Lenovo X1 Carbon Gen7

linux machine… pat, winlink, had openbsd and freebsd on it for a while…

The X1 Carbon (Gen 7) weights 1160 grams.

I do have Arch Linux installed — which is my daily driver. I sometimes boot from another NVME disk via a USB adapter into FreeBSD or OpenBSD to keep them up to date.

I would like to have more power and RAM on this machine (more power cores) but hey, it is really small so I will live with it…

The fan sometimes drives me crazy at it sometimes starts at full speed. It sometimes helps to smash the notebook onto the table or reboot – still very annoying.

Also the backlight of the keyboard is nothing you’d expect from Lenovo but I guess the turned those IBM Thinkpads now into just another far-east trash device.
