Tested: Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Update W/ Intel Broadwell, Self-Encrypting SSD
MojoKid writes Lenovo just revamped the ThinkPad X1 Carbon and in this third generation of the machine, they've adopted Intel's latest 5th generation Core Series Broadwell processors, along with a few other updates. In addition, they've retooled the keyboard and trackpad area, returning back to more traditional roots versus the second generation machine, which was met with some criticism due to its adaptive function key row and over-simplified, buttonless trackpad. Notable upgrades to this 3rd gen model are a faster Core i5-5300U processor and a self-encrypting Opal2 compliant SSD. Performance-wise, the new ThinkPad offers up some of the best numbers in utlrabooks currently, though battery life is a bit middle of the road, but still able to last over 8 hours under light, web-driven workloads.
Nipple. Funny bit of trivia, some guy in IBM patented that thing and they sat on the patent for years thinking no one would like it. Every so often you'd think they don't really have their finger firmly on the nipple of the marketplace.
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
What does everybody call that pointer thing. I call it a nub. My wife calls it a clit.
Alternatively, my recommendation for a long, happy marriage is that you *never* refer to your wife's clitoris (nor she your penis) as either "that pointer thing" or "a nub". Just my $0.02.
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
It averages less than 4000 on the PassMark CPUMark test. Roughly the same as a SandyBridge i3 (i3-2xxx series) or to put things into perspective a Core 2 Quad from 2008.
I'm using a Core 2 Quad from 2007 to type this right now, you insensitive clod!
(I need a new computer. *sniffle*)
