Hot spot at the rear of the chassis
The ThinkPad X1 continues to impress Kitguru. We love the keyboard
Light weight and slim, Semi-rugged and durable construction, Excellent keyboard for an Ultrabook, Multiple inputs, including TrackPoint, Speedy performance
Only two USB ports, Sub-par touchpad, Touchscreen means lower battery life, Viewing angles aren't as wide as we'd like
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch is a good successor to the first generation X1 Carbon. It retains almost everything that is good about the original while adding the touchscreen many people value in a Windows 8 machine. You'll get a an excellent keyb...

Abstract: If Lenovo's X1 Carbon Ultrabook is any indication, professionals are in no hurry to move to Windows 8. Small wonder this new iteration of the ThinkPad ships with Windows 7 Professional instead. It eschews a touchscreen and a tablet form factor in fav...
