X1 Carbon Gen 10 i5-1235U... I did it.

Well I see not much anywhere online has been posted about this model so I went ahead and took a dive in the deep end and ordered it.

It's expected in 2-3 weeks which is adequate as I'll just be completing a trip.

For those cross shopping I'll let you know what I was looking at. I originally wanted the xps 13 plus but like many people were seeing the bad battery life and that made me take a step back. I then went on to explore the nano gen 2 but it only has "P" series processors. Well... if the carbon is having issues with cooling on the P series no way am I about to buy a nano with one.

Ended up getting the the only 1235U spec with 16gb of ram they had. I wanted the privacy screen but i'll manage.

If anyone has purchased this one and has hands on it drop a comment and let me know.

This laptop will be a strictly coffee shop and travel laptop. I have a desktop (i9-9900k, 32gb, 3080ti) and an MSI GE66 raider (i7-10870H, 32GB, 3080) so needed a bit of portability in my life. Haven't a thinkpad in over 15 years so looking forward to it.
