Folks,
This is a super light laptop at around 2lbs. This is the reason for the premium pricing. If that doesn't matter to you, then there are much better deals out there. Any comments on this laptop or comparison with another laptop should have that in mind.
Looks like they lowered the price by another $20. I picked one up at 779. I love it. Good battery life, solid keyboard, ultra light, no issues so far. Screen gets pretty bright too. Antonline delivered fast, I want to say 2 business days.
Also, in before all of the "but this can't even game!" Comments. This is a SUPER light business laptop with more than eough power for most all business applications. Using mine for grad school to not add much of any more weight to my bag.
edit: thought I'd throw in my minor complaints: it's a fingerprint magnet for sure. But a quick wipedown with a cloth and it's fine. The materials are slightly soft(? if that's the right word to use) but feel super solid at the same time. Only other 'downside' (but I'm used to it from owning ThinkPads) is the Fn and Ctrl keys are swapped - but those can be easily swapped back in BIOS.
i bought it last time.
very solid machine, very light and great for traveling. it felt as if nothing is there, battery life is also pretty good.
that said, this machine only came with usb c ports, which i believe is a first for thinkpads? the SSD is also a 2242 size, it is unlikely you have one available. you could find 1T or 2T 2242 SSD but they cost more than 2280. it does take two sided nvme.

I'm really enjoying that 17" refurbished gram that I think was $560 a few weeks ago. Crazy that these 3lb and 2lb systems are so good at so little weight.
I have this same machine, although I think mine is the "Carbon" model and is a 10th gen i7. Has the 2 USB-C ports, nothing that a dock/hub doesn't immediately solve if you need the type A ports. This is a rock solid machine, weighs practically nothing, and has very solid performance with no real issues. I use it for work and I travel a lot with it. I paid $1100 about 2 years ago, and I think that if this model is anything like the one I have then it's a steal at this price.
The LG Grams use the same battery (and motherboard and heatpipes) whether the 14" or 16". It's literally cavernous inside the 16" and 17" chassis as the space is woefully underutilized. I know as I have two 16" LG Grams.
You just making that up? the specs show 14" having 72Wh while the 16" is 80Wh
How does that G series CPU compare to U? I don't game or do much of anything else heavy, mostly lots of web apps across a bunch of tabs. I prefer low weight and long battery life, it'd be nice to have a good display, though
Depends - just web browsing, doing email, some YouTube usage, about 6-8 hours. (actually, I just checked my usage as I've been on it at the hospital for family for the past few days and I'm getting 10 or more.)
Playing a light game (runescape) while multitasking with some videos and such, more like 4-5.
The Titanium Yoga is a 2-in1 convertible type laptop. Obviously the processor and RAM are the same so it'll be similiar performance. I'd favor the build quality of the X1 Nano, personally. If you NEED a touchscreen, the Yoga is an option but I've heard better opinions on HP and LG's high end convertibles.
One thing I didn't mention about my Nano is that is is a bit of a fingerprint magnet. But a quick wipedown with a microfiber and it's good as new. The materials feel soft yet durable at the same time so it's an okay trade off.

I have a T480 for work that I like a fair amount. You can swap the fn and ctrl keys in the lenovo software suite, no need to go into the bios if you're using windows.
I'd assume you'd need to if you're running some Linux distro.

Got the 14" LG gram for like $590 and it's the best laptop I've had. It replaced my max spec XPS 15 which easily retailed for >$2k
The gram is quieter, snappier, and I even game on it and never gets hot while running a 4k monitor attached
I've owned multiple XPS, Vostros and Yogas and the gram (for the bargain price I paid) is easily undefeated
What is your battery life experience with the Nano? TIA!
It uses a low voltage processor that still has enough grunt to get my office tasks done. I get significantly better battery life than when using my work laptop, which uses the full voltage processor of the same generation (I suspect the 4k screen on my work laptop also has a large impact on this)

You can get a nano with a touchscreen. It's just not this specific deal. They show up under the official Lenovo ebay account now and then. I have the T model, and it's great! Don't use the touchscreen very much, but it's there for some tasks. I'd hate to be touching my screen and have nothing happen when showing things to others
Anyway, just another solid modern thinkpad. It just works, and works very well.

I had to go down memory lane as I'm getting so old with the history of laptops I've had. For me the Gram is number two on my list. I had an old VAIO that was a 2lb 11" laptop with a DVD drive in it! It was quite a piece of hardware compared to what everyone else was putting out for the time. I've been one to say that a 5lb Legion Pro 5 isn't heavy compared to some of the bricks I used to carry around but I am sure getting spoiled by the Gram. To shave off another pound with a 14" Gram or this Nano...I'd have to double check every time I left to make sure I didn't forget it.
