Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Nano Gen 2 Review

The good,

  • sturdy build
  • 16:10 matte screen
  • weights less than 1kg
  • good Linux support

The bad,

  • The keyboard area gets warm when charging.
  • Key travel is even shorter than X1 carbon.
  • Keyboard is fused with the palm rest. It cannot be replaced easily.
  • The internal SSD is from Union Memory, a little-known company in China.
  • No USB-A or HDMI ports.
  • The only two USB-C ports are on the left side.
  • Everything except for SSD is soldered on the system board.

Conclusion: It is a good ultra lightweight laptop. But compromises were made for the weight. X1 carbon is a much better choice if you need more ports.
