Is that Austin’s nipple there?
So do Lenovo products no longer come with Superfish installed at this
point?
Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon – how does a business-grade laptop stack up
against our usual gaming variants?
what exactly make a laptop “business” grade?
why is having “only 8GB” of RAM such a cripple? I can’t imagine anyone
using this for image or video software, so it can’t be that much of a big
deal… right?
Im am using the nipple on my school computer becuse its an old sandy bridge
computer and the touch pad sucks
I think a test of the legendary durability would be good, to see if it
still holds the same standards as before.
These comments.. *facepalm*
So what does the ‘orange nipple’ actually do?
Hey linus, I think you might be able to swap the FN-CTRL buttons in bios,
some thinkpads allow that.
Nothing on the weak sauce graphics? They could have at least put an 840M or
a K1100M in there, or offered it.
why cant i add you on steam:(
but can it play mienkraft?!?
Let’s admit it. The laptop looks absolutely brilliant. The screen is
absolutely brilliant. If only we could have the edge-to-edge keyboard like
the new macbook, buttons above the touchpad placed underneath it and I
wouldn’t mind getting rid of the nipple. Fingerprint scanner placed lower
if neccessary. That would be close to perfect ultrabook design.
Who uses their index finger to press the space bar?
2:36 lol, now intel tells us the speed of integrated gpu xDDDD
This just plain sucked.
So the ram isn’t user upgradeable?
Doesn’t Lenovo pack their laptops with malware?
Lets say i change my PSN password… it wont change my E-Mail password
aswell? Just my PSN password right?
The logic behind not having a 16 GB option is the same as your dismissal of
the 5200U. It just doesn’t make sense given the rest of the system. 95%
of the time, if you will use 16GB of RAM, you will have a much more
powerful processor, and probably a dedicated graphics card with it.
Currently I stand at 92K (off by 150 from 93K) and aim is 100K today. The
*+1* would help out a lot :D
consumer grade lenovo laptops are horrible quality.
Quick unrelated question. Is this build any good? Id be using it for gaming
and working with high resolution images in photoshop cs6 as well as a fair
bit of multitasking.
