I didn't mean content creators were not or could not use these laptops but rather Lenovo was not specifically targeting that demographic.Actually the X1 is for content creators!

I thought you wanted a 4k display with a decent GPU? The T590 is FHD with the MX250Now I want T590.
Apparently I'm not only one who is cross-shopping Vette with F150 when looking to replace an aging sedanI thought you wanted a 4k display with a decent GPU? The T590 is FHD with the MX250

I'm looking at the T490, I have to say, after using the X1 Carbon on the road last week the 14 inch screen really grew on me, as in it is not as bad as I thought and I can still do everything I was doing on 15 inch, but the portability is simply awesome. I just wish the screen was brighter and for something better than the integrated HD620. T490 has both and compared to T590 the only thing missing looks to be the full size SD card reader and this 4k screen (has 500 nit 1440p instead).They have 4K option.

CPU. 6 core on X1E, 4 core on T590. And I'm not a fan of full size keyboards on a laptop, rarely use but takes a lot of space and forces you to type off-center.The stated battery life is impressive. Not sure how it performs in real life. Besides the GPU, any important difference between the T590 and X1E?
How is the battery life of this year's laptops wth 9th gen and ice lake cpus compared with models made of last year's 8 gen i7 cpus?

It looks like the T590 has off center keyboard due to the numberical pad on the right. Anybody tried Thinkpad with this kind of keyboard? It is not as ergonomic as some Thinkpad users stated?

And when you do sell your laptop. Do you factory reset it?If you guys ever sell your Laptop, where would you go other than E-bay ?
I sold mine on swappa, I asked here in the markeplace forum what the value was, I also observed pricing on eBay and based on that I agreed to a price on swappa. It was probably a tad lower then what the market value was but it was a decent price. Ideally Craigslist or Facebook would be the best bet but you limiting your audience and it may take longer.If you guys ever sell your Laptop, where would you go other than E-bay ?
Yes, of course. Here's a fairly comprehensive set of steps https://www.imore.com/how-sell-your-macAnd when you do sell your laptop. Do you factory reset it?

It seems the luck I've had in selling has been good, its been quite infrequent. A couple of years ago, I swore off selling my stuff because of some rather needy, high maintenance people. In 2018, I sold my SurfaceBook, only to have to take it back because the buyer didn't like the trackpad and saying it was defective. Yet, if I were to make a change in platforms like I did (and I'm happy I did), selling my 2018 MBP was a must. Thankfully, prayers were answered and the sale was seamless and problem free.I don't I either gift to family or friends or give to a charitable cause.

I don't I either gift to family or friends or give to a charitable cause. I perform a secure wipe and basic install first, I figure that the hardware has more than paid for itself countless times over and should go to someone who will benefit from a good computer.
Just about to reset and gift a mid-high tier W10 notebook to friend who has a greater need, as her notebook is on it's last legs.
Q-6
The downside of selling online is the threat of disputing the sale. I had an old windows phone (when that was a thing) and I sold it on swappa but the buyer was a royal pain in the behind. He had issues left and right and finally forced me to refund him the money and return the phone. There was nothing wrong with the phone, all the problems he had were not there, i checked the phone out myself when I got it back and it was fine. He just changed his mind. That one sale really put a bad taste in my mouth, and I swore I'd never do it, then I tried selling my SurfaceBook and a similar thing happened. Arrrgh.Thank you. Maybe, if that time comes, I’ll just keep it as a back up. Probably lose too much money or it might be too much of a hassle to sell it. I too would wipe it and reinstall windows.
It's not a given that the gen 2 will have better thermalsI have several laptops in mind:
C930 for portability and tablet mode to use on buses. Worry about 4K screen in smaller lcd size
X1E Gen 1 for immediate availability and large 4k screen. Let's put aside the current noise issue
X1E Gen2 for improved hardware with better thermal and large 4k screen
T590 for large 4k screen and hopfully better battery life than X1E series
What suggestion do you have? I have a powerful workstation so cpu and gpu power on laptop are not important to me anymore.

I think you're putting too much faith in the Gen 2 being cooler/quieter then the current X1E. Why do you think its going to be so?X1E Gen2 for improved hardware with better thermal and large 4k screen

At least my MBP sale went and my reasoning is, I knew it was in mint condition and time was NOT on my side, i.e., keyboard, so I needed to unload it sooner then later. That way the buyer would have a period of time with a mint laptop and not incur any problems (I hope).

I need a Windows PC for new job starting next week. However, rather than shipping the laptop to me by today (Friday), Lenovo crazily cancelled my order. Now it is too late to order a new laptop and get it by the weekend. What suggestions do you have?
Head to the shops, seems the obvious answer, or use an older notebook until you can sort things out. Doesn't need to be perfect simply needs to work in the interim.
Q-6
MBP 2010 is dying, I guess. Sometimes not even respond to typing.
So just head to MS store, get a SB2 15" and try it for a month. If X1E's fan issue (alternating between dead silent and jet engine) is fixed, consider to get back to X1E?
