I did it guys. I just ordered my first ThinkPad
>X1 Carbon Gen 11
>i7-1355U
>No OS (I'll probably install Kali)
>32GB LPDDR5-6400MHz RAM
>1TB SSD M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 Performance TLC Opal
>14" WUXGA (1920x1200), IPS, Anti-Glare, Non-Touch, 100%sRGB, 400 nits, 60Hz, Low Power
>English (EU) keyboard layout
>3Y Premier Support Upgrade
>ThinkPad Professional 14-inch sleeve
<1976,24 euro dollars
I would have gone for a low capacity drive then just add my own 2TB.
But it sounds pretty good anyway you can increase storage later if you need it.
>buying chinkpad new
ain't gonna make it
troon begone
Vintage Thinkpads (~7-10 year old models) have donkey performance. Specs in OP are very nice. That CPU should be plenty swift, and that display panel is better than anything in vintage Thinkpads.
>i'll probably install kali
it ended before it begun
I want a rolling release distro which is based on Ubuntu so that I get all the needed drivers and stuff. I guess Rhino Linux could also be great.. anyway it's going to be a minimal install with i3 on top..
>gen 11 x1
>buying new
>kali
is this bait
Are you the homosexual that asked about the AMD variant a few days ago?
Yes, the T14s. I went with this instead. I even begged for a better discount from the lenovo chat lol
Why the intel variant? It's surely way less efficient.
Unfortunately there is no AMD X1 Carbon variant..
there is little difference between the X1 and the T14s why did you go for it anyways?
T14s probably has better ports but maybe worse screen iirc
I saw a side by side picture of X1 Carbon Gen 11 and T14s Gen 4 and the T14s was nearly twice as thick as the X1. Furthermore the guy commented how the X1 feels far more premium. So form over function..
Kali isn't meant to be installed on bare metal. I'd go with Debian or openSUSE
Chinkpads are not Thinkpads. You just bought a generic expensive laptop.

People are allowed to use and like ThinkPads, you're not morally superior because you're running a 15 year old laptop.
I have both an X60s and an M2 MacBook Air. Both are good machines with their own use cases.
I have
Z61p
T400
T400
T500
W500
X301
X201s
T420s
T430s
X230t
X230
W541
P1 G4
Guess which one I use most, the P1. You aren't cool, the x200 isn't rare of special, it's just slow. The z61p, x301 and x201s are all rarer and just as slow as your x200. The new ThinkPads are still some of the best laptops you can buy. I have a t15g for work and it's just as solid as my w500 and actually more solid than my w541.
>probably install Kali
ahahahah
>not picking a 3200x1800 screen
end yourself
1920x1200 is enough for a 14" display. I choose the longer battery life..
You got duped, that's a chinkpad.
