This Intel Ultra 7 255U seems to be better than the 258V X1 Carbon Gen 13 deal. 255U seems to be newer processer with 12/14 cores/threads vs 8/8 and lower TDP, and probably longer battery life with IPS instead of OLED on other deal.

Hello Mr akhpp8395,

Full disclaimer I am an inbred, infirm, needy, handicapped child that was thrown away multiple times over, who lives in his grandmother's basement surviving on peas and rice six nights out of the week.

With that said I did an analysis of your comment with my AI researcher I call Roger (gpt 5.1)
And while it said that you were on to something with the efficiency and battery life of the 255U, It stated several times over that the OLED deal is a much better purchase because of
  • Arc graphics instead of purely integrated
  • 258v having 5 to 10% better performance overall
  • OLED screen being much nicer
  • The RAM on the OLED being 5% faster
It said the 255u would be better for traveling and in some edge cases.
But wanted to provide Rogers analysis before we took this any further.
I still thank you and I still love you Mr. akhpp8395

I think 258v is newer architecture than 255u, iGPU is also way better on 258v.
Could be wrong, need more expert confirmation.

V is lunar lake, u is arrow lake. U is less efficient and generally worse which is why they pair it with ips which Lenovo also views as generally worse. This is the cheapened version of the x1
