lemon) you'll know pretty quick and have multiple problems, but if you don't have problems then you probably won't have any. The only other thing I can say about the Lenovo X1 Carbon's is they are shockingly durable in two areas. They are remarkably resilient to liquids (spills), and the charging ports (you get two!) are remarkably durable. The chargers are quite durable as well. If you want something that is more durable then buy HP, but it will weigh a little more and not look as sexy.
