Sound quality is weak
Another USB 3.0 port would be nice
Hot spot at the rear of the chassis
The ThinkPad X1 continues to impress Kitguru. We love the keyboard
Built very well, so much that it's military spec (MILSPEC); Excellent screen that isn't overly glossy (and yet isn't totally matte); Great battery life; Superb keyboard; Two types of mouse offered, with the TrackPoint pointing stick in the middle of the k
While it doesn't look like it should be, the X1 Carbon is a fingerprint magnet; Touchpad needs better gesture support; Screen could be a little brighter; No SD card slot;
We were hoping our first Ultrabook of 2015 would be a good one, and what we were delivered wasn't just something good, but something great.It's hard not to be impressed by what's on offer, and Lenovo has left very little out of the package. Sure, there's ...
The ThinkPad Carbon X1 15 is an upgrade to last year's model. It's lighter, sturdier and more energy efficient. Unfortunately, these gains weren't dramatic and you'll find last year's model for less money online. Unless you're willing to customize and up...
1440p IPS screen, Strong and mobile, Overall comfortable to use, Fast Wi-Fi
No built-in SD card slot, New features could require a user adjustment period, SSD not as quick as we expected
The new version of Lenovo's X1 Carbon Ultrabook offers some physical changes that can take a while to get used to. And while it's a strong and well performing notebook overall, with a useful 1440p, IPS screen, we can't help but feel like it might alienate...

The betterthanHD touch display on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon looks great, the new row of adaptive function keys is clever, and the keyboard and touch pad remain bestinclass examples.
Even dropping the higherresolution touch display doesn't bring the price down, and the otherwise excellent keyboard has a couple of headscratching, and typoinducing, changes to the standard layout
The third version of Lenovo's ultralight 14-inch laptop, the X1 Carbon, gets nearly all the basics right while adding a few new twists, including a function key row that changes app by app....
Admittedly, it's tough not to look at the ThinkPad X1 Carbon not get a little giddy. This ultrabook is a beauty that should also be more than capable of handling most business-level tasks with ease. That Adaptive Keyboard is certainly interesting; it bri...

Clean and thin design, great touchscreen, fantastic keyboard, HSPAincluded
Small amount of bloatware, touchpad unresponsive at times, viewing angles
A perfect Ultrabook for those looking for performance but still want to keep weight and size down.
Excellent keyboard, Screen isn't overly reflective, Feels solidy built and isn't too heavy
Touchpad a little too sensitive, Screen angles aren't great, Pro version of Windows 8 isn't standard
The addition of a touchscreen gives the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon more versatility when you're using Windows 8. It remains one of the best Ultrabooks on the market due to its overall build quality and an excellent keyboard...
Very thin and light for a 14in Ultrabook, Excellent keyboard
Only one port is USB 3.0, Ethernet is via a USB dongle
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is an Ultrabook with a robust, carbon fibre-based body that's designed for business users. It's 14 inches, but it's still very thin and light and it felt great to use in our brief hands-on session...
