    The eBay listing doesn't mention the "4G Celluler" that you've pasted above. Please can you confirm whether LTE is included?

      Hi yes LTE included.

      Seems this model is released with either 8GB or 16GB soldered to the board with no socket for upgrade:

          Would have been an ok deal if it had upgradable RAM, but not so much with 8GB soldered RAM.

    This is really good, I've got a ThinkPad with the 8250U, but not a touch screen or LTE.

    All you need is a second 8GB DIMM (I think 2400Mhz) & possibly upgrade the storage, not sure if it has a second M.2.

    Edit: Looks like it might be non upgradable RAM, that downgrades it to a portable web browser, but with LTE & the ThinkPad design it's still alright.

    Any X1 carbon with gen 8 Intel?

    • daft009 on 13/08/2022 - 02:25

      I've had a gen 8 Intel X1 carbon since new and still using it everyday.. easy 40-50hrs use every week since new

      • jjjia on 13/08/2022 - 06:52

        Agree they are excellent. Don’t need Yoga so prefer the lighter X1 carbon.

      • AussieMark on 13/08/2022 - 13:02

        dont upgrade. I sold my x1 carbon gen 6 and got the new x1 carbon yoga latest gen…. always stuck in high performance mode even i disable it and go to battery saver mode.

        80 degrees - 100 degrees at all times. Burning my legs and everything i put under the laptop.

        Bought 3 of the same model to test if it was a once off… it wasnt.

        i7 and intel Gen 12 is no good

    • VFM on 13/08/2022 - 00:58
      +10

      Different kettle of fish even if you ignore the OS.

      X1 Yoga is a premium niche product because it includes:
      - Touch screen (built in stylus)
      - Convertible into a tablet mode
      - well rated for dust and water resistance
      - upgradeable storage (SSD and MicroSD)
      - HDMI, USB-A, USB-C and SD card ports
      - 1.3 kg ("ultralight" for a Windows Laptop)

      Worth the original price (above 2k) if you like these features. e.g. Uni student who goes from class to class and needs to type, write notes and sketch diagrams. Or corporate managers who need to move around a lot.

      Water resistance is way underrated until a cup of liquid spills and splashes nearby. The more mobile the owner is, the higher the risks of splashes nearby.

      If these are not relevant features, you probably want something else. Plenty of other options for more grunt or lower prices.

    • lilchonk on 13/08/2022 - 05:19

      Youre kinda compaing apples to oranges and it depends on what you use your PC for. Are you a musician with expectancy on musical software? then mac is the way to go for example.

    • ihfree on 13/08/2022 - 08:40
      +3

      A better question is what do you intend on doing with the laptop?

      The other reply already covers the X1 pretty well.

      For basic home use, this would be fine and offer much better value than the M1.

      The M1 MBA has:

      • faster processor
      • fanless
      • better screen(brighter, colour)
      • better battery life
      • Integration with other Apple products (eg, I use my iPad as a second screen on occasion)
      • Support

      You'll probably require a usb-c hub to connect it to anything else as it only has two usb-c ports.

      I think sleep is better implemented on MacOS. I leave mine on all the time and charge it about once a week. I've never been able to do that on my previous windows laptops.

      Being completely silent is also great and reduced maintenance.

      I've also found MacOS to be better OOTB, require less configuration and be generally more stable. One downside I've found is that free software isn't as good as on windows.

          for the price, it's a good laptop I think. However, it's 2022 now and better display as well as better camera expected

      No? The brand new $3000 top of the line Thinkpads use the same exact design and are well respect for being rugged/good quality and fast. The specs/price on these deals is pretty good. If you need a laptop to do anything besides gaming/intensive stuff they will be just as good as much pricier stuff.

      • GhatT on 13/08/2022 - 00:32

        Nobody buys the latest $3000 top of the line thinkpads. It's not a brand that focuses on being rugged anymore, and now tries to compete with macbooks for some reason

        • Ozsaver88 on 13/08/2022 - 06:14

          Re: "Nobody buys the latest $3000 top of the line thinkpads." Wow that is not just a statement but a revelation about yourself!! Read again.

        • ripesashimi on 13/08/2022 - 15:56

          Agree with the competing with MacBook. Some of the ThinkPad lines feel super flimsy.

          Disagree that the nobody buys them. ThinkPad sales are pretty good.

    • Dvbargain on 13/08/2022 - 08:10

    Does anyone have feedback on how user friendly they are or ergonomic for children? Wondered if the red thing in centre of keyboard or the trackpad buttons being upside down create a learning curve.

      Keyboard is great, but they do switch the control and fn keys on the bottom left which can be annoying if you're not used to it. The mouse pad itself is clickable. Kids will pick it up.

          The bios in your work laptop locked? If not you can switch them around there.

        • daft009 on 13/08/2022 - 09:01

          You can also switch it around using the vantage app

  • Ametric on 13/08/2022 - 08:26

    This is a fantastic laptop, we are still using the previous gen (i5 gen 7) of the listed model at work (some of them are working 5 years), and only now are switching to the latest model. We have them leased, so these might be the ones where lease is ended up.

    I love to have plenty of open tabs and applications, where it reaches regularly 100% memory and CPU usage, but it still does the job well, including connection to two screens and even handling AutoCAD when required.

    It is very light and rigid, with good battery life.

    Also as it has the limited number of ports, a dock or a dongle with a few extra ports are recommended.

    How does this compare to the T580 / T480S deal? https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/715664

    Both are touchscreen but have different size RAM and CPU.

    • FiscalSleuth on 13/08/2022 - 11:03
      +2

      Very similar performance.
      I own and use the T580 daily for 3 years now, from new. Great machine and can't fault it still today, slightest gripe is the older Thunderbolt port. At that price it was a steal.
      The T480S was also an awesome deal, I grabbed a couple of the T490S and they have been amazing, they keep pace with office use.
      Can't really go wrong at this price point. Just always be careful of the model having soldered or only 1 ram slot, everything else is upgradable.
      This is the only reason I am not buying this deal. If it was 16Gb, I'd grab 2 machines.

    • ihfree on 13/08/2022 - 11:16

    Just got mine. Well packed, but the unit itself looks like somebody repeatedly played football with it - covered in scratches and scuffs and the mousepad almost worn through, not to mention the shine of years of use on the keys.

    • AussieMark on 17/08/2022 - 15:38

      • kaccatu on 18/08/2022 - 11:15

        I agree but the general sellers's approach would be to sell them all to gain benefits disregard of the condition of the products. Consumers do expect usable used products in good condition but its not worth fighting for legal actions when the product is under $500. I'm returning mine.

    I received the laptop yesterday, overall not too bad, but the battery cycle is 162, the capacity is around 90%. and there are lots of marks on the screen from the keyboard. I can understand this condition based on its age.
    However there is one critical issue regarding the fingerprint reader. It's listed in the ebay description, but actually, I don't see it in BIOS and the device manager from Windows.
    Probably damaged or missing part??? Anyone has the same issue here?

    • MarketingMetroCom @ metrocom on 17/08/2022 - 22:20

      Hi mate it's our mistake that didn't make the description right. This model doesn't seems to have the finger print module. Please contact me thru ebay, I will make a partial refund based on that if this function is not necessary for you. Apologies.
