Quote from: SpeedDemon on January 21, 2024, 18:28:31I wish they'd drop the USB-A and HDMI ports and give us more USB-C. Every other laptop I've had over the last 4-years has been USB-C only. If I had to plug something USB-A into my laptop or HDMI, then there would surely be a dongle/adapter available.

Literally the same can be said for USB-C. Ditching USB-A and going the Dell route wouldn't be just a major joke but also a disaster and a big middle finger to business users, and ThinkPads are business machines primarily.

Because the X1 line is being designed and developed in partnership with Intel.

still no AMD ?? Why stick to intel? I'm longing for a top of the line AMD 7840 thinkpad 2in1.

The T440 was not a haptic touchpad. It was a trackpad without physical buttons.

I don't think there will be one.

Nope, typing on my X1C9 now. No sticker there.

I also have the X1C9 - it's an embedded sticker.

"Huge" redesign:
- "new markings on many important keys"
- "ThinkPad logo is no longer a sticker"
:)

However, it looks like Lenovo continue to remove what was good about their machines.  The click and lock keyboard has gone, then the 1.5mm travel, then the micro-SD port, and now the pen-silo.  Take a good design and make it gradually worse to save money seems to be the Lenovo approach, and pretend it's an "improvement".  At least they learnt their lesson with the terrible touch bar in the 2nd Gen - something that Dell have yet to realise with their XPS.

Of course the ThinkPad logo is a sticker/decal on the X1 Carbon G9. The glossy black texture of the logo is not part of the case.

Meh. I did not get a sense of the design, just details. I'd like to see their research on the pen garage. Separate pen is a disaster. Guessing most people just use it occasionally, others can get a larger accessory pen. Or just make it an add-on altogether.

Regardless, they need a top end convertible with an AMD chip, it's obviously a case of partnership over best choice for the consumer.
