I bought this laptop two weeks ago, mainly use it for work. I installed Fedora on it, and the system runs almost flawlessly! The only issue for me is that the CPU makes coil whine which is noisy in a quiet environment. It is caused by the CPU power saving management which reduces the CPU frequency in idle time. I solved this problem by entering BIOS -> Config -> Power -> CPU Power Management and turned it off. Then in the same page I changed the Sleep State to Linux S3 to prevent CPU being active in sleep mode. Now everything is working fine!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine is incredible! So light and ergonomic. The speed is incredible without hardly any fan noise at all or heat when pushing it really hard. I can be streaming music while also working several large spreadsheets and word documents with no noticeable lag in anything! I have teamed it with the Lenovo Thunderbolt 4 dock to include extra drives/printers and external keyboard/mouse interface. The dock allows me to do all the office work, then unplug just one cable and take the power of the X1 mobile with me. I love it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although a sharp computer, I have had a disappointing experience. After having vested a lot of time customizing my new laptop, it prompted me to update the BIOS within the first week of receiving. It proceeded "successfully," but completely locked up. I had to send it back, which took several days. When I got it back, they had simply restored it to the factory setting eliminating all my customization! Otherwise, it is a fast machine. I am disappointed that there is not a function key for turning off the touch pad - especially since that is part of the reason I bought a ThinkPad with its red joystick.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like everything about it except the keyboard does not quite feel like the usual thinkpad. The keys are thinner.
