So I've talked a lot about searching for the perfect laptop, of having a lot of fun, trying to zero in on the ultimate laptop for me personally, based on what I do most of the time figuring out what's important to me, I've talked a lot about this model right here, the X one carbon from Lenovo and what I like about it, mostly starting with the keyboard.

For me, that's all the laptop is.

It's like a keyboard and a screen.

That's where it all starts.

Yeah, it's nice if it's a little bit more powerful.

It's nice if it somebody's form factor if it's light and all the rest of it.

But the reason I'm reaching for a laptop these days over some other devices tablet or a smartphone is because I want to type something a lot of the time, and I want a tactile kind of control.

I couldn't find another keyboard anywhere close to this one at that form factor right there, you get a look at it.

Look at this holds all the way up.

It's a big improvement over a lot of the chick lit style keyboards that exist in the world.

In my personal opinion, me personally, I came from Mac books many different eras off Mac books.

I own every single version up until the latest one.

I guess I kind of just accepted those keyboards.

Then when they started to fail, that's what motivated this change to go looking for the ultimate keyboard, which then led me to my picture of what the ultimate laptop would be.

But this think that this X one carbon on the top Once I determined that I really like this laptop, that it was gonna be my choice, my selection for the daily laptop I was like, I want to customize Oneto my exact specifications instead of this one.

And then that's where this box comes in right here.

So this model in front of me is an ex one carbon but customized to be the ultimate perfect laptop.

And you can see that identified here in this long list of customization.

So 1.9 gigahertz i seven he's got 16 gigs of Ram, which is the maximum for this particular laptop that that model over there was eight.

This one also has mobile antenna, so you can put a sim card in here and remain connected at all times.

Oh, also, this is a bit of an experiment.

This could be risky, but the model inside of here is a silver model.

It's gray in color, which is kind of anti thinkpad.

But one of the things that I didn't like so much about the matte black model is it does get smudgy against fingerprints on.

So I wanted to try out the silver version, which is kind of crazy, because they are putting out 1/7 generation of this laptop very shortly and is gonna have a carbon fiber weave.

And I think they're getting rid of this color.

So if I end up liking this color, it might not be for long the W qhd display, whereas the model that's sitting over there was just 10.

80 p.

Now, of course, my main curious nous at this point is relating to the color, since the standard matte black is like the legendary ThinkPad thing.

And I don't know, maybe I'll end up hating this.

Silver is a bit of a risk, especially on a custom face.

Also, I will say I got a coupon for this when I ordered this, so I actually got a fair amount of money off.

So if you do order, think path directly, even a custom one, there's typically some decent coupons floating around.

Think, I say like 500 bucks on this custom one.

So keep that in mind.

Unboxing experience.

I've done this before with the last one.

This is so cool.

See how it lifts up like that.

A big fan of that is such a cool presentation baked into the box.

It's like they knew they were going to be on on box therapy with this.

They didn't know that.

But anyhow, it's striking toe.

Have something with an industrial design like this that feels a solid.

Is this That's still this light like to put it in perspective, this is a 14 inch display, and it's half a pound lighter than the MacBook Air.

Oh, I like that color.

Okay, it's a darker than I expected it to be.

Almost space gray territory.

It's definitely not glossy, but it's also not Matt.

It's somewhere between the two.

So this is what happens on a matte finish is it gets a little smudgy.

You see the smudging nous right there.

This inevitably happens.

It's just part of the finish, and I get it is meant to be industrial like who cares?

But it's just something that happens with this particular texture and even more so when you open it up, see that right there.

The trackpad, the palm rests.

It's not a big deal.

I would happily keep using this laptop because otherwise, like it so much.

But when I saw this finish was like, Man, I really got to try that out.

So anyway, that's what I've gone for here.

Now, if you open it up, does it?

It is what it looks like on the inside.

So you still have the exact same black keyboard saying Key travel, Same kind of U shaped designed to each key.

Ah, I just I love the travel of these keys.

It's a happy place to be because I opted for the W qhd display.

It's still a matte finish, which is a big deal to me.

I really like that type of display.

I work in front of a window fairly frequently so but also because that you get the infrared sensor up top.

So this is gonna have windows.

Hello, face on lock.

Whereas the non custom config sort of base model X one carbon didn't have that.

So if you pick this configuration, you can unlock with your face, so keep that in mind.

And as you can tell, one of the trademarks of the ThinkPad Siri's the hinge goes all the way flat.

This is a fairly portable power break 65 watts.

Now I did a video on 1/3 party Power brick, a tiny little power break that I've been using with my other ex one Carbon, You go check out that video if you want.

If you're looking for something even more portable than this the available ports on this model So you have the type C connector, which is a thunderball poor but also works to charge the device.

There's this proprietary connector here which you can connected Ethernet adapter to kind of a weird connector.

I mean, it will give you gigabit Ethernet, but you do need that adapter cable.

Ah, the one beside there is actually another another thunderbolt connector.

You got your traditional USB in HD of my poor and can I just say, having come from a Mac book Pro.

Having a diversity of ports has been such a breath, a deep breath of fresh air because every so often have the interface with, for example, a card reader something like this, which uses the traditional USB or or some other peripheral a mouse.

And I don't need to use an adapter for that because of the traditional USB is on.

They're also having a full size H d M.

I comes in handy as well, and I just got used to not having those options or needing to use a hub with the mackerel.

Proto have it on.

A package is portable.

It's nice.

Diversity imports useful.

Get another us be on the other side as well.

And ah, headphone Jack, too.

So Law supports to choose from almost forgot on the back here.

Like I said, since I opted for the wireless antenna, I could just pop a SIM card in here and connect that to my data account and just be running wireless no matter where I am without the need for WiFi.

So that's a cool feature that you can spec out on this as well.

All right now, one of the things I didn't like that much about this laptop was the speaker's salute to speed.

There's a McLaren logo.

This is the latest one.

What will probably your email No granted?

I'm not assuming I'm going to see any kind of improving here because it's the same model as the previous one.

That said, the next version of this laptop, the seventh generation X one carbon.

Apparently not only did that one get a little bit lighter, and it's showcasing the carbon fiber exterior like you'll actually see the carbon fiber pattern, but apparently also, they improved the audio.

It's something I learned to live with.

To be honest, I guess I just I don't know.

It turns out that as Muchas like on the Mac book, I appreciated the speakers that it had.

It's not a deal breaker for me.

It's nowhere near as important as, say, the keyboard, for example, which is top priority for me, it turns out, after having tried a bunch of them, I've got the new one booted up, and first things first.

I'm very happy with the display upgrade.

Going to the higher resolution model, I think is worth it, not just because of the resolution, but also to have the face on lock, which I find to be convenient, even more convenient on a laptop than a phone.

To be honest, cause you're always staring at it, pixels air much tougher to pick up on the higher rez display than the 10 80 p version here.

At about this range, I can see pixels and text.

I would say the newer model trends a little bit warmer out of the box.

You can see right there brightness wise, they're pretty close, if not identical.

So what can I say?

I mean, you go back and watch the original video.

If you want more detail on how the speaker sound.

Ultimately, this is me doubling down on what is my favorite laptop at the moment.

I'll be really upset if Lenovo gets rid of this finish, because to me, it's still got the industrial look to it.

It's a little bit cleaner, doesn't smudge up the overall aesthetic of this device.

Here it's a bit more in line with a modern laptop.

The screen is nice.

The overall form factor.

14 inch display at two and 1/2 pounds and a solid build.

You know It's just it's a solid package, I think for right now, based on what's available in the marketplace, this right here represents my perfect laptop.

Women throw a SIM card in it.

I'm always connected.

It goes under the arm.

Very cool.

Lenovo, don't get rid of this finish.

All right, go ahead.

Put out the carbon version for generations.

Seven.

With the carbon we've on it.

But, like do this one too.

It's fine, I promise I'll buy one.

That's probably not enough to convince you, but, uh, the world's perfect laptop, Maybe possibly, at least for me.

I'll put actually the specs in the description if you want to.

Spec one out similarly, but there you have it.

X one carbon improved.
