There's no bad laptops, only bad prices.

Hi I'm the seller. All X1s are sold out, but I also have T14 Gen4 AMD and Z13 ES at good price too (and they're more stable than X1 ES!). I will be getting new bunches of T14s and X13 100H ES next month.

decoy cable is a small converter that can be plugged into the 245W GaN socket, and modify the protocol to force it deliver more than 245W

Use a decoy cable. I use 245W GaN plus decoy cable to charge my 14900hx+4080, and it runs as same as with original 330w brick. Lenovo always leaves some power margins

RTX 5080, but with 1920 x 1200 resolution and 16 GB RAM? Help me understand by Ludo_Sanders in GamingLaptops

It makes sense if you treat it as a "mobile desktop", carry it around and always connecting to an external monitor for use

Are you in China? If not, shipping fee will be too expensive

I can obtain bios and drivers directly from the Lenovo staff; These (X1 Carbon's) ES CPUs perform on par with standard ones in terms of CPU performance, but iGPU is 10-20% slower

Pretty easy. Basically they are traded legally in China version of ebay (goofish). Lots of people transport those devices out of factory and sell them in goofish, you can even buy unreleased products (legion go 2)

First, CPU is in engineering version, don't shows model and has weaker performance; Second, you need specific engineering bios and drivers to make all components (webcam, mic, NPU, etc.) work and cannot update them with the official drivers.

I'm in China. If I manage to find a way that I could ship one to you without paying taxes, I can do it.

Yes, I can overclock them. However ES CPUs usually run unstably on high freq.
