Deal Details
1) Shop the VIP store [lenovo.com]
If needed, join Lenovo Rewards [lenovo.com] for free expedited shipping and $58 in rewards o this purchase
2) I suggest configuring with the 258V, 512GB, VRR OLED, and Haptic Touchpad
3) Add the 2-year premium warranty to kick in the $100 cart threshold bonus with code BUYMORELENOVO

Should come to $1929.50 before tax. Seems like a decent price on perhaps a great configuration of one of the best laptops out there. If 512GB storage is not enough, considering picking up 1TB Gen 5 SSD (or bigger) and cloning the existing Gen 4 drive as the Lenovo price for the upgrades kind of kills the deal. Best Buy has this one [bestbuy.com]for $99.

UPDATE: The price dropped about $20 so I updated the price.

Wow, I don't think I've seen anyone give you a $100 discount for upgrading to Linux from Windows.

At this price, just get a MacBook Pro. Even the processor is mid. You are paying a hefty premium for the build.

Given the MacBook Pro uses a completely different operating system, I don't really see these as interchangeable. As a lifelong Windows users of about 35 years, I tried to switch to the Mac OS about 15 years ago with a MacBook Air and just could not adjust.

Also, there are some people willing to pay a premium for what is arguably one of the best Windows Ultrabooks on the market. For those people, this may be a good deal.

I have a 7 year old Gen6 X1 Carbon that is still going strong, but I am looking to upgrade. I paid about $1500 at Costco in 2018. I wouldn't mind paying this for the current gen. Good deal OP.

Any idea if the SSD is upgradeable? I have 4TB that I bought to upgrade my current Gen6.

Actually, you can choose an IPS display* and upgrade to 3-year premier warranty and that configuration is $1915.25. You don't need to add the o-premier warranty either. If you drop down to the 1-year premier warranty, that configuration is $1770.51. I don't care for glossy OLED either, but the X1 seems to have a unique coating that make it anti-glare (matte-like perhaps).

*14" WUXGA (1920 x 1200), IPS, Anti-Glare, Touch, 100%sRGB, 500 nits, 60Hz, Low Power

It was different 15 years ago with that hardware/OS. If you switch from Windows to macs with current hardware—Mac Book Air or Mac Book Pro—likely you are not going back. I am also a long time Windows user, more than 30 years, but when I switched to the MacBook Pro M1 a few years ago from Windows i9, 64GB system, I felt day and night different. The Mac is more fluid from browsing to over all day to day experience. Now, I am taking to laptop / desktops only. Still keeping Android as the iPhone is not convinced me yet. I recently upgraded my home PC to Mac Mini M4 and my laptop to a 14" M4 pro with 24 GB, and I feel this will last for another 10 years without a single hiccup. Even though my previous Windows system was so powerful on paper, over a period of time, I could see it's getting slower and slower. My 4 year old mac has at least 50-60 open windows in Google chrome at any day, and I never felt it's slow at all.
