I also love my X1 Carbon. Fantastic machine, and extremely affordable on the used market. The only reason I stopped using mine is because the BIOS is locked and I wanted to run Linux full time, and my model (gen 3) can't be reset like a lot of the other models (I can't remember what the process was). It's a great machine and after resale value, I spend ~$200 for two years of a solid machine, which I consider a win.

Are you saying you sold a two year old machine for $200 less than the price you paid for it when it was brand new? How is that possible? Even MacBook Pros don't have that good of resale value.

I think he probably got it used, used it for a couple years, then resold it for ~$200 less than he originally paid which is entirely believable.

Yeah, you're right, I didn't think about getting it used initially. That makes way more sense.
