Re: 2022 Thinkpads

I prefer my X1Y1 and X1Y4 keyboards compared to my classic 7row X40, X60s, X200t keyboards. No discussion here, and i am typing with them all the time. Concidering thickness: i understand where you come from, and i partly agree. I am more for a middle ground: i dont mind thicker if it brings good th...

Re: 2022 Thinkpads

on the line for a new machine in 2022 to replace my X1Yoga4 (which was graciously offered by Lenovo to replace a X1Y1 OLED). From reddit: New designs: C14 Gen 1 Chromebook L13 (Yoga) Gen 3 L14 Gen 3 L15 Gen 3 T14/P14s Gen 3 X13s Gen 1 Z13 Gen 1 Refreshes: E14 Gen 4 E15 Gen 4 X13 Gen 3 X13 Yoga Gen 3...

Re: 2021 Thinkpads

Ok, so i checked, and X1 Titanium is 1,15cm wide, while X1yoga5 is 1,52cm wide. I guess you cant go much thinner than 1,52cm thick with usb and hdmi (at least at the thickest). So i undersatnd why they removed it. However, using a X1 yoga4 to take notes (after a X1yoga1) on pdf document quite freque...

Re: 2021 Thinkpads

10 days to CES and still no more leaks? What about the X1 yoga titanium in 3:2? This one looked very promising, but we still have no news. Will thinkpads keep the 2USB-C+ 2USBA +full size Hdmi which make them both easy to use today and future proof (X1 Nano goes against that with only USB C, but one...

Re: Lenovo CES 2020

I thought it was a 2020 model. 13.5" is better than 14" if it is 3:2 instead of 16:9 (more pixel at the end). Compared to Carbon, if i understood well, it is a yoga like convertible, so it is definitely complementary. Compared with Yoga, well the difference may be in port (I hope not) and in screen ...

Sure, let the process go along. Manual recount everywhere where it makes sense (with close margin), check if dead people voted (e.g. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/12/politics/trump-campaign-georgia-dead-voters-fact-check/index.html), check maiden name voting, check weird glitch in reporting trump ...

Do you know what would solve the allegations of voter fraud? Requiring an ID to vote. Amen. For sure. I understand it depends on state: some requires it and others do not.

Re: 16:10 returns to ThinkPads: The X1 Nano

My point is that many people here havent actually tried to use the new keyboard (not so new now) for a while and try to adapt to it. They are scared, but they didnt try to adapt to it (fear of change, entropy, etc). I understand I was like that before changing. I was afraid about the keyboard feel/q...

Still broken keyboard layout and no AMD Ryzen option. But it is a good start to get rid of the 16:9 idiocy. Again, you are ranting without making much sense. I was a die hard classic thinkpad (X40:2005-2011, X60s:2011-2017). Since, i have a X1yoga (1st OLED, replaced by a 4th IPS after the early OL...

Re: 16:10 returns to ThinkPads: The X1 Nano

Just listened to the X1 days videocast.

Disapointed to not hear about the titanium.

X1 fold: nice engineering, but no thank you. The keyboard is a nice thought though.
X1 nano: best in class connectivity....well, have you looked at your other products?

So i am still waiting!

thanks for the news. IT looks good, if only it didnt have only 2 USB C. I know you can do everything with adaptors, but I really think it hurts usability.

X1 nano has been confirmed to be 16:10. But the mac-like port available (= almost none) makes me not want it.

16:10 is a great news, but why on earth would they do only 2 usb C ports?? full size hdmi is a must, at least 1 usb A is a must, mini jack is must! building something narrow is easy. Building something useful and quite narrow, that's really important. No need to make a XPS13 like laptop. Just make a...

usually, X1/yoga are annonced first, and T4/X3xx a bit later. I assume nothing different this year.
