Midav wrote: Hey guys, I just got my X1E recently as well. I have an external monitor that I use and when I switch to the 'second monitor only' display mode, my system becomes incredibly sluggish, and the system.exe process spikes in power consumption. From my understanding, this stems from an issue between the built-in and discrete graphics cards. Either disabling and re-enabling the intel graphics card driver or setting the graphics mode in the bios to 'discrete only' can help and does work for me.

Has anyone else experienced something similar and if so, how did you go about solving the problem?
I had the same issue and after searching online someone suggested to make all updates. I run Lenovo vantage and updated all critical and recommended updates including BIOS and it fixed the issue for me.

Got refund today, it’s pretty fast which it’s not like someone said it takes a month to get refund, it takes me less than a week. Good job Lenovo, it’s just what I want get fund before Christmas. Thanks Lenovo.

For the sleep fans always running, I got an answer from a forum, you just change sleep mode to Linux in the bios which make it to sleep S3 mode.

How does the finish of the x1 carbon differ from the x1 yoga? Is one of the two better aside from colour? How is everyone's experience with the carbon and yoga?

Love the X1 Yoga. Great build quality, fantastic screen, and an amazing keyboard. Hinges feel tight and solid. Minor irritation is the keyboard backlight always turn off when the laptop wakes up from sleep and after a restart. I much prefer the aluminum to the carbon-weave casing of Gen 3. Fingerprint reader is not very accurate though. I had a Gen 3 and it was same thing. Take a few tries to register, if at all. Never had this problem with my Yoga 710-15IKB. Maybe it's due to the fact that the reader is larger on the Yoga 710. As usual, the webcam is horrendous, but this seems to be a constant across the Thinkpads.

Thanks for the photo uploaded! I was wondering how to do that until the updates fixed it. I'll try it if it comes back again.

Hey guys, just found a little bright spot on the screen today. I didn't notice it before as I hadn't really checked. It's only noticeable on white background or light color background.

Warranty?
Return?
Live with it?

Hard to pick...
Kinda worry if it'd develop more.

Laptop has stayed on the desk since day one, and nothing has been on top. Not apply to pressure point.

I like this laptop though, and tired of hunting for another one. I wish I could get a replacement, which seems impossible.

How much is it to upgrade from a FHD to a WQHD panel?

For those who have the yoga. Do you get headaches even though it's an IPS display? I took a picture and notice flickering on my phone where I don't see it in my WQHD. Does anyone know why?

I finally got my Rakuten cash back for the X1E purchase @ $1399. I last received a reply on December 4th stating they were investigating.
