Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon (5th Gen) Ultrabook 14" FHD Laptop Computer, Intel Core i5-6300, 8GB RAM 256GB SSD, Type-C, HDMI, Windows 10 Pro (Renewed)

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 5th Generation is a fantastic laptop. The battery life is outstanding, easily lasting a full workday with moderate use. Its design is sleek and durable, maintaining that classic ThinkPad look that I love. The backlit keyboard feels sturdy and offers a great typing experience. I haven't had any issues with overheating, even after long hours of use. Plus, it's super lightweight and thin, making it perfect for carrying around. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and stylish laptop!P.S. If anyone is looking for an affordable android phone, check out the Motorola ThinkPhone, it's a collab between Motorola and Lenovo,and its just as amazing as their laptops at a fraction of the price.

EDIT: The bottom right of the screen has begun peeling up and needs to be pressed back into place regularly. This has brought my review down from 2/5 to 1/5. I've had this computer for three months, this is ridiculous.ORIGINAL 2/5 Star Review: It's really a shame because overall I do really like the Lenovo ThinkPad X1, it's light, the size I like for laptops, and the one that I was sent even has an i7 processor instead of the i5 processor that was advertised. It runs fairly well, and without any problems, it would be perfect for what I want it for (just having a computer to write on when I'm on the go that is more powerful than a chromebook).This one, however, has some problems that I suspect are due to a shoddy refurbishing process. For one, it has a difficult time connecting to Wi-Fi unless you get it close to the router (within 5 feet), no matter what router settings I change or what Wi-Fi settings I change in the laptop itself. I suspect there might be something wrong with the Wi-Fi card. No other devices in my home have any trouble connecting no matter where we are. It does stay connected once it's connected though... up and until you close the laptop for five minutes, and then the process begins again.The other major problem I'm having with it appears to be a battery problem. First of all, the battery capacity doesn't update as the laptop is charging or running off of it's battery, so if I boot it up and it's at 88%, it will stay 88% until it either dies or I plug it in. (It only updates when it's plugged in, not after charging or anything else.) Secondly, when the battery does inevitably die, since you're not being given any sort of information on how much battery life you have, the laptop will give you an error until you update the date & time. I think if I weren't computer savvy and were just someone who bought a computer, they would think that it was bricked at this point. Looking it up, that seems to be an indicator of a dead or failing CMOS battery. This is unacceptable, in my opinion.All and all, I'm really disappointed with this laptop, not because of the laptop itself because it's great, but because the refurbishing done on it seems like it was less than ideal.

I have a gen 2 x1 carbon that I got from work many years ago, so I know the machine. It's a hard laptop to beat at any price. My gen 1 cost $1700.00(ish) new... I got this gen 5 for $172.00!Condition: There are no noticeable scratches or dings on the machine. The surface has lost it's "luster" from human touch so you can tell its been used but nothing that I'd call "wear". Maybe a few buff/rub marks. Nothing that you are not going to be putting on the machine in the first year anyway. Keys all look and perform like new. There is a spot where a sticker was, that said "intel inside" or something to that effect (under where your left palm would rest on the machine), that has been worn off and you can see a bit of the outline from where it was placed. That is probably the biggest clue its been used.BE CAREFUL IF YOU NEED MORE RAM... the gen 5 DOES NOT HAVE EXPANSION SLOTS. The only way to upgrade is a new system board. DO NOT BUY IF YOU PLAN ON UPGRADING RAM!!!!! YOU CANNOT!!!I do a lot of video work and massive powerpoint / visio presentations and excel spreadsheets. Often I have multiple large apps and files open together and the 8 gig RAM holds up just fine. Based on my experience with other brand machines 8 gig does not seem to be adequate so don't let the RAM dissuade you unless you definitely know you need extensive multi-media capabilities. I assume if you need that much performance, you are savy enough to know this machines limitations by its specs.Laptop battery: I've never had a new laptop come even close to its claimed battery endurance, this one seems to be about what I'd expect. Tests by online resources with new gen 5 x1's, running 10 pro, state a duration of about 6 hours unless battery saver mode it on, then up to 13 hours. Mine ran 5.5 on battery (being used for battery draining video/media work) before I plugged it in. So BRAVO!There is a factory defect on the keyboard of all gen 5's that has nothing to do with the refurb. So don't open yours up and send it back thinking the keyboard is shot! The keyboard has mislabeled the $ and the ". They are reversed on the keyboard. There are many articles online to document this should you have an issue finding the location of the keys. You can order replacement keys from Lenovo if you really need to have clarity on which key does what. Another option, if you have the will, is to apply a fix that will change the programming to match the existing keyboard... For me the right solution was a bit of nail polish.Good luck to you on your purchase. I've had many refurbs... its the way to go! If there is a defect Amazon refurb will exchange for a new one so don't think its "to good to be true". This is a good buy.

Love my laptop. We were required to use Mac’s at work and I missed so much my Lenovo that I purchased this.

let's see if I get the correct one...otherwise,, works well running w10... until battery diesUpdate:Success, they sent the correct power cord/transformer!Gen 6 Thinkpad works great.
