Great laptop, Linux suspend hard to get working

I've had Thinkpads for almost 20 years now, upgrading most recently from an X220. The X1 Carbon 6th Gen is much lighter and better than my previous laptop, and everything now works great. However, it took me basically 2 months to get suspend working under Linux following instructions on the Internet (partly because I'm busy, partly because it's kind of hard). I understand that Lenovo is working on this issue and I hope that it will be resolved soon.
I do want to emphasize the weight. My core overnight travel kit used to weigh under 4kg with the X220. It's much less now with the X1, though I haven't weighed it yes. Really good for this use case.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought the carbon and have been using it for a week. It's an amazing laptop with a top-notch screen.
I was looking for a dependable, light, portable laptop with a very strong battery with enough charge so I could work all day without power interruption. After three days of use, my computer was lasting 3.5 hours on a charge, even after turning off Bluetooth and lowering the screen brightness. It was recommended that I return the computer for a new one which is what I have just done. Hope the new one will perform with a strong battery life when its received in a few weeks. If the new laptop performs with a strong battery, it will be a great product. Otherwise, it will be a great disappointment.

This laptop was purchased for field tech service work. The battery easily lasts all day and the matte 1080 display is sunlight readable. Very lightweight machine for those that don’t work at a desk and carry it a lot. One thing I don’t like is the function and left control keys are reversed and it takes some getting used to.

I bought this laptop almost a month ago and i love it. It’s very fast and very very light. If you need a new laptop, don’t think twice and go buy it.

I bought the X1 Carbon in the middle of May, after becoming frustrated with the limited used I was able to get from my 2017 MacBook Pro TouchBar model. I decided to get the upgraded screen (WELL worth it) and also the expanded memory to 16GB. The keyboard is simply fantastic to use and is a significant improvement over my previous MacBook Pro that I was using with its keys.
Installing Ubuntu was as simple as could be, only requiring a bootable USB disk. I had no problem having any of the features work for me right away, although I have heard problems from people before saying that they have trouble with the onboard camera or the fingerprint reader. I don't use the fingerprint sensor, so I have not bothered to look into if it is working or not, but I believe that this can be fixed if there is a problem.
If you are considering buying a machine for software development, look no further as this really is the ultimate machine to use. The only downsides are that the onboard speakers leave a little to be desired in terms of sound quality (they are laptop speakers, however) and that the matte black finish likes fingerprints!

I bought the fully loaded 2018 Carbon X1.
Great 500 NIT Screen, Light Weight 2.5 lbs, Fast CPU i7 8650, Quiet Fan, Lots of Storage (1TB), Great Battery, lasts me all day.
My only complaints are 1). That it is a FINGER PRINT magnet. 2). Expensive
With Respect to: Finger Print. It actually really bothers me and I have to clean it once a day at least, otherwise the pad and where you rest your palms of your hand looks greasy. Very annoying.
But other than that a great machine,

it actually did.
Dear Lenovo, please provide an option to be able to purchase ThinkPads without Windows OS preinstalled - extra 200 off the price would make this product much more competitive price wise.
Thanks

This is a truly sleek laptop. The new keyboard compared to the Gen 2 is much better and having 3 mechanical buttons makes things much more efficient. It is fast, powerful and handles every application while keeping long battery-life.
The hesitation between this and the T480s is real though since that one can have discreet graphics but weighs in a 200g more. The only truly missing thing from the X1 Gen 6 is an SDXC card slot which the T480s has, so it's features vs weight and is a tough choice.
The X1 Gen 6 boots very quickly and is ready to use at a moment's notice1
