Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 Reviews

The Windows Hello camera on their X1 2-in-1 stopped working entirely; Lenovo swapped it under warranty and it still does not work.

After six months their X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 (Core Ultra 7 165U, IPS) feels solid and light, runs cool with fans mostly off, and gets excellent battery life.

Their work X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 is a cool laptop overall, but the Windows Hello IR camera recognizes them only about 20% of the time unless the lid is at a precise angle.

Their X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 webcam would not work on Fedora, Ubuntu or Windows, screen rotation failed, and it is noisy with short battery life.

Their 1920x1200 X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 with the non-MIPI camera has been fantastic on Linux: everything works out of the box and battery lasts about 8 hours.

Really likes the X1 2-in-1 work upgrade, but the included pen is fine only for quick annotations, not for note-taking.

After months with their X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 on Arch Linux the webcam still does not work, the pen lost its cap and quit, the fan is often loud and battery barely reaches three hours; they would pick the Gen 8.
