ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2020 Review: Familiar business laptop with a new power adapter

[Redaktion]

Lenovo shows the 8th generation of its business flagship ThinkPad X1 Carbon. However, it is just a very small update and it looks like you only get a new Intel Comet Lake-U processor at first. AMD processors are not planned for this generation of the expensive business notebook.

That looks suspiciously like Dell's power supply!

(and that I have been using for my T480, because it is nice than the original Levono).

PWM? On an X1 Carbon? What kind of garbage is this?

I'm fed up with this panel lottery  >:(

You pay over 2000 USD and you can't be even sure what you will get.

16GB LPDDR3 with no 32GB or more LP/DDR4 option...

Modern Thinkpad model range is ridiculous. One gets to choose between good displays coupled with midrange at best hardware, and appropriate high-end hardware and poor displays. Every update cycle the situation remains the same, Lenovo continues to s*** on Thinkpad legacy of truly high-end machines.

Why would Lenovo choose to compromise its top tier laptop lineup with PWM? Even if it is like 100 000Hz and only below 10%, there is always a human factor.

It's very sad to see what Lenovo is doing with ThinkPad series. PWM in a laptop designed for work is not acceptable in my opinion (especially in such expensive device).
Another thing I would like to point out is your rating system, in my opinion, it should consider PWM as a factor. If such laptop gets 90% something is very wrong.
