I've got the new model. Nearly all recent Linux Distributions are not supported. I tried openSUSE leap, ubuntu, popOS, etc. The problem is that the hardware is so new. For instance, the wifi module fully doesn't work, since the wifi7 support... Probably 24.04 15.6 or so will add the support for this fully new laptop.
@@shadowquark Right. I am also worried about the haptic touchpad as the gestures and level of haptic feedback are software controlled. Hope Lenovo understands that a large proportion of their customers are Linux users.
@@anirbanchakraborty1102 They know this for sure, since in some markets like Germany, a large number of thinkpad are shipped without system. By default, all these customers are using linux. Otherwise, there is no reason to buy a laptop without system. On campuspoint, more than half of selling models of thinkpad have no system.
I would love it if they could make a series of thinkpads like the original good IBM ones which had easilly swappable keyboards and upgradeable components. I appreciate all the improvements in technology but not everything has to be thin-at-all-costs with soldered components. Framework is setting the example that should be followed in terms of upgradeability.
Thinkpads are not what they used to be, I'll purchase a framework when they launch here. With soldered components they are just another PC manufacturer.
High refresh rate and haptic touchpad are welcome options. I like the buttons but believe I could get used to the larger touchpad. However, it seems the yoga line gets more love in the battery compartment with many companies building similar thin and lights with larger batteries (some up to 75Whr while staying light), yoga line also has mini-led but it’s a toss up comparison with high refresh oled.
ALL ThinkPads also need more love with regard to the speakers! Why are the best ThinkPad speakers worse than the shittiest Mac ones? Huawei manages to build great speaker systems, too!
My brand new X1 Carbon today managed 1 hour and 58 minutes of battery life using about 50% display brightness and running Microsoft Office. So yeah, it’s better than my older X1 Carbon, but only by about 10 minutes.
Give me back the physical click trackpoint buttons, even if they're small. It's invaluable when working with gloves on. And you should increase the key travel; that was the one thing that distinguished Thinkpads from every other brand for without it there's increasingly fewer reason to buy one.
You can have the physical buttons as an option, but Lenovo trackpads have been total shit for a long time. The rest of us are hoping the haptic brings them up to snuff.
As somebody who disables touchpad I would like you to have an option to enable in a mode where it is not controlling mouse, but listening for gestures., e.g. switching desktops or programs with two finger swipe, like write c with a finger to open ChatGPT...
Linux drivers? Wifi, bluetooth, sound card are not working even with the most recent kernel 6.7.2. It is useless for me while I have to stick on it my old X1 died.
Super exciting! As a Developer and Small Business owner that drives my work through a Lenovo X1 Gen 3 and P1 Gen 2, love the newer models! Bring chips that last longer, and drive more displays using discrete GPU when power is attached, and drive AI workloads.
@@ffreezed5620 Truly, I don't lie brother. Just buy it when the price got lowered. But this still a great machine for work and play I can gat it around $180 now. i5 6th gen and Nvidia 940MX onboard
Hey Lenovo, why does the X1 2-in-1 not support the Intel Ultra performance H CPUs but only the midrange U series? The X1 Carbon goes up to 155H. The internals of the X1s are more or less the same. This would be a massive dealbreaker for the 2-in-1.
Honestly my main gripe with thinkpads is avg battery backup 4-6hrs, and low brightness screens on base model ,which is pretty low for a business grade , portable notebook. Atleast add a 70wh battery and 500nits fairly colour accurate display on models that cost 1k or above. Ironically yoga lineup is better suited for business use than thinkpads , unless u need vpro or smartcard reader
Thinkpads can do be folded all the way through like an iPad, right? I'm new to Microsoft. This is my first time buying one in replacement of my MacBook.
After updating moto g70 tablet dolby performance is not responding.. how to recover it's all company' trap.. they provide best features for sale then after they will take back all quality after updates
Lenovo!!! Add support for a second SSD to X1/X13 Yoga so that the user can make backups on it on the road even when it is out of Internet coverage (instead of a smartcard reader compartment, which almost no one needs anymore). Bring back the classic keyboard layout like the X220. Bring back the tactile design of the keys, especially those designed for the trackpoint. Add a backlight color that is individually customizable for each key. Return the Break key, it is important for text layout conversion programs!!! Return the SD card compartment! And you don't have to chase the thickness, at the expense of cooling. For most business users, it is important that the laptop fits into the compartment of the briefcase along with A4 papers in its length and height, and its thickness is much less important. Return RJ 45, but already at 2.5gbps. Return the light bulb as in the X220. Return to the normal docking stations, where the laptop can be placed with one hand while the other hand is busy with a mug of some kind of drink. And I'm ready to be the first to get in line for your laptop. Or you can just invite me to the position of CEO, then I'll fix everything myself :)

wait, where's the rollcage?, and why go back to the t440 trackpad, you guys already saw how enraged people were with it the last time, hope i'm just overreacting with that last statement, overall it looks decent enough for a laptop
@@xpusostomos one thing is technology moving on, another is removing a standard feature that protected the components of the line for years and one of the reasons the older models are as durable ad they are so...kind of a big deal being honest the trackpad thing IS overreacting, but i'm wary because of the situation of the t440 models and their trackpads, not because "uhh tradition"
Hi @findtruth7! Thanks for your interest with our product. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 is already available. You may check this link lnv.gy/3S4ANod for available models. -Jomz_Lenovo
Hi @fiffy6572! Thanks for reaching out. We hope you're doing well. The key near the right Ctrl-key is the Fingerprint Reader. The Print Screen key is at the F9-key. -Jomz_Lenovo
Why is it that i called for a broken camera during warranty and your service didnt repair. We call few months after with same problem and you wont repair the problem. Even tho it was mentionned during warranty and never repaired correctly by your service. When i try to explain the situation to many agents on the phone, they tell me the warranty is over and there is nothing to do, Lenovo would never repair under warranty. I would understand if the problem was new, but there was a service call for the exact same problem, and the solutions proposed didnt repair the problem. My employee was away for while, when she came back she told me the problem with camera is still there but Lenovo wouldnt repair because the warranty was over. I tried calling myself and i got the same answer. I thought Lenovo was a serious company and reliable customer service. I bought 3 laptops from them since 4 years. It will be my last time for sure. Be very careful if you have an issue, make sure it is fixed before the end of warranty, if not extend the warranty.
Hi there! The Lenovo ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 4 is expected to be available starting May 2024, with an expected starting price of €1,099. Stay tuned for more!
Apologies for the confusion! The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 will be available in the US starting March 2024, with an expected starting price of $2,639. We do not have details for global pricing and availability at this time.
Oh no, not the integrated mouse buttons again. Didn’t you learn the first time? No thanks. For more info, see Louis Rossmann’s video on classic vs modern ThinkPad design.
A little bit of a story about Lenovo experience Swiss branch. Ive been thinkpad user for over 10 yrs now. Last thinkpad I ordered was from the Swiss branch pc with addons worth of CHF1k. When I received my new Thinkpad, there was no addons at all. Getting help from their website is just a mess. Took me hours to get to a real person-messenger. At first they tried to convince me that I ordered a plain laptop, however when I showed the order details and comparison of a anked laptop vs the same one with addons, conversation started moving. I was promised that they will review the case (only they know what there is to review) and get back to me with 5 working days. Its been 10 calendar days now, no feedback from them, and I still cant use my laptop because I dont know whether I will end up returning it (matter of principle) or they will revert with something constructive. After such experience I am definitely not going to be their customer ever again. And do not recommend to invest in their products to anyone.
Most thinkpads are apple copycats, unfortunately. They used to have the best keyboard bar none and decided to ditch it for the island-style nonsense everybody uses. They gradually lower the key travel and use aluminium to resemble... well apple. Everything soldered in, even in the non ultra thin series. I am afraid that in the years to come, no competitive advantage will remain, just another laptop. It's a shame because the company does experiment. Begin by giving the choice of the classic keyboard at least in some models. Other companies try to have a good keyboard. Lenovo inherited the best of the best and threw it away.
It's meh, honestly. Although GNOME works fine, third party apps, like telegram, just don't always work. Also, I don't think there'll be Linux drivers for when entering tablet mode (to turn off the keyboard that it) Sadly, Linux and manufacturers have a way to go to bring real support for 2 in 1 Speaking from experience - had to go to windows after a long time with Linux, just because of the 2 in 1 frustrations
Hello @MingsenPan. Thank you for reaching us for support. Sorry for the trouble, This is not the kind of experience we want you to have. Could you provide a little detail about your issues? Are you having a technical issue or order issue? Please let us know, we're here to help. Wilson_Lenovo
Hi @maheshj7197, the processor is: Intel Core i5-1235U (12th Gen) / 1.3 GHz. If you have questions about the laptop specification, let us know. Thanks! Addie_Lenovo
@@Lenovo What are you talking about, these have the new "Ultra" chips which are 14th gen, no? Why would you put 12th gen in aa new premier model? Intel introduced 14th gen with the "ultra" branding.
Stop virtue signaling and focus on the tech, 75% of this video is unrelated to laptop specs or capabilities. And as a recent P16 G4 buyer I must say: ubuntu you offer as an OS option should never be allowed on models with nvidia cards/drivers, it is amazingly buggy.
LOL. Trying so hard to copy Apple we might as well buy Apple, Bring back 7 row keyboard. real touchpad for T-series. No touchpad for X-series. Bring back the IBM design . At this rate, we might never even buy the used ones never mind the new ones
How infuriating this top protruding camera is. Not only is this not beautiful, but it also loses strength. Falling onto this protruding part immediately replaces: screen, camera, hinges, microphones. I'd rather buy the previous model than this...
