This is an all-day, away-from-an-outlet ultrabook that can easily go the entire day moving from conference room to conference room at major conventions without missing a beat. TLDR: can type equally fast with all three keyboards, but X1 Carbon Gen 6 feels more effortless to type than X1 Carbon Gen 9 X1 Nano keyboard is too cramped to be comfortable, especially if typing reclined on your lap.We can't leave off without noting that the battery life on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 far surpasses its rivals, like the Razer Book 13, Dell XPS 13, and even its siblings like the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Nano. So if you've never had a X1 Carbon Gen 6 and are coming from a XPS13 or some other machine that has lower key travel, you probably won't feel like anything is off with even the Nano. 1.5 mm).įor practical purposes, I think everybody will get used to each keyboard, and will end up building back up to their normal typing speed once they type long enough on each machine. I think this keyboard is even shallower than the X1 Carbon Gen 9 (1.35 vs. I kept it for a few days and tried to force myself to like it, but just couldn't accept the trade off relative to the X1 Carbon Gen 6. I didn't get the chance to measure the keyboard relative to the X1 Carbon Gen 9 (since I didn't have it at the time in January). X1 Nano: I found this keyboard the worst mostly because my hands just felt cramped. It also is a little harder to type when you're reclined at an angle with the laptop (probably due to key travel and bottoming out) on a sofa or couch compared to the Gen 6.

You adjust to it, but it doesn't feel like you're seamlessly working together with the laptop. So I would say the typing experience is slightly less comfortable with the X1 Carbon Gen 9.

1.5 mm) or the fact that it bottoms out more harshly, but I find myself having to just so slightly poise my hands in comparison instead of just resting them and letting them type, in order to achieve the same accuracy/speed. I don't know if it has to do with the key travel (1.8 mm vs. X1 Carbon Gen 9: I have the Chicony keyboard on this, and the actuation is not as smooth as the X1 Carbon Gen 6. I would describe the typing experience as 'effortless.' I can just put my hands on the keyboard and type, and not think. X1 Carbon Gen 6: this keyboard definitely feels the best of the three. In terms of typing speed, I was able to clock ~120 wpm on speed tests across all of them after getting accustomed to the keyboard.īut the subjective typing experience was quite different between the three laptops. Since the topic of typing experience on the latest generation of X1 Thinkpads keeps coming up, I thought I'd weigh in since I currently have the 'best' X1 keyboard with my long-running X1C6 machine, and have bought both the X1 Nano (which I returned in January), and more recently X1 Carbon Gen 9 (which I've kept).
