Sure, see the $750 MacBook Air. Any other questions? This isn't a bad device, but it's aged like mayonnaise in the Arizona sun. It should be $450 tops.
Well…other than the fact that the $750 Air isn't convertible, and only has half the RAM and half the SSD space, and the SSD can't even be upgraded, and it still costs $120 more…yeah, totally the same.

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.
I had this and sold it. I have the same gen X1 Carbon, and figured this would be an upgrade. On paper they are almost identical, with the Yoga being a 2in1 and slightly heavier.

In person the Yoga felt MUCH heavier. I also hated the aluminum finish as a thinkpad user. The whole laptop was almost "slippery" it was so smooth. Screen was very nice though.

Ultimately I sold it and am still on my X1 Carbon 9th gen.

If I were you I'd eye a deal on a X1 carbon, or extreme if you need a bigger screen and a dgpu. Or even something else completely with the 7840U CPU.

r/thinkpadsforsale is a good subreddit where you can find good deals on pretty new thinkpads.

Lenovo likes to play the pricing game by bloat their listing prices, always a wonder, though many time good laptops.

The CPU can be 2x as fast as the your old machine. Would maybe cut your hangs in half.

Nowadays other machines offer even more performance with less energy this this one. Those machines are currently not at this price point.

It is somewhat of a you get what you pay for situation as far as performance is concerned.

Lol. You are funny indeed.
1. The $750 m1 Macbook air came out in 2020. This came out in 2021. So if you think this is old...
2. The $750 Macbook air is 8gb, this is 16gb.
3. The Macbook is 256gb ssd (non-upgradeable). This is 512gb.
4. When I touch the screen on the macbook air, nothing happens. This is a touchscreen.
5. When i try to fold the screen 360 degrees on the macbook, it will break (yes, i am that strong). This is a 2 in 1 that will fold into tablet mode.
6. And last but not least, when I try to run a program that can only run on Windows, well you get the point.
7. Oh and this is cheaper.

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.
Funny how there are still thousands if not millions of people running laptops as far back as 6th gen processor that doesn't fell like "molasses". I am one of them.
Exaggerate much?

For the desired target audience of this laptop, the processor is literally the least of the bottleneck for performance.

I still have the 2nd i7 Thinkpad that running fine, but it doesn't mean I want to buy a 2nd gen laptop again.

This laptop is probably fine for Juniors/Seniors in high school but definitely not for professional.

Professional what? Doctors and lawyers who needs to check email and open office docs?

Like the other user asked, "professional what"?
Do you even understand the purpose of a 3:2 to begin with? It's meant for productivity; spreadsheets, PDFs, word documents, notes taking, etc. Nobody is buying this to watch movies on it with huge black bars (which obviously you can but it's secondary) and nor is this meant for photo editing or gaming, even though it can still do a bit of the former.

For any sort of the aforementioned productivity, this processor is absolutely fine. And not for professionals? Lool. Doctors and any other medical professional read PDFs (medical articles) way more than high school people, I'd know coz I do that. Same goes for professionals who make long spreadsheets.
