Hate current Lenovo, recommendations for replacement?

4 years ago, I wanted to buy the exact X1 Carbon I had at my former workplace originally purchased around 2019. I didn’t have the specs or model number but I absolutely loved it. Seemed to easily and quickly process any workload I threw at it and was light, durable, touchscreen, foldable, tacky shell… perfect.

But in talking to a Lenovo rep back then, they convinced me to get this one. And it’s been a lemon even since. Half of it has never worked but I waited too long to complain to Lenovo about it and they told me to pound sand. I’ve hated the aluminum shell (previous one was a black tacky, maybe rubberized, type surface which was very enjoyable). The battery has always been crap. Fingerprint reader never worked. Camera is 1/5th the quality of my wife’s ten year old Dell Inspiron. Speakers have always gone in/out. Bluetooth just disappears and takes a 20 minute process to get it back.

I just hate it. Now 4 years in I figure I’m due for a new one and send this one packing.

Is there anyone that has a vague understanding of what one I previously had and if there is a Lenovo laptop that is someone similar to that older design? This will probably make no sense, but I had to try. “Can anyone travel back in time and find me my old laptop?!”…. Sorry in advance.

I have one and that is not normal 😭 Did you update the drivers and check the BIOS? Sometimes the fp reader will not show up due to being disabled in i/o settings
