It's T14 Gen 1 vs X1 Gen 6

Can't use Western sites as I'm in Vietnam. But thanks!

Is it worth the increase in weight and bulkiness?

Thanks a lot but I have no idea as to where to even begin with the search for trusted international shipping options. Any advice on that?

I'm also not from the states so tough luck with relatives 😄

How can I use the serial number to verify? Where and what to look for? Should I ask the shop before buying to show me the serial number? It's an online-only store.

There's another option: 14 inch T14 i7-10610U, 16GB RAM, 256GB storage for 400usd (also used, directly from the US). Would that be better than the Carbon?

I can only ask the shop to show me the results as it's an online-only store.

No new ThinkPads out here unfortunately.
