If you're a developer - take a look at the keyboard first. They replaced the F keys with capacitive buttons (ie. touch sensitive buttons as opposed to physical buttons) and the capslock key was split into a home/end key instead. Sure it's still a nice laptop, but that sort of thing would drive me crazy.

I'm not so pleased with the capacitive F keys, but changing the capslock key to a home/end key sounds absolutely great.

I would check out the X1 Carbon in person before making that decision. The display is terrible. It's the only device over ever used that's given me significant headaches after even moderate use.

I second this. I returned mine after few weeks due to worst display I have ever seen. I can't believe that passed any sort of QA.
