Lol I remember that Bank of England people still use Thinkpad, and some NY FED people also did/do. They surely care less about safety than you. Lol.
Yeah, cause government agencies never lost information. Just because some idiot don't care, doesn't mean you shouldn't. Don't follow the idiots.

If you are worries about any pre-installed software, just re-install the windows system or get a Linux.
You do realize that the BIOS controls a lot of stuff, and can in fact install software onto your computer, right?

Quote from RelaxedWalrus735 View quoted comment :
Your race or Chinese ethnicity does not naturally make you a Chinese computer manufacturer or safety expert.
No, but as a software engineer at a big fintech that you likely use, I do know.

Also, my ethnicity and experience with China and Vietnam does indeed mean I know how the CCP operate.

You can dismiss it now, but one day when it happens (and it will), you will be the idiot. Just hope you amount to a nobody and they won't target you even if they have your information.

Hi,

Just a reminder that this is a deal thread for a Lenovo product. If you don't like the merchant/brand, simply TD and move on to a thread you might like better. Using the deal thread to post negative comments/opinions having to do with China and/or the CCP is not the point of this platform.

While Lenovo does manufacture their products in China, they also have plants in the United States, India, Mexico, Brazil, and Japan. Let's move on. Thanks!

Yes. That's an important issue to point out.

I purchased a computer on Ebay, seller was Adorama with AMEX card that had Adorama offer. It didn't trigger the offer. I called AMEX and representative was nice enough to make an exception to manually apply the offer retrospectively.

So I would say it wouldn't work since the purchase has to be through Lenovo website directly as stated on offer terms. YMMV.

I moved from an XPS to a Thinkpad X1 and will never go back. If you need a ton of power for video editing etc, X1 is not for you. If you need a reliable machine that feels great and is built like a tank, don't let the 11th gen CPU scare you away. This thing can do everything you need it to short of heavy film editing and gaming. I'm over 3 years in on mine and it still feels new. Swap the SSD and this is a great deal.
I am still rocking a thinkpad x1 from 2015 and sure, the processing power is lacking after all these years but all the functions work just fine and the machine itself looks new, except the big bezels. It is one of the rare windows machines that will last like macbooks.
Would definitely jump on this if it wasn't up to my needs anymore.

I generally prefer ThinkPads to all other Windows laptops I've tried, particularly for the keyboard/TrackPoint and general feel of quality/no-nonsense design - but I've had two higher-end well-treated models and the fan went bad in both. I'm reluctant to be fooled thrice.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

I am a devoted thinkpad user for years. Main 2 that I use now are Thinkpad T14s when I need to be on the go and T580 with UHD screen when I am home. As many will tell you, the reason to choose thinkpad is build quality and the keyboard and trackpoint. I want to make sure any loyal thinkpadders who are considering this have read the notebook check review about the keyboard on this model. In my book unless you really are not strong enough to carry that extra very ounces of weight, go with the T14s or X1 carbon.

"The smaller chassis also results in a reduced keyboard size, which can be noticed at many spots: The upper row of function keys is slimmer (8 vs. 10 mm on the X1 Carbon), the regular letter keys are smaller (15x15 vs. 16x16 mm on the X1 Carbon) and some of the keys on the right side of the keyboard are even narrower at just 12 mm. The reason is the limited chassis width of the X1 Nano so we can understand this compromise. We also believe you will get used to it after a little adjustment period.

The bigger problem is the key travel. Lenovo has already reduced the key travel on the X1 Carbon from 1.8 mm to 1.5 mm two generations ago, which is definitely noticeable during typing. The new X1 Nano (and also the upcoming X1 Carbon G9 and X1 Yoga G6) only gets 1.35 mm key travel. This does not sound like a big difference, but it is clearly perceptible. The familiar rich feedback is gone and it is the worst ThinkPad keyboard you can get in terms of typing experience. Even entry-level models from the ThinkPad E and L-series have an advantage in this respect.

In isolation, the keyboard is not bad, because the key stroke is still very precise and there is no clattering. You also get used to the keyboard pretty quickly. We did use it to write some texts and it was okay, but the problem is when you go back to another ThinkPad (in our case a ThinkPad X1 Carbon G7) and you immediately notice that the quality of the new keyboard is worse. The trend towards slimmer devices seems to be unstoppable, but we believe Lenovo unnecessarily gives up a major strength of previous ThinkPad generations.

The keyboard of the X1 Nano is still better compared to the Fujitsu LifeBook or the MacBook Air, but the input devices of the Dell XPS 13 and the HP Elite Dragonfly are not worse. The ThinkPad X13 on the other hand has a better keyboard.

Lenovo uses two different suppliers for the keyboard. our review unit is equipped with the model from Chicony, but there is another version from Lite-On. At this point we cannot say if and how the two versions differ.

As per usual, the keyboard is spill-water resistant and equipped with a two-stage background illumination."

then in the verdict

"The much bigger issue is the keyboard. It is saller than usual and has reduced key travel. The keyboard is still good and offers a precise key stroke, but the typing experience is worse compared to any other ThinkPad. The keyboard used to be a highlight of a ThinkPad in the past, but this is not the case here. Maybe you will not even notice this if you come from another manufacturer, but long-term ThinkPad users will notice the difference immediately.

The X1 nano is still a very good business subnotebook if you can live with the keyboard in favor of a very light and compact device. If you want to purchase a ThinkPad because of the high keyboard quality, however, we recommend you should get a model from the T or X-series, which will probably get a 16:10 update this year as well."

I had one of these and loved everything about it except the battery life. It was so bad I thought mine was faulty and I had Lenovo replace it. Same bad battery life. It was the 11th gen so maybe the 12 is better. I returned it and bought an x1 carbon. The x1 carbon is already super light. The nano was comically light.

So tempted to purchase at this price but I say you have to go with 12th gen
