Is the ThinkPad X1 Tablet Gen 3 still a good option for light use?
Hi there!
I had a good laptop, but it died 1 week after the warranty expired, so for now I don't have any plans on buying a new one (my next one will be a ThinkPad). For now, I'm looking to buy a tablet for light use, watch netflix, youtube, browse and maybe if I'm not home, do some 3D work. I saw an X1 tablet gen 3 on ebay for less than $200, from the pictures, it does look used, but nothing out of the ordinary, the screen quality looks ok. I've read on this sub that it has thermal and battery problems, but others say that it works perfectly, and for less than $200, I really can't ask for a lot.
Is anyone still using it? Maybe with Linux or with Windows 11 it runs better? I saw some videos of users disassembling it and it doesn't look that hard (comparing it to a surface pro), and I know that lenovo has maintenance manuals for their ThinkPad products and they are made with good repairability and durability in mind.
