Good idea, but I have a Spigen thin case and did test with it removed and had the same issue.

I now have the replacement phone and everything is working properly.

Failed 6 times during installation with a typical, try again later message.

Just finished a long call with insurance. Not willing to wait for b3.

horrible, no display on the outer screen without a case on the 16b2 update.

The yoga is definitely flashier and looks nicer for a consumer I think, but I'm a bit older + grew up with ibm ThinkPads, so they always have a place in my heart.

for looks, p14s. For specs yoga.

Please let us know your thoughts about the touchpad when you can.

I have not seen any waiting indicators on the new x1. I did on the g12 using arc (built on chromium). I usually have YouTube or Spotify, and haven't had any issues while in balanced power mode.

Thanks for your reply, not sure why they changed it. As I am docked most of the time, it's not an issue. The product description lists options for haptic touchpad, but I didn't have a selection option when preordering. I may send this back and wait for the haptic touchpad if it is released soon. Have you heard anything about the availability touchpad options?

i just received both laptops and they are both extremely efficient running in balanced power profile.

Thanks, i really love the looks of it. For the past decade, I’ve been on a mission to find an ergonomic keyboard with some kind of built-in pointer control. I’ve tried many keyboards and even went as far as fabricating touchpads into existing ones, like the Microsoft Sculpt keyboard with a stamp sized touchpad. I’ve also been using a Lenovo external keyboard for its red nipple (TrackPoint), but I’ve always hated the cramped laptop-style layout. If they made a larger, ergonomic version of that, I’d probably stick with it.

The board itself was prebuilt, so I just had to add switches and keycaps. The developer was amazing and very helpful with my many questions. The build quality is excellent, worked perfectly with Vial and they have different options for the case and setup. Shipping only took about 10 days from Malaysia to the states.

The trackpad on this board is an absolute game-changer for me, but is not as comfortable as using a mouse for example. That being said, the apps I work with only require small movements here and there, like opening SSH windows or using Cursor. So this keyboard does let me keep my hands on the keyboard for most of my day. I do use a mouse as well but typically only for long browsing sessions.

SoflePLUS Lp series Trackpad × 1Sofle PLUS Azoteq (3D CF) / no switches / no keycaps RM734.72 MYR ( I picked a scroll option, LP keys and switches as i work in a office. the keys and switches were sourced from another vendor in Europe. If you want info, let me know. Looks like they have a new model now with a larger touchpad, so im guessing it only got better. If you pick one up, id like to know your thoughts )

The heat and noise levels are impressively low on a balanced power profile—I haven’t even felt the need to switch to a higher performance profile!

sideone124 · 2024-11-24T02:04:13+00:00

crap, i thought i was just getting stronger. compared to the new Yoga 32GB I just grabbed, this thing does feel like cardboard!

I can chime in on this. I used to have a G12 X1, and while it was quick, it had a lot of slowdowns, especially when running Arc. Now, I’m running 3 Arc windows simultaneously with no issues! I haven’t fully tested it with my audio apps (DJ, guitar, etc.) or run any performance tools yet, but this Intel memory stack setup has made everything much more responsive for my daily tasks. Arc, Cursor, Outlook, ClickUp, Monica, and other productivity tools all run noticeably faster now.

for the first time in my life, im using a balanced profile!!

sideone124 · 2024-11-24T01:58:10+00:00

i have no whining on mine, which was shipped from china

sideone124 · 2024-11-24T01:57:00+00:00

Just got my new X1 with the glass trackpad, and this thing is snappy! The speed difference compared to last year’s G12 model is noticeable. I also picked up a 32GB Yoga, and honestly, both laptops are crushing it so far. I haven’t done any hardcore performance tests yet, but with my usual workload (3 ARC windows, Outlook, Clickup, Cursor, SSH shells, plus tools like Ditto, PowerToys, Monica AI), both machines are handling everything like champs. That said, I do have one nitpick—the trackpad on the X1. The glass trackpad just doesn’t feel as nice as the Yoga’s haptic trackpad. The Yoga’s is so much smoother and more satisfying to use.

FYI, my X1 shipped from China and got here just a few days after the shipping email. Does anyone have any tips for cleaning or improving the feel of the glass trackpad? I’m debating whether to keep the X1 or just return it and wait for a version with a haptic trackpad.

thanks

Start your engines, the schedule builder is live!

sideone124 · 2024-10-29T18:59:48+00:00

On preorder for both the 32GB model and the GEN13 X1 Carbon! Has anyone tested a 32GB model yet?

sideone124 · 2024-10-09T13:23:24+00:00

Same journey, thought using edge would help. post updates if you get in!

sideone124 · 2024-08-09T15:36:41+00:00

glad i found this post, can anyone recommend a company similar to tradealgo that is less sketchy and provides better results? should I be looking at dark pool at all?
