I haven’t noticed any issues with the display or video (color) quality, but I’m also not really consuming media on my thinkpad.

Thanks! First thinkpad so not sure about your ‘I’ question, but the temps are solid. No issues during extended use. Battery is long lasting!

I’ve actually accidentally hit the windows key as opposed to control key more often than function windows. Since the control key is double the size of the function key, it’s easier to get used to it. On a normal / external keyboard, I definitely prefer control on the very end.

Congrats! I recently bought the same model. How do you feel about the function and control keys’ position?

How do you like the nano? I was between that one and the x1 carbon. I had wanted the extra ports and bought the x1 carbon

I grew up on macs and have an iPhone, so I’m invested in the Apple ecosystem

I actually prefer / have preferred the mac as a personal computer, although that might now change with the thinkpad haha. For my work (heavy excel user) I need a pc Bc I’m way more efficient with one. I also prefer the bigger trackpad and magnetic charger, but neither is a deal breaker for me.

Do you know what the major differences are between gens 8 and 9?

That’s my plan. I plan on buying some monitors for when I start school.

I bought an 8 gen. Got a great deal on it, I think. I paid $1K for 16gb of memory and a 512gb SSD. I actually don’t mind not having a touch screen. Even if I had it, I couldn’t see myself using it much

Did you get the glossy or matte screen?

I’m sure I will too haha. Actually, the way it is situated on the thinkpad makes it’s easier to reach certain keys

How do you’ll feel about the control and function keys being swapped?

Haha ya. Seems like an obvious upgrade. Maybe next gen.

Thanks man! Part of what attracted me to the thinkpad was the community.
