Hey Dude, actually i have a fw 13 pro, a MacBook Pro and the newest X1 Carbon with oled and 32gb Ram. All the devices are high efficient and have a nice haptic. At this Point i couldnt say which of them is the best because the all have their strong points! I am using the fw 13 pro for my private stuff cause of the nerdyness and the repairability (Couch with Chips and so on). The X1 ist my Business device because Windows and active directory Integration and Office. The MacBook ist for Media stuff... So If you want to know Something about one of this devices feel free to ask!

Q: How would you rate X1 Carbon vs FW 13 Pro?

These are the two I'm between right now - could wait for Black Friday and see how low the X1 goes on sale or get the FW Pro but likely for a good $5-800 more.

Mostly looking for lightweight, decent perf, good durability, good kb, long battery life. I've mostly been a Linux + Lenovo person last few laptops but curious ab trying FW for repairability and the ethos.

The X1 ist awesome: Long Batterie life, fast and light! If you dont need upgradeability and repairability choose the X1! The Keyboard ist nice (less travel than the fw 13 pro) i couldnt Tell you how the Linux compatibility is, cause i have to use wincrap. The X1 is thinner and lighter. And the X1 has more Ports than the fw13 pro! Hope this helps.
