I got a P16s with 64GB RAM and 4K OLED for $1130. No way this is worth $3300 normally...is it just build quality for the extra dollars?

As for the differences, it's definitely not just build quality. The X1 Carbon is Lenovo's premium lightweight business ultrabook. They are wafer thin and super-lightweight yet extremely durable and reliable, and usually has higher quality CRI displays available than the comparable P series. The 1/2-pound difference vs something like the P14 may not sound like much, but hold the two in your hands and it's night and day. Whether that's worth it to you its an individual choice. My X1 Carbons have been the best laptops I've ever owned, but you don't buy an X1 Carbon for world class application performance. You buy it because it's a pleasure to carry and use.
If you do consider an X1 Carbon, I recommend avoiding the fastest processor and highest resolution display. The power-efficient "U" class i7 and the low-power display are outstanding enough, and with them you can get all-day battery life.
Disclosure: I have not used the 12th generation. My current X1 Carbon is 11th Generation.
Sadly, we are 8 months from BF

Too bad this didn't have a touch screen

Though they advertise this "Ultra" series as revolutionary and all, it's not. It's just their PR and Marketing team spewing BS.

There are only a handful of x86 ultraportables with decent battery life as it stands which makes no sense to me.
