Incredibly light for a 14-inch laptop, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is ruggedly built, and has a better keyboard than any ultrabook-style laptop, even Apple's MacBook Air
For such an expensive laptop, battery life is just so-so. Consumer-friendly options such as HDMI are missing
The business-oriented Lenovo ThinkPad X1 has a few quirks, but is otherwise a very impressive business-oriented ultrabook with strong crossover potential.
Oh my! Best touchpad surface ... ever!, Matte display!, Solid construction, Good overall performance
Gets pretty hot, No more slice battery option, 1600x900 is good ... 1080p would be better

Abstract: The ThinkPad X1 Carbon (2014) is Lenovo's follow-up to what could be considered the first, and also one of the best, true business-class Ultrabook, the original X1 Carbon from 2012. While there is now a lot more choice when it comes to business Ultrabooks...

Solid Construction, World's Lightest "Business-Class" Ultrabook, 14" Screen, Lives up to the ThinkPad name
Lack of upgrade options
