One of my faves. I love my carbon gen 6.
The title says this is a 6th Gen but the Features say it has an 8th Generation Intel Core i7-8550U Processor, so I guess it’s really an 8th Gen.
It is gen 6. The processor generations are ahead of the laptops. For example, the x1 gen 8 uses 10th generation processors, and the current x1 gen 10 uses 12th generation processors.
This unit appears to be identical to the one sold for $60 higher just 11 days ago. Lenovo Thinkpad X1 G6 Carbon Laptop
Is it?
I think the only difference is that the other one has a backlit keyboard, and this one does not.
Thanks dre206. I see that now.
The 256gb version is also available directly from Lenovo with 1 year warranty for a little more $437-ish
Out of stock.
Dang it, I already have far more laptops than I need … but I’ve always wanted an X1.
Maybe the lack of a backlit keyboard on this one will help me withstand the temptation.
Good find… The one from lenovo has only 8gb ram though.
for those wondering this is the same computer listed a few days ago at a higher price, and I did order it extremely happy with it and wanted to add that although the ad does not state it mine came as a touch screen and the keyboard was backlit cant beat that for the price
Have had a couple of Lenovos and the soldered RAM is what keeps me from going again. At 16GB, it might be a maybe, but needs touch and backlit keys. I’m spoiled now.
Nice! I’m looking forward to this replacing a clunky 10 year old e545. Would love if it showed up with that config, but also very happy with the specs as stated. Definitely seems like a great value. Hear almost nothing but good things about the x1 line.
Have u ever used this computer ? I have. This PC is no slouch. And so easy to repair.
Has anyone received theirs yet? Mine arrives tomorrow.
I received mine, and couldn’t be more pleased. Just like another person here, mine came with a backlit keyboard, touch screen, and an 8650 processor. Definitely glad I picked one up.
