I think it's when AMD made a significant step ahead in performance, but Intel didn't. Carbon for some reason is intel-only, so it was significantly slower and more expensive than other alternatives, for example T14s which is almost as thin and light Answer from buwefy on reddit.com

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 i7-10510U , RAM: 16 GB LPDDR3 2133MHz (Soldered): Storage 1 TB PCIe SSD $1199 @ 9 AM ET

Good deal but bad cpu. 10th gen intel cpu is pretty bad compare to amd 4000h or intel 11th gen.

Help please! Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 not charging when plugged in, and not detecting battery unless plugged in

Try brute force reseating battery cable as well as AC adapter. Don’t think of it as tampering, you’re just pulling out a cable and putting it back in. Just be ESD safe when you do.

Software can only do so much.

W10 update failure is a sign something is wrong with OS. That being said, run the W10 update troubleshooter. Worst case scenario, nothing is wrong according to troubleshooter and you’ll have to resort to nuking (wiping clean) the unit.

Success! Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 8! (Screenshot and info in post)

Thanks for posting a success! If you haven't already, remember to document your build please. Success posts like screenshots without documentation add little value to the sub. Adding a bit of documentation to your success post can also help others in the community who are interested in similar builds.

Minimally, you should add your hardware:
CPU:
GPU:
RAM:
Motherboard/Laptop Make and Model:
Audio Codec:
Ethernet Card:
Wifi/BT Card:
Touchpad and touch display devices:
BIOS revision:
Which of the guides on the sidebar you used.
What's working, and what isn't working.

Any changes that were specific to your build that were a little (or a lot) different than what you found in the guide, or anything that would be helpful to others with a similar build be sure to talk about that. More detail is always better.

Add extra info... Maybe add something you would like to point out about your setup, what you'll be doing with your Hackintosh, or something that might be insightful to others beginning their journey. A tree view of your EFI would also be helpful, but it isn't required.

Remember, don't share your EFI as what works for you may not work for anyone else, even if they have the same hardware. If you do share your EFI, your post and/or comment will be removed.

What should I get: the X1 Carbon Gen 8 or the Gen 9?
9th gen has wfhd screen (16x10 1920x1200) I love it deeply, definitely a much better choice then 8th gen. Edit: WUXGA apparently. More on reddit.com
