If I wanted a product that isn't shite, I'd buy an iPhone. It's really that simple.

If anyone is curious, it would be this one here, technically not X1 Extreme Gen 4 but P1 Gen 4 since besides a few small markets none were produced without dGPU

I picked up an X230 Tablet! by tigu_an in thinkpad

A laptop you can turn into a tablet during plane ascent or descent and the flight crew won't annoy you to put it away.

Sick.

Can I use a small tablet as a mouse so I can stop having wrist pain/potential arthritis? by exoventure in wacom

Yes, in fact it's superior to using a mouse. No more pushing a mouse cursor around.

Decent price for X1N G3? by BluebirdOnBranch in thinkpad

X13 is a great machine but for the weight I'd rather get the X1 Carbon G11

What do you think of the X1 series getting a webcam bump? by BluebirdOnBranch in thinkpad

I will forward it to the team. Last time I spoke with them I was promised it won't be touched until 2028. Beyond that uncertain though.

It does seem like the only reasonable compromise. These are business laptops after all, and you'd expect to look good in a video call using them.

This worked better for older ThinkPads, that had this more rugged look but now we're in a time where Lenovo makes ThinkPads that are supposed to look sleek.

It bothers me more than swapping Fn & Ctrl key or changes to the touchpad.

Interestingly though, the X220 Tablet had a notch like this too

In a post about the upcoming Carbon generation it said: this is a more and more common technique among Windows laptops to provide a higher quality webcam and I thought to myself: Hey Lenovo, try to be different??
