Heyy is it suitable for coding?

I'm a univerity student, I also run my own buisness; for me, the X1 Carbon is the one. It's light, performs brilliantly, durable, able to handle my work and my studies without breaking a sweat. Add in that, in my country, Lenovo will come to your home or work the next day to repair if you need, for three years. Before this, I had the X1 Nano, which was good, but the Carbon is far better in terms of durability and performance. If you can get a good deal on a X1 Nano Gen 1 or 2 and super endurance isn't needed, they are brilliant computers if you don't need the extra power though.

My favorite is Thinkpad T30 its better than t20 because first one in the t series that supports 2gb of ram and have wifi(unlike t20) so you can put a card in it that supports B/G/N and call networking a day Gentoo linux(compiled on a resource server) with optimizations to kernel and DWM makes it a beast. I program on it daily its a really cool machine. It took me years to realize whats my favorite thinkpad, when i was unexperienced i wanted not the machine that feels good to use, but the machine thats fast, and i dont need "fast" while streaming games over lan or using my server for compiling

A major problem this review omitted was addressing the weak hinges on their computers that break with time. If you spend $2500.00 on the X1 carbon and a hinge breaks Lenovo will not honor the repair, even though it is a design issue which they openly acknowledge they are aware of. So, basically you wind up owning a very expensive paper weight. The buyer needs to be aware of this flaw since it can be a very expensive mistake buying their products.

I think it's the opposite. Because it's so durable and well built, people assume everything is metal and handle it as if it cannot break.

From my experiences (dealing with L-15 (gen1&2), X-13(Gen1 and2), L580,L590 i can assure you that hinges are rock solid. But do yourself a favor : pay attention to the screen when you configure your Thinkpad : by default on budget series (L serie for example) is 250 nits : sufficient to work indoors but outdoors it can be troublesome (though mat screen helps a lot). Standards philips screws on all model (annoying plastic clips though, but heh... ) Look for sales on T/P series. In EU some days ago there was an insane sale on P14s with Ryzen Pro series.

Just after the turn of the century, I went to Best Buy, looking for a Wintel conputer. (I had a small collection of Mac laptops of the PowerBook and MacBook Pro persuasion.) I looked at the array of pastel, shiny-Aluminum computers, then my eye fell on a matte black-finish Lenovo ThinkPad. I had been hearing/reading about in computer magazines for years, and this SL410 looked unimpressive. It was on sale, so I chose "the one with the great keyboard." I still use it today, from time to time, even though a Core2 Duo is a bit behind the times. My other ThinkPad, on which I am typing this, is a T530, which has outlasted the Apple Mac laptops, which need major, fiddly repairs with a box of special tools. Why these ThinkPads? Easy, I want/need to play/record CDs and DVDs, which "modern portable computers" can't do without a spider's web/daisy chain of cables.

T430 still is my main workhorse....

I guess the days are over finding refurbished thinkpads under $300, transferring $250 worth of hardware and ending up with what would have been a new 1500 machine... I was wondering what the T series fanbase would recommend if I started down the path of a new laptop I can service and upgrade...? The most important aspect to me is the battery life. My t480 runs 14-16 hours It blows my mind the cost of these new machines. I dont need 4k, touchscreen, 120+hz refresh rate...just a laptop that processes queries fast for long periods! Anyone can build backup t480s for less than $600 with 64 gb ram, 2tb ssd, specs that run close to 2k because we all need the newest processor, dont we?...who cares if its an i5 7th gen (oh wait, gotta upgrade from 7th gen for those win10 security updates..)

Be careful with the newer Lenovo Thinkpads and Yoga's. They are innovative, but they break quickly or have build in flaws which never get fixed. You may end up with a flickering screen, or a disfunctional touchpad and Lenovo might simply declare it a 'feature'. Thinkpads are not what they have been in the past. The keyboards are degrading and the batteries capacity is quite limited.

Your battery life is lower on the newer models? Newer laptops should have astoundingly better battery. My P15 Gen 2 with FHD gets up to about 13 hours on a very light load just like my T15 Gen 2. My P17 Gen 2 gets around half of that but has a 4k screen. I get the P and T series which are the most robust and easy to service. There are so many that it's best to review different models thoroughly to be sure you're getting what's ideal to you. I remember back when laptops a decade or more ago got like one hour unplugged if you were lucky and it was designed for performance. I've had tons of laptops from a variety of brands cheap and expensive and haven't had them breaking all over the place.
