Sadly my Thinkpad T430s suffered a disk crash yesterday, so I'm in the market for a new computer (it was getting old anyway...).
I'm quite happy with running Thinkpad - my only issue has been battery life, which has been sub-par on the T430s. In any case, I'm considering the X1 Carbon gen7, but I've found various threads about problems with audio, microphone, wifi, battery life - but at the same time, the laptop is listed as "certified pre-install" at ubuntu.com. I understand the fingerprint reader won't work, but that is not an issue for me.
Are all these other quirks straightened out, or will I have much grief running Ubuntu on this laptop? Would the gen6 be a safer bet (although I understand that the speakers are much worse on that model)?
