Indeed. Compared to what I'm typically forced to look at during Hangouts sessions, the quality of the webcam looks pretty darn good, especially as the cam is up high instead of down by the keyboard where they always produce those up-the-nose shots.

The fingerprint reader is in the RIGHT place. If it's on the ower button, you risk clicking it in and Windows will power down or hibernate, while trying to logon. That's just mental to me. When you're trying to login, you already have your hands near the keyboard or touchpad. So the fingerprint near that, makes total sense.

The macbook pro handles this by ignoring the shutdown signal if it asks for a finger scan. But none the less its honestly whatever you prefer. Oh and the macbook keyboard is utterly DISGUSTING.

Linus don't encourage Lenovo X1 carbon series to have a bigger track pad. We use it for typing and non stop functionality. It's better and more ergonomic to have a middle sized track pad is better.

[@Armadurapersonal]

Yeah, I freaking hate maxipads that rely on software to not move when you're typing. The size of the X1C is more than enough.

[@hadenclaire]

That, and nobody ever uses the trackpad on these. If you're at a desk you have a mouse (admit it: everyone plugs in their mouse to their laptop when at a desk) and if you're not a desk, the trackpoint is just fine. Trackpads need to go extinct.

[@thegardenofeatin5965]

@@hadenclaire I use trackball mice, so I've been known to use my trackball while walking around with a laptop. I never have understood the point of huge trackpads; I tend to rest my wrist on the computer while using it, so if I have to pick up and move my wrist...Why don't I just pick up and reposition my finger?

[@StewartStewart]

Yeah, we might get the t440 again

[@SkepticalCaveman]

I use the trackpoint, the only thing I use the trackpad is for two finger scrolling. The track point is faster to use than a mouse so I don't use mice anymore. A pro tip set the track point speed to max and learn to use light touch, you will never use a mouse again.

Just got my third ThinkPad. I love Lenovo's whole approach towards this laptop, it nails the basics without much compromise. I am glad they managed to keep the ThinkPad brand alive even after so long since acquisition from IBM, they really did justice to it by not making it another Windows laptop in the market by copying a Mac design.

[@EspHack]

it seems laptop OEMs will never move on from that same 2007 720p camera module, with just the odd tablet-laptop thingy here and there sporting a 5MP sensor from a 2013 phone or something

[@nullgator8073]

EspHack thickness of the sensor module is probably a big limiting factor in laptops compared to phones front facing cameras. Even still they should be a lot better, especially on business class devices. Being the one in the conference call with really bad audio/video is not a good subconscious impression to leave

[@CaptainGod3]

Damiano Truzzi I think it may possibly have something to with the custom software used by the best smartphone cameras like the pixel ,also the pixel has a dedicated imaging chip .but that said OEMs can definitely do better that what is the current standard

[@AbrahamsYTC]

EspHack I think it's because no one really uses it? None of the people I know use the camera on a laptop...either phone, dedicated webcam, or actual camera. Itd be nice, but I think if they improved it, most still would not use it. Still, there should be at least an option to provide a better quality camera on top of the line laptops or even, have it as an add on upgrade for like 30-40 bucks.

[@kristoffer5797]

EspHack o

[@MHWGamer]

A business laptop has to have a good webcam + good audio! That's one of the reasons why you buy them. On a mainstream laptop you really don't need it anymore (smartphones are better for that), therefore the OEMs can leave them out and make super slim bezels instead

[@Inivican]

ThinkPads are supposed to be ThinkPads, not macbooks. I don't understand the obsession with bigger trackpads. If anything, it is easier to type if you have a smaller or nonexistent trackpad. That seemed like a pretty good webcam to me but, then again, it is hardly the thing that I value most in a laptop. Now when it comes to being able to replace RAM, the X1 Carbon is a FAIL. It seemed pretty great up until that point.

[@DeadDinosaur]

Agreed, i really wish they still made laptops without trackpads/touchpads/whatever, just have touchscreens and trackpoint and you got a great combo.

[@AlexLoVecchio]

As a happy owner of a 5th gen X1 Carbon, the value proposition comes down to what kind of person you are. If you want a laptop that you can buy, and continue using for a LONG time, the X1 is a great choice. I’m a full time college student, and my tech doesn’t get treated nicely (think regular dropping on hard floors). My computer sustained virtually no physical damage, and the selection of ports are as stiff as day one. Buy a Surface laptop if you want a great computer for a few years, buy a Carbon if you want a good computer for a decade.

[@btw111]

100% agreed. I use one in the service industry as a technician, and it has been dropped off ladders with only minor blemishes to the corners. The 5th gen is Rock solid, I can only hope that the 6th gen will be exactly the same build quality.

[@IvanAtli]

How's the battery life been? I have a surface pro 4 that (at whoppin 2 years old) is dying on me and I'm looking for a laptop that'll actually last (that's not a Mac)

[@btw111]

The battery life on the X1 is pretty impressive. When it was new, I could easily expect 7-10hrs of battery (with standard settings), after about 4 years of heavy use and a decent amount of abuse, I still see 5-8hrs (again, depending on use.) My only complaint I have with mine is the necessity for the LAN adapter/dongle when using a wired network connection. As a service tech who is using the LAN connection constantly, it's a little inconvenient, and the dongle has started to show signs of wear. With this type of use though I can easily expect that. That is the only complaint I can come up with about it.

This sure brings back memories of playing games like megaman 3, final fantasy 7 and original pixel doom back in 2005. It all ended when it was smashed at the LAX airport. That's when my childhood ended.

Please do a Thinkpad P1 review. None of the big channels reviewed the P1 and it's the one workstation that far surpass the MacBook Pro top configuration

[@kingraiderr]

Dave lee did that.

[@Athrunwong]

What’s keeping me buying the ThinkPad is the TrackPoint. Little red dot are awesome, I never tried Carbon. But I love my T470. They aren’t on the top of the line but heck they are reliable.

[@xremming]

I've used two of the previous models of X1 Carbon (and still do) as my daily work machine for the last year or so (programming etc.), with Linux. It's an absolutely perfect laptop for me, and I'll not be changing.

They make great music production laptops. Tons of legacy USB but with thunderbolt as an option makes it wonderful as a show computer.

I just completed work on a Lenovo before watching this vid. I think these machines looking and feeling the way they do makes me more productive tbh 😂

Linus would love the T440/T540/X240-series trackpad which is a lot like the Macbook's. He wouldn't be popular on r/thinkpad though.

Trackpoint master race

[@garysimcox345]

Do laptop manufacturers realize that virtually no user (not even power users) actually uses the Kensington lock?

[@garysimcox345]

Lumi I believe it’s just supposed to tether the device to a certain area so you can’t physically steal it, which is only something you’d need on a business laptop with very valuable info on it. I don’t get why they put them on consumer laptops, nobody uses them lols

[@MultiCjrox]

Gary Simcox do you realize that they have them on there so that retailers can have them out on display safely?

[@garysimcox345]

MultiCjrox I don’t see why there’s a reason to include them in production devices though. There are many ultrabooks without Kensington lock ports that are put on display and stores still find ways to secure them properly.

[@getsomegoodstuff]

Actually my dad's work place has Kensington locks because it's really necessary that other departments can't use your laptop. So only if you bring it home with you is it not locked and then your access to the sensitive stuff is limited due to not being on the network. I have a feeling my mom's workplace is considering it but both of their work places are pretty high in security requirements across the board so it's not exactly the norm. So the department access is limited inside the company which stops un-authorized users from accessing it. BTW this is not a consumer laptop but a corporate business laptop with the required security just sold to consumers as a secondary market because my dad is getting this laptop or something similar.

[@sgradone]

Gary Simcox because there is a demand for them in the market and it's cheaper to make less variations of a product.

[@reoencarcelado5904]

(For anyone reading this) For those who weren't born in 1986 or before: The so-called "nub" / "mouse nipple" = is actually called a "Pointing Stick". The so-called "trackpad" = is actually called a "Touchpad". ("Trackpoint" is actually a proprietary name given by IBM (and later Lenovo). Similar to "Kleenex", "Velcro", and "Xerox" (in that they are all proprietary-names)). P.S. @Linus-Sebastian (& anyone-else complaining-about the-pointing-stick): Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXmboJJjbMd-f7c (A Tutorial on how-to-use the pointing-stick). Also: As far as I know, the switched-places "Function" (ie. Fn) and "Control" (ie. Ctrl) keyboard-keys were done for Ergonomy reasons. The spacebar acts as the function-button to turn on-&-off the keyboard-backlight, and the Fn key was moved to the lower-left-hand-corner to make it easier to find in the dark. [Here's an interview in which the inventor/designer/originator/creator about it discusses it:] kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKCydHebnrmgd9E

[@FSM_Reviews]

I'd still have a ThinkPad T61 alongside it. Older ThinkPad keyboards always comfort me.

[@toothlessblue]

I don't know I'm just depressed.

[@jackwindensky5606]

I used to use this laptop for work. It was good, keyboard was awesome, resolution was awesome, the only downfall was a bit less style (that port was awesome too). I thought about buying one for myself but man it's pricy as hell.

[@marcofava]

Look into the Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro (Both normal and GTX Editions). Amazing laptop, good build quality, long battery life, same components available and they don't run higher than 1200$ (the top model with the i7 8650U, 16 gigs of ram, GTX1050 and 256 gig ssd with one open slot)

[@ygprmn_id]

I finally bought this in 2023 XD

[@riothecat7696]

How is it? Thinking of buying it for work reasons

[@luimu]

This is funny to watch after other thinkpad videos which all complained about the trackpad being too big and only one button, while demanding this trackpad back into the future versions. Also this version has centered keyboard which many of the new ones don't have so this is pretty much perfect thinkpad if you ignore the price and non-existant repairability.

[@Fallen7Pie]

A comparison note since I just happened to take 3 generations of these apart. They're thinkpads, they're easy to work on and it's wonderful

[@jimmyl82104]

I still have the ThinkPad T410s.

[@Infigo96]

T420 with quadcore and egpu... A new T480 looks juicy though

[@razvanmiracom]

x230 here also! :)

[@michaelscholz44]

Thats actually a good point. I still use the E535 I picked up for 400€ about 6 years ago. I took it to university everyday, traveled with it and even had a bike accident with it beeing my backpack. The thing still works like a charm! Undo four screws and you can easily clean the fan. Undo two more and you can put new thermal paste on the CPU. Thinkpads are build to last, and they do. Best 400€ I´ve ever spend.

[@aldorandomprojects2179]

I still have a w530, and is still a damn beast. upgraded to the max with a core i7, 32 gigs of ram, 256gb msata SSD, 2tb HDD, and 1TB SDD on cd room expansion bay, added two extra USB 3.0 sub ports with a expresscard adapter, and finally, replaced the LCD pannel with a full HD one. for a computer that is about 7 years old, I'd say is a damn impressive machine.

[@jimmyl82104]

Mine has an i5-520m, 4GB RAM and a 240GB SSD. It is a decent laptop considering I got it for free.

[@lammatt]

the whole point of a thinkpad is THE TRACKPOINT and linus keeps talking about a bad trackpad, wtf this channel is getting worst every day so lame

[@AtomAnt1]

If you put a trackpad on a laptop reviewers will talk about it. If you don't want them to talk about it, either put a good trackpad or remove it altogether making the trackpoint the only navigation input on the laptop.

[@devdanielrs]

We've returned more broken X1 carbons than every other laptop combined

[@monaccofranze8308]

Yeah, their build quality sucks bad. My old Thinkpads were much sturdier.

[@sdothark]

Daniel Smallwood The X1's I've had a chance to use always have something wrong with them. Either the display is bad, the hinges are shot, the touchpad is unresponsive, or literally anything and everything else. Never the first gen machines though, they're weirdly one of the most reliable machines I've ever used or sold - If I had a first gen x1 with the chassis of a 5th or 6th I'd be happy, seriously one of the most comfortable thin&lights to use despite its flaws.

[@brandonambrose]

We’ve always had good luck with X1’s, the X230 was the one that always got screwed up. Either a broken screen, bezel, or bad motherboard. However the L500 series has been absolute tanks.

[@sandi260]

maybe because thats all you have? thats like we've returned more macs than any windows machines in an Apple environment...

[@devdanielrs]

We've had many laptops, but the rate of the X1 carbons vs all other laptops we use (most use older gen non-carbon ThinkPads, though there are others) is substantially higher

[@FelixO]

I have a soft spot for this laptop. The design is classy and nice and the form factor is perfect.

[@robertczanik3196]

One thing that would make the X1C more appealing is if there was a discrete GPU - for data science, it would be the ultimate machine!
