I need a portable laptop to:
- have a lot of online quality video calls
- type a lot during each meeting
- have a ton of browser tabs open
- have a few CPU-demanding apps running at the same time
I will use this laptop as my main PC.
I’m also considering:
- T480s
- Carbon X1 Gen 7-8
- Dell 7490
I daily a T480 with Debian for work, and I’d recommend it highly. Great performance, battery, build quality, look & feel, etc. We have some 7480s deployed and while they’ve been solid as well, I much prefer the thinkpad. T series will have better performance and battery than X series, also, so I’d take the T480 over the X1C.
