For only $30 more, you can get the one with the touchscreen and carbon fiber weave lid-pattern from the same seller. I have the non-touchscreen version of this laptop. Dont' care for the carbon weave pattern because I have that on my Dell Latitude 7000 series work-issued laptop - it honestly looks kind of tacky in person.

Guess you don't know ThinkPads are the highest quality of builds of just about any laptops. And they sell for usually 50% to 200% more than other laptops. Other brands have their top tier but again even most of those don't compare to ThinkPads.

Sorry, but I'd beg to differ. I have an X1 Carbon I bought from Lenovo on 10/22/2022. All the upgrade options. Best camera, best touchscreen, 5G cellular, the works. It's been problem after problem. I've had service techs out to my house twice to replace parts. Most recent of which was yesterday. [ibb.co] You can see the list of parts. Basically every dang thing in the laptop case short of the SSD and battery. It was boot looping. Splash screen appears, laptop shuts itself off, then reboots, splash screen, etc etc etc. I've also had several tiny bugs I've noticed that only happen rarely, so I cannot replicate it in front of a tech for proof. Display glitches that only last 1 second, twice gotten "Fan Error. Booting in limited resource mode", the 5G card just removes itself from the machine (network adapter disappears from machine entirely) only to return by itself 2-3mins later, and I'm sure more I just can't recall.

All in all, I wouldn't buy another. Way too many problems in the first several months. But I'll say that Lenovo tech support has been stellar. They overnight parts and the service tech is at my door that very next day.

Down to $599 from $2900? That is like 80% off. Must be a fantastic deal

For another 100 dollars, I'd rather have the Zenbook 14X.

Hopefully the deal comes back.

I have this laptop with I-7 processor and overall really like it. It's very sturdy for being so lightweight. You can slip it a briefcase or backpack and forget it's there. Battery life is pretty good as well. I would buy this again especially since the new processors have terrible battery life. I was also able to add Lenovo protection from the same eBay seller.

This is a great deal for Windows notebook. But if you don't care about the OS, Macbook Air M1 would be a better option in my opinion. Considering both were released similarly, M1 would hold the value longer.

You know, I was just thinking today: "Windows laptop threads never have enough Mac users."

So thanks for that.

Great FN deal. If it was 15.6" I'd be way tempted. Good seller too.

In this age and era a 15.6" is called a Dino size desktop.

X1 Nano Gen 1 should be as light as 1.99lbs with the non-touch display, not 2.14 lbs. the 2.14lb weight is for Gen 2. weight. I have this Gen 1 version and I've had no bios upgrade issues. Worked great till I spilled ice coffee over the keyboard. Actually it still worked even after that but I went and replaced the keyboard myself just in case. Still works great.

Apologies if I am mistaken of the weight of Gen 1 vs Gen 2. However, I doubt if anyone can tell the difference between 0.15 pounds. I think most people would agree they are both very very light for a laptop. Nonetheless, I think 2.14 lbs in a 14 inch laptop is more impressive than a 1.99 lbs 13" laptop.
