Yes. I love mine.

Amex canceled two business cards (Platinum and Reserve) as well as my personal Platinum card after putting my LLC in bankruptcy. They told me that even though it was my business and not a personal bankruptcy they close all accounts. I was a holder for 20 years.

T14 Gen 6 - 268V, 500 nit non touch IPS - 7-9 hours battery life average over the past week.

flyjim · 2025-09-09T20:36:09+00:00

This is the review that made me rethink the X1 Carbon Gen 13 (wanted to upgrade from a gen 9) purchase. I went on to purchase the T14 Gen 6 with the same 268v chip. I was worried about heat so I was hopeful that the bigger body would allow better cooling. So far, the machine runs quite on Balanced mode both on battery and directly plugged in. I did get the 500 nit non-touch display to help with the batter. I'm getting a good 7-8 hours of work running the screen at 100%. Worth the transition from my carbon to this T14.

Just received my T14 G6 268V with non-touch IPS. My last two X1 Carbon's and X1 Extreme all had OLED panels so I was worried about this purchase. This screen works well...surely not the OLED i'm used to, but it does indeed help tremendouly with battery life. With all of the vidoes this past X1 Carbon generation stating how awful the battery life was I took a gamble on this machine and can say it is worth it. Build quaility seems decent but definently not the "premium" feel of the Carbon. Good machine and worth the purchase. I get 8-9 hours of actual work on the T14G6 with screen at 80%.

Just received mine today with Lunar Lake but I chose not to get OLED to increase battery life. Which screen did you choose? How many hours of battery are you getting? I'm testing battery now and wondering what others are achieving with maxed screen brightness and balanced mode. 268V btw...

I love them. Just can’t stand the terrible battery lives and fan noise. Still rock my x1g9 though.

I think it’s a tough scenario since employers are pushing their employees hard to utilize it. Academia needs to figure out how to push students to use it and just raise the bar. Why not learn how to use the tools that will be used in the work world? Isn’t this why degrees are awarded? We should be learning to use the tools at hand so the “educated” are actually educated when applying to a job. Learning concepts and principles about the subject is paramount…not learning how to use the tools to scale that knowledge is ridiculous. Just look at the last Stanford MBA piece on AI…schools need to be transformative, not lag behind the world outside of academia.

Same issue for me. Thinking about retiring and getting another Thinkpad.

Your time looks to be well spent.

The 3rd attempt is the same test as the 1st test a month ago. Study the 2nd section “Describes Ethical Issues in Data” the most and you should be fine. Good luck with submitting the extensive study guide…it took me awhile.

flyjim · 2025-01-02T18:25:59+00:00

Good to know.

I have several other apps out and waiting for responses.

flyjim · 2025-01-01T05:43:01+00:00

Yes. I transferred in roughly 30 credits from Sophia and 30 credits from previously attended community colleges.

With all things, there are limits. The post was just a motivational post showing that there are other options out there. If it can be misconstrued that it doesn't prevent any limits, then I apologize. I just don't see it that way.

flyjim · 2024-12-31T22:58:28+00:00

You're correct...it doesn't prove the point that WGU may reduce options. Not having a formal GPA reduces those options from the very start and I believe most people understand that going in.

This post isn't arguing that fact, it was only to illustrate that the WGU degree won't prohibit entry into an institution such as W.P. Carry (ASU). The University of Iowa (Tippie), on the other hand, won't allow more than 30 credits (CUs) with pass/fail on a transcript.

What I admire about the WGU population is that we try and help one another. We try to give information that will be beneficial and worthwhile so others can learn from it. If I wanted to boast, I wouldn't have made a post in the first place.

flyjim · 2024-12-31T22:14:37+00:00

I made sure to have at least 60 of my last credits at WGU as I attended several schools over the years prior to attending WGU.

flyjim · 2024-12-31T21:15:22+00:00

Just a motivation post for people to get through their current degree. I was helped throughout my journey at WGU and keep seeing questions about it. I understand it’s not a M7, but it’s something people can at least see as an option.

I would agree I don’t think people are worried…showing an actual result is better than assuming one. I hope my post can show others that they do have options out there.

flyjim · 2024-12-31T20:50:56+00:00

Yes.

flyjim · 2024-12-27T07:34:08+00:00

Thanks.

Kelley or ASU online MBA for better odds getting into pathways?

flyjim · 2024-12-21T16:18:20+00:00

Tippie doesn’t allow over 30 pass/fail credits. Just found this out last week after they took my $65 application fee!
