I mention this because the RAM is soldered to the motherboard, meaning you can't upgrade it yourself down the road as you can with many Lenovo laptops. The exception is if you're editing video or compiling software, in which case I'd suggest upgrading to 16 gigabytes of RAM.
I find 8 gigabytes of RAM to be plenty for Linux. Fully maxed out, you're looking at $3,221, but with Lenovo's seemly permanent sale price, it's around $1,932. The base configuration lists for $2,145, though since its launch last year, Lenovo has run a series of coupons that have meant the base model is effectively around $1,300. You can upgrade the processor to an i7, max out the RAM to 16 gigabytes, and opt for a 4K screen. I tested the base configuration, which comes with a 10th-generation Intel Core i5 CPU, 8 gigabytes of RAM, a 256-gigabyte SSD, and a 1080p screen. The other peculiar thing? There was a Windows sticker on the underside of the case. My only real dislike is how the power button is on the side of the case, which takes some getting used to. There are two USB-C Thunderbolt 3 ports, two USB-A ports, full-size HDMI, headphone/mic combo, and support for Lenovo docks. I prefer it to aluminum laptops, which tend to have sharp edges. The matte black case is made of a soft plastic material that's wrapped around a very solid chassis-there's no flex or bend to it. They're solid, well-constructed, no-nonsense machines made for day-in, day-out use, and the X1 Carbon is no exception.Īll the usual ThinkPad standouts are here, including a great keyboard with the red "nub," a trackpad with the buttons at the top (where they belong), a fingerprint reader, and a hardware cover for the webcam. Didn't save me any time, so I finally just removed it.Lenovo's ThinkPad series laptops are not notable for their cutting-edge design.
So you will still need to type in the password to access that (like for email). Even fprintd has problems recognizing prints, and even if it does, you still have the issue of it not being able to open the keyring. There is another package with "fingerprint" in the name which is more GUI-related, but seems to have more problems than fprintd. The first thing to do is enroll your username, for example: fprintd-enroll -f right-index-finger myusername Read the man page for instructions on running it. The package list will update if a change was made, and you can then install the package fprintd. Under the first tab, Ubuntu Software, make sure the Community-maintained free and open-source software (universe) is checked. At the bottom left of the window, click on the Settings button. Click on the launcher Dash button, find the Software & Updates and launch it.
