I haven't looked at the XPS too much. I like the looks of them but they aren't a 2 in 1. I don't need a 2 in 1 but they seem to have better hinges in general than a non-2 in 1.

But t I've never purchased a higher end prosumer or business class laptop. So it may be a moot point in that price range.

>>15hr battery

not on the 1440p screen, not even close, but if you want long battery life checkout the x260:

>With the 1080p screen, Lenovo's laptop lasted for 9 hours and 6 minutes on the Laptop Battery Test [...] However, with the more power-hungry, 2560 x 1440 panel, the X1 Carbon's battery life dropped to 7 hours and 57 minutes, which is about on par with 14-inch laptop category average (7:53) and only half an hour longer than the ThinkPad T460s (7:21) with touch screen we tested.

>[...]Shoppers who are trying to choose between ThinkPads should know that there are two heavier models with replaceable batteries: the ThinkPad T460 (non-S) lasted a full 13 hours and 12 minutes with its extended battery on-board, but tips the scales at 4.2 pounds.The ThinkPad X260, which has a 12.5-inch display, endured for a full 17 hours and 14 minutes, but weighs 3.6 pounds with the high-capacity battery it needs to last that long.

critics panned the x260 for being big and bulky with the larger battery which allowed it to have one of the best battery lifes of any laptop on the market, this is what's wrong with the tech industry

Seriously though, why an X220 over the 7510?

Lenovo:
Terrible support
Root kits built in
Build quality dropping each generation

Dell 7510:
Thunderbolt 3 port
USB-C port
NVME SSD
Vents out back so can be used on soft surfaces
Decent keyboard.
IPS display

So what if it doesn't have kabylake, the price point is reasonable at the moment. 1080 is fine, 1440 is nice but unncessary.

It always boggles my mind that companies don't understand that there can be more than one niche.

A Macbook is great for a lot of people, but a modular ThinkPad, like they had before, appeals to tinkerers, power users, and business users with specific needs.

A second-rate Macbook appeals to nobody.

>It always boggles my mind that companies don't understand that there can be more than one niche.
they're too afraid that if they don't jump the bandwagon on the latest fashion trend they will be labeled as "behind the times"

Therefore marketing decides to forgo all the engineering logic that makes a product great and instead makes a product that reflects the latest fads.

This is what happened with Gookovo. It's also part of the Chink nature to act in this copy cat manner instead of having a product with defining characteristics that maintains dignity.

>Own a gaming laptop
>Perfectly happy with it
Fight me /g/, this thing is better than all the fucking thinkpads I went thru.

Gets a decent 5-6 hours of normal use off charge, full charges in about an hour, can run a 4k display like a champ and most games at 4k high~ultra and still hit 60fps in many of my games.

Oh, it's also a fucking champ in 3d suites. Why do you fuckers hate these again?

Do you want a vga port too? What about a disc bay with integrated disquette reader? Serial port anyone?

It would be nice for it to have a serial port

Yeah that's with the 1080p version at lowest brightness and typing on notepad.exe

Assuming lenovo is shilling the battery life like they do all the time, it'll probably get similar life to what the 1440p t460s got. Enjoy 5.5 hours of web browsing at half brightness.

There's a growing number of people butthurt over apple's recent moves that are looking for an alternative

new chinkpad might be angling for that market somewhat

Wired ethernet port is actually useful right now. VGA is becoming uncommon on monitors, projectors and TVs, serial ports have a very few use cases and disquettes are dead.

>>nonshit keyboard
Great!
they finally got some sense and moved back to the old one!
>looks at picture
>looks at my X1 I'm currently typing on (and hating it)
>pic related

The new keyboard sucks.
sure, it might be less shit than anything else on the market, but that does not make it good. Sure, goat shit is less awful smelling than dog shit, but in the end, it's still shit.

Also, it's way too thin. My X1 is less than a year old, and it's screen is more fucked up from pressure as it was on my X200 at the end of its 6year life with multiple drops.

the days of being able to buy a good laptop that is not old are long gone.

>>58391618

looks pretty shitty to me

also go take your marketing somewhere else

I can touch my clitmouse with two fingers at once. Is this the power of multitouch ?
>>
>>58392618
>What is wrong with the carbon keyboard?
When being compared to older Thinkpad keyboards, it's a shitty keyboard by every definition. No holes to drain liquid out of the keyboard if you spill something on it, doesn't feel like a desktop keyboard, chiclet keys, terrible layout, and so on. It's pretty much objectively shit in comparison.

But on the other hand, if you compare it to the keyboards on similar laptops that are on the market today, it's a nice keyboard. Very nice, even. Just not when you compare it to the legendary classic Thinkpad keyboards.
>>
>>58392618

They feel like is a huge rubber blob beneath it, no clear "click" feeling on it. Especially on the release of the key it feels awkward. They added more travel in the recent generations, but it just feels more mushy now.

I am not gonna argue that it is bad for everyone. But having owned a T420 before, the keyboard feels worse.

Also i am no big fan of chiclet keyboards, but these are probably the best feeling chiclet keys. Edges, size etc. But the key push is seriously bad.

As an Uni student who uses tiny desks a tiny form factor laptop like this or the xps 13 is a god send.
>>
>>58401068
You know i wish i could call you like the dirty gamer fag you are.
But you are right. There is no good power laptop in between. It's either macbook air clones or fisherprice toy laptops like yours.
And the fisherprice laptops can atleast be modified and spray painted or some fuck to make it better to your liking.

>>58397118
>2. Who the fuck cares? if screen quality is a priority to you, don't buy a thinkpad
My T450s has a decent IPS panel.
>>
>>58403655
The travel has stayed the same since before the T420 all the way up to the T460 don't listen to this retard.
>>
>>58403863
>X1 Carbon 2015:
>Based on our measurements, the X1 Carbon's backlit keyboard delivers 1.86 mm of travel, paired with an actuation force of 58 grams.

Sure thing you fucking moron.

It looks like the newer models still have drainage holes, the difference must be in the rate liquid can get through the cracks between the keys.

If one were to hypothetically replace the modern keyboard with a non-chicklet keyboard would this solve the problem?

>>58391870
Dell latitude keyboards are GOAT

>>58404524
They do not work as well, if you spill coffee or a drink on something post Tx20 it will most likely fry it.

I own a T530 with a burnt out ram slot because I spilled a small amount of coffee on it.
>>
>>58404631
;__; just bought a T530, anything else I should know?
>>
>>58405096
Don't spill shit on it.

The fan bearings will wear out and it will sound like there is an ant with a harley davidson driving around under your keyboard.
>>
>>58391618
>no dgpu
>no quad core option
>shit keyboard
>superfish
Just shoot yourself
>>
>>58405157
Well at least the fan is something I can easily replace.

Aside from not spilling shit, and maybe chink fan bearings I should be fine though r-right?
>>
>>58405234
Yeah this thing is a fucking beast, zero problems outside the fan bearings crapping the bed.

>>58405244
Thank god, OK. Thank you moon-rune anon

They came very close, but fucked it up to make sure "yoga" is the premium one

>no iris graphics option, for no reason (it's there in yoga), slower RAM
>no option for OLED (again, there in yoga)
>16:9 display (general woe)

Maybe you'll say, why not just pay and get the yoga then? well that has its own issues

>no matte display
>heavier, larger, thicker
>more expensive because of a bullshit gimmick touchscreen and flippability
>keyboard has less travel
>previous-gen design retrofitted with new innards, so the usb-c port used for charging is almost at the middle of the case
etc.

Lenovo came very, very close but some dumb marketing MBA told them to save the best stuff for the other model.

Anyone have experience with the Y-series keyboards?

Considering getting one as a replacement for my old 17"-or are you just happy to see me, laptop.
