[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned many laptops but the Lenovo laptops I currently have are the P2, X1 Carbon Gen 7, and now the X1 Nano.
The Good: I like a lot of desktop realestate and enjoy the new 2K screen; at small sizes 4K screens end up needing to be scaled thus wasting energy and losing some of the crispness when rendering text. The performance is blistering, the battery is very good, the charging is quick, the facial recognition and fingerprint unlock works quickly and consistently, and the build quality is great! Although I absolutely love this machine, if I only had one, I would choose an X1 Carbon because of the better ports and better keyboard.
The OK: It does seem to run a little bit hotter than the X1 Carbon, but I don't have another with an 11th gen Intel processor, so it isn't an apples to apples comparision. The keyboard feels very crisp for how shallow it is but I wouldn't consider it excellent, but it is better than any machine that I have used of its size.
The Bad: Port selection is very meager and not having a USB A means that you always need to have a dongle with you.
Should you buy it?: I bought the machine knowing already knowing the good, the ok and the bad and I absolutely love this machine. That being said, if I could only have one laptop, I would choose an X1 Carbon (unless I needed more power) because of the better ports and a world-class keyboard. I currently own 7 laptops, so I can chose them based on different circumstances and workflows that I am working on. If you really have to have the smallest machine that you can comfortably type on, has an excellent scree, good runtime, and excellent performance, go for the Nano!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super lightweight, powerful and sturdy machine.
If you pack with the maximum configuration and you don't need fancy graphic features, then this might be just a right portable yet powerful workstation especially if you're into software engineering.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The hardware is great. However, the presence detection in the BIOS isn't smart enough to handle clamshell mode (lid shut, external monitor), leaving an afternoon to tweak with registry settings, read online, find the BIOS settings to disable it, and then later update the firmware because the cmos battery wasn't behaving (which failed the first time and had to be recovered). An unfortunate rough spot in the total package that caused a lot of wasted time on my side.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 10/10 best laptop for personal dev and reading. Screen is great, keyboard is great, overall enjoy everything.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent laptop. Build quality is awesome. Difficult to find a 1 TB SSD M.2 drive single sided if someone decide to upgrade from 512 GB. Other than that this laptop is a excellent.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to use, fast and very light in weight so easy to transport. The screen is very clear and sharp.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Extremely lightweight. Reliable device. Quiet, no noise. I need to stick a Tile on to keep track of it. Only 4 stars because you have to buy the docking station to use other devices (monitor, mouse, etc.).
