    I met him and looked it over in person and decided to take it off of
    his hands. I'm sure he could have sold it for a lot more, but I wasn't about to tell him that. Now I have a pretty kick ass thin-and-light laptop that'll keep me going for several years.

    Those are great laptops; I had one at my last job. I've got a 2019 X1 Yoga
    and a T480 at work now, and a T410 as my personal laptop.

    What's cool is this model also has two Thunderbolt 3 ports so I can use the dock I already have for my work laptop with it. One cable to rule them all!

    I just hope the ports on Lenovos are more resilient than the ones one the Dell laptops we use at work. I have to put in at least one or two service calls for broken USB C ports every couple of months.

    I have a T420 and the good thing about it is that it's very well-built! I alsso like the docking station because it's convenient to use as a
    "desktop", release and move somewhere else when you need

    Out of 40 X1 Yogas (3rd and 4th gen), I've had 3 of them go in for failed USB-c ports. Thankfully, in two cases they were able to charge from a dock, just not from the power supply - so they could get along until Lenovo came out.
