This a amazing machine. My only wishlist is a better Webcam for the next gen. I hope Lenovo doesn't do any radical 'overhaul'. We Thinkpad users a pretty conservative lot and that's what I like about Thinkpad.
Agree its an amazing machine and still holds a great place in my heart for laptops, I don't expect this to change much what I hope for is FHD webcam and 16:10 display, I see that the new Lenovo X1 Nano has 16:10 display so I thinking they may not bring this over to the X1 Carbon =( just to create a better market for the new Nano for the time being.
Something to aim for but I can't be greedy yet, there so much I need to learn and improve to deserve those high subs. Thank you though it really does give me encouragement to continue making the videos for you all, Muhammad =).

Thank you एड्वर्ड कॅस्ट्रो I think I know what it is and will work on it, the background still pretty empty I do have plans for the shelves they are growing atm.
Great to hear your feedback on this Robert Jean, and it surprises everyone when people hold it in their hands it really light yet the mind thinks it has a bit of weight for it's size. أخبار التكنولوجيا Technology news which country do you live in as this laptop is different priced for each country.
@@trungpham-gx2yg ah okay well X1 Carbon can only do 16GB and not upgradable after that. So you will have to look into the P14s, T14 that can go up to 48GB, or go 15inch to the X1 Extreme for max 64GB. All these option you lose all the insane lightweight unfortunately.
@@BsianTech I already order the t14 amd version with r7 4750u 16gb ram and 512gb ssd . I think T seri is enough for student. It more afforable than the extreme and lighter than the P seri.
@@trungpham-gx2yg aye and the AMD is very good choice. I done the testing and filming of it just need to get around publishing the video of the T14 AMD. It would be the recommended version for sure.
I recently bought the macbook pro 14", and recently returned it. Its a very nice laptop but my trusty X1 Gen 8 (with which I use Linux) beat it out - lighter weight, tougher and that keyboard.
Which is a better laptop between Lenovo X1 Carbon and Lenovo X1 Yoga all with the following specs Core i7 8th gen 16GB RAM | 512GB SSD 14" touchscreen, backlit keyboard?
If you don't need the 2-in-1 or pen/digital stylus support I personally perfer the X1 Carbon as it has better speakers than the Yoga and also I perfer the Matte screen from the X1 Carbon (which can be touch screen still) over the glossy display in the Yoga.
@BsianDad Hi please what eGPUs(lowest to best) would you recommend for the hexacore (10710u) variant with 16G RAM? I know it's not a gaming laptop but I've seen some pretty good eGPU deals recently.
Hi Tansel Ali, if you need low latency as you might see I haven't include the latencymon test results as it seems all 10th Gen Intel has fail due to driver support we still waiting for Intel to fix this issue. I do run the latencymon test every laptop to check when they have fix it again. Else this would be fine for music production this computer I am sure.
I am sorry Sid, truth be told I haven't got enough traffic on my videos for Lenovo Canadian to approve me, one day it will happen =) thank you for asking and trying to support me, please don't delay to help me if you find a good price for this X1C-8Gen go for it.
You can do 1080p video editing but the laptop will start to struggle once you start applying video effects to playback in realtime as this laptop doesn't have a dedicated graphics.

When you pick this up in person you be surprised by it's weight =).

I've seen some other videos, but some of the observations like the power button, etc are all your own. Keep it up
I must say your lighting has gotten better. But something is missing in the background, not sure what though.
Thank you एड्वर्ड कॅस्ट्रो I think I know what it is and will work on it, the background still pretty empty I do have plans for the shelves they are growing atm.
I have one and I love it!

Awesome review thanks! Looks like one for my short list!
Thanks Mad Catter, its a long awaited one and I still love it this laptop.
720 cam is just good for me. Great series indeed and very detailed review
Great to hear @coyz4877, the X1 Carbon is indeed a fantastic series and really still hasn't let down.
Great review, thank you!
My dream laptop.
Look for the Gen 9 its better = if you can get it.
nice review. it sad that my major require a lot of ram. if not im going to buy this for sure
Hi Trung Pham, how much RAM do you require for your work?
@@BsianTech im freshman in cyber security major, so the minium should be about 16gb and upgrade later to 32gb

I have the same X1 gen 8 works very Mint and Kali as a Vmware only issue the wifi strength plays low to high
Why they have not upgrade the ddr3 ram to dd4
Hopefully it will be done in gen 9 with upgrade to Intel Evo processor.

Nice review
Thanks Arya finally found the time to slowly process all these review now, sorry for the lack of videos the last three weeks.

I want get it, but fuck it Singapore no have the fingerprint scanner features
Do you think it would be possible to do light music production on this machine?
Hi Tansel Ali, if you need low latency as you might see I haven't include the latencymon test results as it seems all 10th Gen Intel has fail due to driver support we still waiting for Intel to fix this issue. I do run the latencymon test every laptop to check when they have fix it again. Else this would be fine for music production this computer I am sure.
what about external eGPU? Can it Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 use it?
Yes since it has thunderbolt ports. It should also support some lenovo decks I think
X1 carbon gen8 or x13 gen2
No canadian affiliate link?

Is it ok for the video editing
You can do 1080p video editing but the laptop will start to struggle once you start applying video effects to playback in realtime as this laptop doesn't have a dedicated graphics.
Is the screen touch?
There is a touch screen version and there is non-touch version as well you will have to ask the reseller which version they selling.
It. Use ddr3
