X1 owner checking in. I use it and I'm happy with it. It hit the sweet spot when I bought it a couple of years ago.

I don't recommend it for the given price point. I included all extra options such as insurance and the extra disk space.

I found it isn't fast enough in general usage. Had problems running a serverless javascript project. External monitors with scaling will bring the iGPU to its knees. The display itself is too small to effectively program on it, and the CPU is not powerful enough to run a multitude of unittests or compile more complicated programs on.

I use my X1 with an eGPU and two 4K monitors. Webdevelopment happens in VSCode with heavy usage of the VSCode remote docker plugin. This enables me to run unittests and development tasks on a beefy PC.

Taken all together this raises the price quite a bit.
