Any coupons that you guys know of for the X1C (6th)? I was a little late (thought too much) and the 72FLASH coupon is gone.

What about student coupons, if my brother were to buy it, will he get discounts? What the max known discount for a student?

edit: the non-configurable CX1 6th has a non-backlit keyboard. It is quite important for me as I use the laptop in the dark sometimes. How easy is it to upgrade? Do I need to upgrade the whole KB or just add a few parts?

Actually the chat agent yesterday offered me 15% but the code is only good for 10 minutes and he would disable it. I took too much time "thinking", i told him to give me the code when i am ready. And now the chat agent service is offline due to the weekend

Will wait till monday I guess

Ok done. Gah, I feel like shit a bit after paying for big-ticket items.... Need to recoup and sell now soon to be unused laptops. Will create proper sales thread in garage sales, but I am selling these. How much do you reckon?

1. X1C 1st gen i5, 8gb
2. X240 i5, 8gb, 6 hour battery life
3. X220 i5, 4gb

Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, have a wondefully nice X1C~~~

They better arrive.............................. soon

1. Yeah, got SSD. Original SD 250GB
2. yeah, 160 gb ssd
3. Added SSD, 120gb.

I dont mind giving discounts, especially to students (since I am a rich professional now ). Will put them up on caro and

Didn't know the part numbers are generic. I never bought thinkpads first hand, all 6 (I have/had t420, t430, another x220) thinkpads have been 2nd hand

I see, but mine is non customized. Bought as the spec they showed. Got 15% discount, so I bought accidental warranty as well

Nope. As far as I can tell, non-customized version cannot add backlit. I hate it, almost bought the 480s due to this, when I customize the 480s to match the X1C6 but with the back lit, the price is the SAME.

I went with the X1C6 because I can change the backlit kb later, but I can't change the form factor of the 480s.

Mine is the one on the right, or the one you cannot customize. WEb price is RM5599. I applied my 15% off discount and got it for RM4750, cheaper than the FLASH72 sale coupon I think. Added accidental damage protection just for piss of mind (peace of mind)

But... i sell contracts. no merchandise. hahaha. Sure it should be easy to let go as long as I undercut the market. I dont mind too much

I have used the thinklight, didn't like it as much as the backlit. I guess personal preference

Sorry if this is dumb q. Is USB C = TB3? Can I charge my laptop with my phone USB C charger?

already expired. usable once. talk to sales agent Thomas Jefferson.

What kind of name is that? Does he think he is a Founding Father? At least pick a more believable name la hahahhaha

I imagine my phone charger that came with my phone wont do?

Guys! what is the best way to take care of the battery so it is long-lasting? Should I have lenovo vantage to keep it at 70%? Dont need the battery at 100% all the time until I need it (when stepping out of the office for the whole day)

Okay, then this is a reverse stupid question. Can I use these chargers to charge my USB C phones then? It would be awesome to be not having to bring the power brick with me in my bag, and just bring this PD thing to charge my laptop and phone

did you buy it directly from lenovo site?

I was thinking of getting the 480s too, and it had the same price as the carbon x1 when configured spec-to-spec. i dont care about the discrete graphics card and added the 512gb ssd instead (just like the non-confogurable x1) but more power to you I guess. you can add/change the SSD later on. but in the end I bought the x1 due to my consumer-facing nature of my job, got to look sleep and light.

Right. As for myself, the latop will be exclusively used for my business. it will, hopefully add value to my sales figure - right now I am on X1C 1st gen, the battery lasts for just 2 hours. 6 hour is good enough for me, I would be quite a bit more productive with a longer battery life, and lesser load (weight). I haven't held it, but at 1.16kg, that is lighter than my 1.35kg.

The performance of i5 8250u is fine for me, is so much better than the 3rd gen intel on my X1C 1st. To some it may look like I am pissing my money away - I could definitely get some Acer or Asus.. but when I considered that laptop is a package that I would be stuck with for a few years (I keep my stuff well, its been 5 to 6 years since the X1C 1st), and that I love to type - the X1C6 is just the right choice.

I type and do content marketing all the time, especially on this forum and FB. I type type type, everything else is secondary (good battery life is important too). I've been eyeing the X1C6 for a while, but the price has be somewhat exorbitant. At 4.75k, it was just GOOD. I couldn't customize it for this spec, but it had EVERYTHING I needed, except for the backlight-keyboard.

Nah, i dounbt i would need it that much. I am not a power user, dont game, dont do crap. Just want a responsive FB machine (hahahha). Nothing is worse than trying to get my job done quickly, and my PC is stuck loading. The i5 (wiuth boost) and SSD NVME should do the job opening a few excel sheets, loading sites and typing in peace.

Lets hope that is the case. If yes, Ive found the perfect companion for the next few years

The eGPU is the one in some Thinkpad docks? That thing is expensive. Since TB is a "standard", possible to get eGPU from other manufacturers?

OK shipped already. No-config Carbon X1.





I need to anticipate this.

To whom did you escalate this issue to? Customs? Shipping company? Lenovo?

And which channels, how do i contact them?

I have a few appointments tomorrow at 12:15 in KLCC, 3PM at the same place, and 830PM in Bukit Jalil.

Guess who will be rushing back to Cyberjaya to receive the laptop tomorrow at his office during peak hours? This guy!!!

Kudos to abang customs for their quick actions.

Inefficient but i dont want to leave the laptop in my office unattended tonight
