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

    The Carbox X1 Gen7 is probably a decent choice, but it will depend on the specs - get at least an i5, and max out the RAM to 16GB - you can’t add it later, so make sure to buy one with the 16GB.

      I have an x1 Gen7 and it’s great. EXCEPT for the battery life which is fucking awful. Maybe 4 hours if you’re lucky. It was originally advertised as having 18 hours.
