That's interesting. The X1 Carbon range are almost perfectly compatible with Linux.

(I have had multiple over the years and have had zero issues)

The other models I can't say much about. But the yogas are not Linux compatible

The carbons are not upgradable and almost unrepairable. Just another landfill laptop

This was also my experience. Could never pull the trigger on the Carbon for this reason.

I bough a high-end X1 carbon because I wanted to keep it for a long time and I trusted Lenovo. While I loved it and was very satisfied, it turns out that the main board suddenly died after 2 years, and it was not repairable.

They do not provide any post-warranty support (even paid) and do not sell spare parts.

Now I'm back to a desktop PC that I built myself and can repair or upgrade however I want.
