ThinkPad X1 Carbon (3rd Gen.) Broadwell

Just few notes on the cuff:
* ThinkPad X1 Carbon (3rd Gen) > Lenovo Quick Pick it is coming
* https://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=26052 and it got some certification already

Coming weeks will definitely bring more details in our nets

 

Do you think it can go to stores before December?

 

Absolutely not - January/February.

 

fu** have a friend that will come to Portugal next December :s :cry:

 

I hope that they don't include that stupid adaptive strip again. If they do, I'll laugh so hard...

 

I already lost my hope on it get the sdcard again so lets pray to they remove the adaptive strip...

 

Adaptive strip has been the least of my problems with this thing. I actually like the adaptive strip, but then again I never use function keys for work.

 

any further info about the new gen? would it just be an incremental upgrade? IF that's the case might as well wait for another 5-8 months for skylake?

 

Here are the official specs.

Considering how bad the X1 Carbon Haswell turned out, I'm eager to see whether Lenovo learned its lesson.
