I have been utterly underwhelmed by the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon. The laptop is plasticky, the keyboard is meh, which is really bothersome for a 2k GBP machine.
What I am most annoyed with, though, is the fact that I explicitly chose Fedora as the base OS, and the battery level fluctuates wildly between full and "shutdown in 5 minutes"; but, more importantly: I'm getting random visual artefacts on screen, and I don't know if it's just an Intel GPU fuckup or if it's a broken display connector.
I was already underwhelmed by the fact that I had to use Chrome to buy from the Lenovo website, because it didn't support Firefox…
It's my work laptop so it's insured and has support; and I have fallbacks when working at home. I forked over 2 grand for this machine, though, and I am more than ever convinced I will *never* buy a Lenovo laptop, ever again.
How do they not support Firefox ? It is a web browser, designed to view websites that are meant to be w3c compliant, as in you write a website and it works on any browser.
Shows how standards have fallen when these companies can't get their head around that.
The rot set in during the Mid 90s when MS eventually wrote a web browser, however it broke websites as they failed to follow standards in an attempt to monopolise the internet
@zleap @ebassi well, this is a very selective remembering of history... IE was revolutionary when it was new and it was only by the time of around IE 5 when MS stopped actively developing and keeping up with standards. Then Firefox came along and did a very similar thing eventually wrt/ stagnant development, then Chrome came along and is having a very similar effect on the web, but via a very different mechanism... Turns out, all browsers(/software?) eventually suck :p
