Abstract: At just 1.17 kg , the new Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is the world's lightest 14″ business-class Ultrabook. It is amongst the thinnest Ultrabooks in the market with a thickness of just 16.5 mm . All this is thanks to its satellite-grade carbon fiber chassis...
Slim, light yet strong. Fantastic keyboard, very good display, good port selection
No touchscreen option, no USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon faces some serious competition, even within Lenovo's own overlapping lineup where the ThinkPad X1 Yoga and ThinkPad T460s beckon. The X1 Yoga brings a 360 degree hinge, touchscreen and a Wacom pen for $300 more. The T460s is...

slightly wobbly display hinges, LAN only via adapter, no USB Type C, hardly any upgrade options, very high price
Especially its great mobility is a strong argument for the X1 Carbon.With an aggressive weight of not even 1.2 kg, you can take the ThinkPad on every business trip and it easily lasts a whole day without power adapter. Despite slim design, the user hardly...
