I have an X1 gen 6 and I love it. Keyboard keys don't have the nice click to them like a mac or surface, it's more of a mushy feel. However thinkpads do have pgup, pgdn, home and end buttons which is a big plus if you learnt to type on a pc desktop.

-Recent X1s have switched to a higher TDP Intel processor (p instead of u series?), so I imagine performance has improved at the expense of more fan noise.

- I went with the matt 2k screen, which doesn't have the brightness of a macbook screen.

Thinkpads are often up to 30% off on lenovos website, but it seems that they don't discount the configurable options any more, which rules out getting a good price for a 32GB config.

Just to clarify here, I got a 32GB model at 51% off (that "sale" is now at 49%).

That's cool. Is that for an X1 Carbon or something else?
Yep, for the 10th gen X1 Carbon
