What would you recommend: T480; Carbon X1 Gen 6; Or Dell 7480? (lemm.ee)

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.

What's truly so much better about it compared to T480? Or 7480

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Dells IME just suck. YMMV. Compared to the T480 it's more portable and lighter.
