"as well as 2 other type C ports" ought to read "as well as 2 other type-A ports"

Here's an idea. Release a Ryzen version, it's what people want.

Hm, a choice between slow & less secure Intel CPU with 16GB LPDDR3 but good high resolution screens, and AMD CPU with up to 48GB DDR4 (16GB soldered + 1x slot in T14 AMD) but pathetic FHD screens - just like previous two update cycles. Guess we'll never get a business laptop from Lenovo that isn't gimped one way or another!

Weak machine for power applications. This machine is best suited to mobility with a larger than usual screen.

Lenovo is the biggest pile of trash you purchase. Absolute garbage company, build quality and internal equipment. They flaunt high specs and put the cheapest possible hardware that fails by itself. The laptop falls apart and the lid breaks even though you barely use it. Idk what kinda monkeys work there but never again

I had 2 Gen 6 Lenovo X1 Carbon and it's complete garbage. Both had intermittent touchpad issues and one had a funky screen issue that's still not resolved and Lenovo makes you jump through flaming hoops to try and do a warranty claim. It's very sad coming from older Lenovo ThinkPads. I'm actually using my old T440 way more than the Carbon at this stage because of random issues
