i am strongly leaning towards that system. question is will it last 5 yrs minimum? esp., the ssd. also, it tops at 8GB, which is not a deal breaker
A friend has the original x1 carbon. 2-3 years had the charging port break, a key fall off and now the fan seems to be broken.
You could look into T-series for something more sturdy. Also T550 has a geforce 940M option.
