Do you use an X1 Carbon? I've heard a lot of people remarking about it, but very few of those people actually seem to use one.

If you do, how's the screen?



I got one the first day I could order in the UK with a US English keyboard, and I love it. Running ubuntu. I was on a two year old macbook pro before. I'm not a screen connoisseur, but it's non-glare yet bright. I like it. But the vertical resolution is lower than on older thinkpads. Fewer lines of code.


Thanks! I went from a T61 to an MBP a few years back, but I do mostly .net development so I've been considering going back to a Lenovo. This is useful!


x1 carbon owner checking in. screen is bright and matte so no glare issues. that said i certainly would not use it for serious photo editing or graphic work. however the keyboard plus trackpad are outstanding, plus you have the mouse nub if you hate trackpads. overall it's a very worthy alternative to a mba.


No, I've got an older T-series model, but I'm considering upgrading. My opinions are mostly based on reviews I've read online.
