Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 5th 14" FHD Business Laptop, Intel Core i5-6300U up to 3.0GHz, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, US Keyboard, Webcam, Windows 10 Pro (Renewed)

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.

El producto cumple con sus especificaciones, la batería le dura un estandar de unas 5 horas y es rapida como la familia del equipo lo exige, estoy muy satisfecho con el producto.

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.

Modelo muy ligero y compacto, es rapidísima se enciende en 10 segundos, me encantó.

I recently purchased a renewed Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G5 laptop and wanted to share my experience with fellow consumers.Firstly, let me start by saying that while the listing described the product as "Excellent," the actual condition fell short of expectations. Here's a breakdown of the issues I encountered:Battery Life: The battery, rated at 74% health, showed significant degradation, which could affect its usability on-the-go.Battery Cycle Counts: With over 1249 battery cycle counts, it's evident that the battery has seen extensive use, raising concerns about its longevity.SSD Usage: The original SSD had over 11TB of data written to it, potentially impacting its performance and lifespan.Physical Condition: Black stickers/wrap were used to cover damaged areas on the case. While this might seem like a quick fix, it cheapens the overall appearance of the laptop.Screen Alignment: The misaligned screen was a noticeable flaw that affected the user experience.Hardware Issues: Loose or stripped screws on the bottom of the laptop hinted at potential durability issues.In summary, while I appreciate the opportunity to purchase a renewed product, the discrepancy between the listed condition and the actual state of the laptop was disappointing. Transparency and accuracy in product descriptions are essential for building trust with customers.I hope this review serves as valuable feedback for both sellers and consumers alike, emphasizing the importance of honesty and integrity in online transactions.Thank you for taking the time to read my review.
