  • The Lenovo X1 Carbon is a great computer for those who seek a laptop that is very durable, productive and comfortable at the same time. I have used it for months during trade shows in many parts of the world, and this computer still looks brand new withou...

  • Stunning design that continues to show business machines can turn heads, powerful internals to match the machine's beauty, light weight and super portable, gorgeous highresolution multitouch display, Lenovo's OneLink port feels like the future of docking,
  • New ThinkPad keyboard is awkward to use and will take time to get used to, battery life is less than impressive, adaptive keyboard is more cumbersome then helpful, no SD card slot
  • Overall, our experience with Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon is extremely mixed. The design of the unit is one of the most strikingly beautiful and simple machines we have seen to date but feel that the keyboard truly cripples the experience. If you can over...

  • Abstract:  We all have multiple aspects, we work, we play, we relax. We take on a different mindset for each situation. We want to feel comfortable in the board room, hold our own in when gaming at our couch against the stereotypical 13-year-old on CoD, or just sit ...

  • Robust, but lightweight construction, 2560-by-1440-pixel touchscreen, HDMI and DisplayPort; hardwired ethernet; 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Adaptive function row
  • Short battery life, Unconventional keyboard layout, Over-hyped speech- and gesture-recognition features
  • Almost everything about the new X1 Carbon is better than the original. But the company's engineers should have left most of the keyboard alone. We can also do without its speech- and gesture-recognition....

  • Slim yet strong, larger than average display for an Ultrabook, high res touch option
  • New keyboard design is dubious
  • If you're a ThinkPad person and want one of the thinnest models available, or simply prefer a 14" display but don't want to move up to the larger T440s, then the Carbon X1 is worth serious consideration. We love the build quality, fast SSDs and high resol...

  • Durable, Thin and light for a 14-inch Ultrabook, Bright, high-res screen, Adaptive keyboard panel can be useful
  • Worst-in-class battery life, No SD slot, Backspace key is shrunken and in a different place, Expensive; touchscreen doesn't come standard
  • On paper, the new X1 Carbon is an improvement over the original (which we liked!) in nearly every respect: It's thinner and lighter, and has a sharper screen, fresh processors and longer battery life. The problem is, the X1 Carbon, like many things in lif...
