    Question Thinkpad X1 Carbon vs Thinkpad T480s - web development

    I’ll be doing mostly web development, some C# / Haskel / PHP. Nothing extensive like photo/video editing. I will be doing web-design, though. At this point, I’m leaning towards X1 Carbon due to the screen display… but T480s seems like it has same specs for lower price? Would love some help.
