need a laptop to buy (and then return) while my thinkpad is in service

what should i try?

requirement: should NOT be heavier than thinkpad x1 carbon gen 10 (~1.12kg) + 13-14" display, durable and premium feel, min 32gb ram

and before you suggest: macbooks are all heavier than this

Why does weight have anything to do with it?

wen you've used ultra-light laptops you can't go back

frfr :( tried a bunch in store, nothing comes close to utilitarian x1 carbon

Dell's XPS 13" was always my go-to (and they used to have a developer edition built for Linux)

Looking at the newest specs though, they're a hair heavier at ~1.17-1.19 kg

+1 for the Zenbook otherwise

The Surface Pro could be another option

I was going to ask if you’ve tried the framework 13 it meets the ram requirement but weighs in at 1.3kg

Asus Zenbook 14 OLED (UX3402).
It’s a great temporary replacement.light, premium, and powerful! Plus, Asus laptops are generally easy to return if needed.
I grew up with Asus VivoBooks.😁
