With apologies in advance for the lazy question, but can somebody explain the difference between all these new "X1" Thinkpads?

I'm thinking about replacing my X1 Carbon (4th Gen). It's the best laptop I've ever owned and is actually still great for most tasks after a remarkable 7 years (a cheap battery replacement is the only thing it's ever needed). I never use it for gaming, but when I occasionally want to work with RAW image and video files (which have gotten much bigger since 2016), the 6th generation i7 CPU and integrated graphics can "hang."

I'm not in a rush but I am keeping an eye out for a replacement and now I see X1 Carbon, X1 Titanium, X1 Extreme, X1 Nano... with prices ranging from $650 to $2100. My head is spinning.

The only downside I see to this laptop is the tiny battery. 44Wh is just not good in this day and age when an LG Gram 15 with the same weight has an 80Wh battery.

Right, good luck paying $2000-$3000 for that.

This is the epitome of ultrabook. ThinkPad Titanium is built like a tank and on top of that it's a Yoga too, so an amalgamation of two premium Lenovo lineups.

For what it's intended for, this processor is absolutely fine. The fact you're getting a ThinkPad + Yoga, new, with 16GB RAM, at this price is a treat in itself. How many other 3:2 QHD convertibles can you name? And at this price?

I take it that if I order from ebay, I can't get the Lenovo warranty. The only option appears to be 3rd party?

I am still using 4 years old X1 carbon Thinkpad one of the best ultrabooks, though it's really running fine, and battery life is still decent. I guess if someone doesn't want to spend $1.5K to $2K for the newest CPU, this is the best deal. Though I am not sure is this the same quality as the X1 carbon Thinkpad.
As someone else mentioned the battery is pretty small on this so it's a hard pass for me. Because the battery in my X1 carbon, which is 6th generation is 57Wh, this one has just 44Wh so not sure if this newer model can give good battery life even with a small battery.

Yeah it's still not worth that money. You probably paying all the money for the build quality and nothing else. It will slow as molasses.
Can you link us to a comparable product pls?

Not sure about Titanium but Extreme is like the big brother; usually with a dedicated graphic card and expandable memory and Nano is a smaller X1. I recently moved from a 3rd gen X1 to a 6th gen for the USB-C port for docks so I know where you're coming from. Loved my 3rd gen !

I have a 12th gen i7 with OLED (X1 Yoga Gen7), but battery life is pretty bad. Tried some tweaks like black background and limiting CPU to 99% but it is very sluggish. The bottom gets very hot too with fans running high. If I didn't need the pen, I'd probably go with X1 Carbon.

The USB-C PD charging doesn't work with some generic USB-C hub + PD type devices such as my urlhasbeenblocked 8-in-1 USB-C PD. This device worked well on my previous HP Elite x2 G4.

I still think this X1 Yoga is a great deal for those who likes the form factor.

maybe this older model runs nice and cool compared to more recent CPU... it's definitely nice to have a laptop that can manage its thermals without much concern, whereas many designs sacrifice thermal performance as an afterthought
