Cool to hear about the X1 Carbon! Conversely, I would avoid the Lenovo X1 Extreme. I have a Gen 4, and I could not get the following working under OpenBSD 7.5: built-in mic, touchscreen, bluetooth, Discrete Graphics (Nvidia), and HDMI output. Of the things that didn't work, I only really cared about the HDMI Output (as I need to do presentations and/or use an external monitor). Whilst I knew that Nvidia is not supported under OpenBSD, what I did not know before I purchased it, was that for some laptops the HDMI Output is only driven through some cooperation between the Integrated Graphics (Intel) and the Discrete Graphics (Nvidia).
