Requested move 30 July 2020

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 

The result of the move request was: page moved to ThinkPad X1 series. (I'm assuming the difference in capitalization of the "P" was a mistake, given the Requested move/dated template I used to move the page utilized the capital "P" and the capital "P" is used in the previous title.) I'm assessing this as a move request, and not about the merge discussion which occurred during the request involving the broader title, which can occur in a new discussion if need be.

ThinkPad X1 Carbon → Thinkpad X1 series – "Carbon" is a sub-line naming (all sub-lines is: X1, X1 Carbon, X1 Extreme, X1 Yoga, X1 Tablet) 46.138.9.100 (talk) 17:49, 30 July 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. Jerm (talk) 03:44, 9 August 2020 (UTC)


 * There is also the question whether X1 products should not be included on the X page. 217.162.74.13 (talk) 14:03, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * So, for my opinion, the "X series" and "X1 series" is a optimal names, because all X* models (e.g. tablets, transformers, regular laptops and ultrabooks) can be simply placed with their marketing naming. Internal links is a solvers of some collision models (e.g. 2011's X1). Also, the "X series" page is a overgrown article. ThisIsNotABetter (talk) 22:50, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Probably the X page should only briefly mention the original X1. 217.162.74.13 (talk) 22:50, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I had to add X1 tablets and convertibles there because this page is only for Carbon. 217.162.74.13 (talk) 22:52, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The discussion has been relisted but we're all agreeing that the page should be moved. 217.162.74.13 (talk) 23:02, 9 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Support move as proposed, but oppose merge with Thinkpad X series. This line of X1s is marketed separately and seems to have its own clear characteristic set. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 12:56, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Additional comment: I've just noticed that the move proposal capitalises as "Thinkpad". I assume that's just a typo or a mistake, but to be clear my support is for a move to ThinkPad X1 series. Hopefully this is not controversial! &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 14:08, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment Nobody suggested merging the X1 page into the X page. The question is what X1 information should be repeated on the latter. 217.162.74.13 (talk) 14:01, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't really have a strong opinion on that topic, as long as this page is kept separate. Do what you think best! &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 14:08, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

X1 Carbon gen 3 table change and model numbers proposal
I was thinking about adding the model numbers to the tables, but when I looked at the PSREF sheet I noticed that the three different displays meant different dimensions, and down the OCD rabbit hole I went. Before I make any changes I thought I would ask for feedback on A) the way I went about dealing with variants with different dimensions, and B) if the model numbers are something that can be included in the Model column (as I have done, "20BS* 20BT*) or if they should be in their own column.

X1 Carbon Gen 1 SSD Type is incorrect
The first gen X1 Carbon does NOT use an M.2 drive. It is a proprietary Sandisk 20+6 pin connector. Example: https://www.cpumedics.com/sandisk-sd5sg2-128g-1052e-128gb-proprietary-20-6-pin-ssd-for-lenovo-thinkpad-x1-carbon/
