I miss not having desktop 16:10s. I would love to replace my Dell U2412m monitors with a 3840x2400 24” DCI p3 display. But those don’t exist in the consumer market.

Microsoft's Surface laptops have 3:2 screens, which is just as good or even better.

The latest (gen 9) Thinkpad x1 carbon is 16:10

I hear they have keyboard flex and aren't great with Linux.

Bought an X1 recently and the Linux support is amazing: all components work more or less out of the box, and with `fwupd`, you even get firmware updates.

This is my first Linux notebook after ~4 years and I am really blown away by how easy it was to set up!

Not sure what you mean by keyboard flex, but so far, typing is really good...I am mostly using this for text work (research papers, proposals, presentations), so the keyboard sees a lot of use.

Which X1 did you get?

Gen 9; did not get a model with additional SIM support, though.

Thanks, I'll take another look at Gen9 X1 TP

The last great Elitebook. RIP
