You should probably look at a different solution for hard drive storage though. Maybe a NAS. I would rather have a 500 GB SSD than a 1TB traditional drive.
Positive experience with X1 Carbon here. Use mostly for Excel, Python (nothing crazy in Py; I'm a noob) - not much else. Wish I got the i7 because it can get a bit hung up when working with a lot of data. Only other thing is an intermittent issue with screen flickering. Seems to only happen when battery is low - and it seems to be a rather prevalent issue. If you keep it plugged in, no sweat.
