![]() ![]() Upon opening the lid, we immediately noticed the plastic screen bezel. The internal carbon fiber-reinforced roll cage resists edge-to-edge twisting almost as well as its magnesium alloy counterpart while feeling less rigid, less brittle, and more resilient. Despite the differences in build material, the quality from top to bottom feels indubitably high-end and strong. For example, the bottom base of the ultrabook is the more familiar magnesium alloy and is firmer and smoother in contrast to the softer and textured outer lid. The top is barely compressible with a finger, even down the center of the carbon fiber lid where resistance is usually weakest. The design, however, is not unibody, nor is the material makeup homogenous. From a durability standpoint, the new chassis is above average on all levels. Is this material makeover a real improvement over its predecessors?īy affixing “Carbon” into the name, Lenovo is betting high on the polymer as a distinct selling point for the 2012 X1 lineup. A good chunk of the cost is attributed to the high-performance SATA III SSDs that come standard across all current models, but the carbon shell is what will have most users intrigued. The base model with an ULV Core i5-3317U starts for about $1250, which nominally matches the starting launch price of the original 2011 ThinkPad X1. In this review, we will take a closer look at the X1 Carbon 3444-22U equipped with a 2.0 GHz Core i7-3667U, 4 GB RAM, and a 256 GB SATA III SSD. The resulting ThinkPad X1 Carbon promises to be just as strong as aluminum at only one-third of the weight. Lenovo has ceased offering 13.3-inch models with Gorilla Glass in favor of matte 14-inch models, but the most visually significant is the new shell as Lenovo has essentially manufactured a new skeleton with carbon fiber material in place of the more typical magnesium alloys found in competing notebooks and previous X1 models. Aside from the predictable internal updates, vital changes have been made to the chassis. ![]() ![]() The 2012 Ivy Bridge redux has freshened things up in ways that many weren’t expecting. If a ThinkPad went on a diet, this is exactly how we would have imagined it. The fact that the notebook felt so well balanced both internally and externally was made more impressive by its ultra-slim profile. We applauded the original Sandy Bridge model for its high quality looks and feel, bright display, ample connectivity options, and strong system performance due to the dedicated solid-state drive. Introduced in mid-2011, the relatively new Lenovo X1 Series of ultrabooks attempts to fuse the best of both worlds. Your auto mat feature and database driven cache is an outstanding piece of code.Combine the sleek form factor of an ultrabook with the rugged qualities of a traditional ThinkPad and you get one of Lenovo’s thinnest, yet structurally sound notebooks to date. Last but no least a big Thank You to Jeff Godfrey. Many Thanks to Wolfgang for your inspiring work.Ī special Thank to Paddy Gaunt one of the authors of the pi3d project. Glenvorel Thanks for the new keyboard, mouse and touch screen support. To find out what's new or improved have a look at the changelog. Please note that PictureFrame may change significantly during its development.īug reports, comments, feature requests and fixes are most welcome! keyboard, mouse and touch screen supportįull documentation can be found at the project's wiki.photo metadata overlays (title, location, date.When I started 2019 my DIY project building a raspberry powered digital picture frame I came across Wolfgang's website I ran my frame with the pi3d PictureFrame2020.py viewer, but always missed a more deeply integration to my smart home server running Home Assistant.As my personel corona project I decided to rewrite the viewer to my needs. Tested on rasberry 3B+/4, Ubuntu 20.10 and Python 3.7.For remote control it provides an automatic integration into Home Assistant via MQTT discovery. This is a viewer for a raspberry powered picture frame. ![]()
