The current line up of X1 Carbons (the 8th gen) are absurdly priced! $2279 for a base model with an i5, low res screen and only 8gb of ram.

For that price you can get the highest end 13" macbook pro, 32gb of ram and 2TB of SSD. baffling

I think what you are seeing on Lenovos page are placeholder prices, the device isn't shipping.

Pricing was announced to start at $1499.

I think the price is too high especially as you can still buy gen 7 which came out last summer fully loaded with 4K screen, 16GB ram 1TB ssd for about 2K. 32GB ram nor 2TB ssd are an option.

The highest end 13" with 2TB of SSD and 32GB of ram actually costs 3000

Reducing it to a TB SSD and 16 Ram leaves it at 2200 for the mac.

Unlike Apple, where sales are infrequent and minor, the prices on Lenovo's site are much higher than you'll end up paying if you wait for a deal (even from Lenovo).

edit: My X1C gen7 with 1080p screen, 10th gen i7, 16GB ram and 256SSD was the equivalent of just under $1200 USD
