Is there a more stable Linux laptop than the Thinkpad X1 Carbon? Suspend doesn’t work correctly, the trackpad doesn’t work on 50% of boots, and the mic (even headset mics) aren’t working.

Latest Ubuntu kernel and firmware means my Lenovo work laptop can't turn back on after suspending. Linux on the laptop is still bad

By "trackpad doesn't work on 50% of boots", do you mean nothing at all, or just gestures like 2-finger scroll not working? If the latter, try bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s… then bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s… ?

That said, my experience running Ubuntu 19.10 on an X1 has had none of those problems, although haven't tested audio stuff on it so I can't vouch for that one.

I and a colleague are both having it. Must be a later gen problem. And audio is a strict requirement given our org and product

Yeah, if it's brand new, maybe wait for the next rev of the distro? Running a distro/kernel older than the hardware can often be a bad time, but it generally gets better pretty quickly.
