Re: X1 Carbon 7th gen choice
I went ahead and ordered the X1. It will be interesting to see how it operates, I’m expecting to be surprised — hopefully positively!

Re: X1 Carbon 7th gen choice
Only applications that need more processing power and can take advantage of the extra cores will benefit from bumping up to a quad. There's not many of those on your list. I'm thinking it might be better to try the new batteries and see how that works. If it doesn't improve things sufficiently, I i...

Re: X1 Carbon 7th gen choice
Given my uses, how significant a difference would the X1 Carbon 7th gen make? I am pretty satisfied with my T460s, but would like something lighter weight and better battery life. But it’s a lot of money to spend for what be fairly modest differences. T460s has i5-6250U processor, 20GB RAM, 500GB SS...

Re: T460s, camera and windows 1903
I see the Camera section in Device Manager on my T460s as well in 1903. It is working as intended.
I hope the OP got his working in 1903.

Re: X1 Carbon 7th gen choice
I have been considering an upgrade to the new X1 Carbon for three reasons. One is battery life on the T460s that I have used for 3 1/2 years. After about a year or so, it decreased, and I started using it less. Replacement batteries were difficult to get. The second is the processor speed gains. The...

Re: X1 Carbon 7th gen choice
Yes, the RAM is the thing that concerns me. I never had too much RAM, presently with 20GB (an older Thinkpad that could accept more RAM). I will go with the 16GB, it seems more a better functional investment.

I am curious about the text size on the WQHD display compared to the FHD display. I have an older model FHD (T460s) and am pretty pleased with it, but if ordering the new laptop would rather have the higher resolution display for photographic work. Can someone give me an idea of how much smaller the...

Re: Upgrading with M.2 SSD drives

T460s non-touch screen vs touch screen
I was using a small tablet with keyboard for two weeks and so using the touch screen regularly.

I have held off from buying. The X220 is running pretty well, battery is relatively new and in good shape.
