[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall very good, but some minor issues.
The biggest issue for me is that the battery gets quite hot when charging. The laptop is great and cool, even if I play some casual games on battery, but once it's plugged in, there's a bar spanning the entire width of the laptop, near the hinge, which I assume is the battery, that gets uncomfortably hot. It's even hot when the battery is fully charged. Just being plugged in keeps it hot and the fan periodically gets loud trying to cool something down. But again, on battery it's fine. My old t440s I could keep on my chest while lying down withot issue, this laptop, not really.
I forgot that I ordered the higher resolution display that doesn't have touch. I'm a little disappointed, as I find it easier to scroll, particularly on google maps, with touch rather than the mouse, but it's ok. I just wish there was an option for higher resolution with touch.
Finally, keyboards are very subjective and what some people like others don't. The keyboard I like the most is the Logitech K740 which I find so quiet and smooth. While some people absolutely love mechanical keyboards, I really do not, so keep that in mind. I find this laptop's keyboard "heavy" as the keys need more force than I'm used to overcome the initial resistance to start travelling, but once it starts, it bottoms out easily so I've never had a "half press". It also feels like the keys travel distance is long, but probably normal compared to most keyboards. I know my external keyboard has a short travel distance compared to most. Overall, I think I prefered my old laptop's keybaord, a Thinkpad T440s, but I always prefer my external Logitech K740 (I just hate the non-standard layout). The objective part of my keyboard review is that there are two keys which sometimes I press and it doesn't register. They are the left ctrl, mostly missing when I try to ctrl-click, and the backtick key which most people don't use, but I'm a software developer and it's a very important key when writing markdown.
Otherwise I'm very happy with this laptop and love how light it is. My work computer and old laptop feel so heavy in comparison.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the laptop one month ago, and it's so light and have a amazing perfomance, I can lauch any application or software I want, and no need to worry about no response condition.
But I can hear some Buzz when the CPU optimize the frequence.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a Lenovo Thinkpad from 2013 to 2018 that got used daily for all five years in a wet manufacturing environment. I never had a single problem with it, it always worked quickly and reliably to do anything I needed, often times running multiple databases at once. That computer was supplied by my company, and when I left the company, sadly the computer had to go with it. I now work for myself as a consultant and couldn't think of a better option for a durable, long lasting, high quality laptop than a Thinkpad. It just works, no matter what.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Despite being refurbished, the laptop was received in like new condition. My only qualm with this otherwise superior laptop is the quality of the audio (sub-par for any laptop, and particular sub-par at this price). Every other aspect of the X1C6 is absolutely premium and best in class.
