> price up by £500 for no reason

The reason is that it's an "extreme" model. It has a better processor and way better graphics card. You can also still get this year's "non-extreme" X1 Carbon, the 6th generation. That's still the same price.

no i mean the X1 extreme was originally £1384 for the base model, then a few weeks ago they increased the price to £1859 for no reason at all (in the US, canada and japan its still around £1400)
