Both Gen 1 and Gen 3 AMD have been extremely stable with good battery life. The Gen 4 is new so it might take a few months for the kernel team to work out all of the bugs.

The X1 Gen 11 is a very premium machine but compared to the T series it's very expensive, and the CPU is underclocked.

Out of curiousity I set up a machine with max specs i7-1370p, 64GB RAM, 2.8K OLED; and the price came out to be $1685. Doesn't seem unreasonably expensive if you wait for a sale.

Fair enough, it's almost double that in the UK.
So buy a cheap ticket to the US to buy it and bring it back and it will still be less than double.
Assuming my time is worth nothing!
You can work out the cost of a day of your time and add it into the equation then.
