X1 Carbon 6 does not support Linux
on March 11, 2018
Posted by: LinuxUser
from San Francisco
Verified Purchase:Yes
Lenovo released the X1 Carbon 6 without ensuring proper support for Linux. The battery drains within hours during a system suspend on *all linux distros*. This is unacceptable for a Lenovo machine at this price level. To make matters worse, I ordered a matte screen and received a glossy one. Very unimpressed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

6Th Gen X1 Carbon and I'm Freakin Loving It!
on March 1, 2018
Posted by: Joe Perry
from Rhode Island
I couldn't wait for this to be released and a couple weeks after the release I decided I would purchase it. A week or two ago I started seeing the first reviews coming in and I thought to myself omg it can't possibly be as bad as everyone was saying! When I recieved my X1 I opened the box and pulled it out of the protective fabric and couldn't believe how light and small it was compared to my 4th gen X1 Carbon and my 2nd gen X1 Yoga! The new blacked out ThinkPad and X1 logos are gorgeous. And then I opened it and I could do it with one hand as long as I opened it slowly! (Love that!). I hit the power button but the battery was dead so I plugged it in, hit the button and It powered on. The screen is gorgeous and glossy (I perfer a glossy screen). To me the screen looks about the same as on my X1 Yoga with the OLED display but the HDR is supposed to be less of a drain on the battery. The keyboad is awesome with great key travel and smooth feel (Much better then my X1 Yoga and XPS 13) I went through the usual Windows 10 install which was very fast and got to the desktop. The first thing I did was Windows update and then Lenovo's update program, rebooted and started installing my ussual applications (Chrome, Firefox, Visual Studio Code, CCleaner, NodeJS, etc;). I experienced no lagging, no errors of any kind. Felt very responsive and never got very hot. I experienced no thottling at all but I also don't edit video so Im sure that may make a difference. Over all I'm exteremely saticfide with the laptop. I love it more then my XPS 13 9360. I've been using it daily mainly coding, surfing, YouTube & Udemy and have been getting between 8 and 10 hours with the screen at 50% brightness. Also the wifi has been great (No problems at all). The only complaints I would have would be the price be cause I can be a little frugal lol and the shipping! (I dont understand why they wouldn't offer a faster shipping method) Awesome thin, light weight ultra book with a big pair of cahoonas under the hood!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got my X1C6 today, I was worried when read many negative reviews and discussions about throttling, but this machine was one of a kind, exceptional, super light and powerful.
My model: I78650u - 512 SSD, 16 GB RAM

Perfect lightweight laptop with good performance
on February 21, 2018

This is my first laptop I bought from lenovo, and to be honest it was one of my best decisions so far.
The first thing I want to mention: It feels so good to switch from a 4.5lbs to a 2.5lbs laptop. This thing is paperthin and it's awesome to carry it around in a backpack to work/college.
The build quality is also really good and the 500 nits panel is blasting my mind, even though it can be really reflective in bright environments (as I expected but the brightness makes up for it, otherwise just go for the FHD/WQHD matt one).
I'm also really happy with the battery life. On windows I get around 8-10 hours with usual activities like browsing, programming etc. and on linux I get around 7-8 hours with the same activities (not tweaked). All with 40-50% brightness which is bright enough for my taste.
The one thing I cannot understand is the panic about the throttling cpu. The X1 outperforms similiar ultrabooks and I don't know why people expect a processor in an >ultrabook< to run with constant 4GHz. I never noticed any performance drops in my daily use and especially not when starting a browser like others said.Maybe there are some when you are doing some heavy compiling or rendering stuff, but that's not what this laptop is made for.
I agree that the TDP should be manageable by the user, but that can be fixed in the future by an update on lenovo's side.
If you want a thin, portable laptop with relatively good performance and a long battery life I can definetly recommend the new X1C6 after 1 week of using it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love this machine

I've had this laptop for about a week and I absolutely love it. Great battery (been getting 8+ hours), super portable (the main reason I bought it), and really powerful (I'm surprised at how much higher the 8650U scored on the CPU test at PassMark than the laptop I have with the 6700HQ). For me, this checked all of the boxes I wanted in an ultraportable laptop. I got the HDR screen which I have been really impressed with so far. I have an eGPU coming soon and I think that will turn it into a pretty portable competent gaming laptop as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

So far so good

If you are looking for ultra-light laptop, this is perfect. However, 6th gen is just normal update from the 5th gen. No so much change. Still, need time to see the throttling problem since it make noise when I was watching Youtube....Normal surfing online is ok.
