I paid £1800 for the Lenovo X1 Carbon because I'd thought it was the best ultrabook at that time. Installing Ubuntu on it resulted in problems with: volume and brightness settings, trackpad, hibernation, fingerprint reader, mounting my NAS drive.
I don't have it anymore because I got robbed. Although I'm a Linux enthusiast, I ended up replacing it with the 2013 Macbook Air, because I don't want to pay a premium price for a product that I can't use 100%.
- papaf 13y agoQuote from an Ubuntu user with an X1: The Lenovo X1 Carbon is a dream for Linux. If you want to run Linux on an ultrabook, I cannot recommend the Carbon more highly. http://www.inaccuratedesign.com/2012/10/22/Linux-on-the-X1-Carbon.html http://www.inaccuratedesign.com/2012/10/22/Linux-on-the-X1-C... Fedora is also OK apparently: http://sysconfig.org.uk/2013/05/fedora-18-on-lenovo-thinkpad-x1-carbon/ http://sysconfig.org.uk/2013/05/fedora-18-on-lenovo-thinkpad...
