The only thing we can really knock the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon for is its endurance. The battery life is decent, but there are better options out there for longevity such as the Dell XPS 13.

Gorgeous QHD display; Market-leading keyboard; Lightning quick SSD

Lack of Ethernet and SD Card slot; Mediocre endurance

It's Lenovo ‘s most beloved business laptop: the X1 Carbon. The fourth-generation model has been released, and it's as beautiful as ever, bringing the best aspects of the X1 Carbon line and refining them with updated hardware, a lighter weight, and a thinner body.

Despite its very light-weight design, you still get some solid components in this ultrabook such as an Intel i5 processor and 8GB of DDR3 RAM. It doesn't have any dedicated video memory which is about the only weakness with this model but you do get a 128GB solid state drive for storage, and also...

Fantastic machine. Have had a long line of Thinkpads from the early 1990s and really missed the red Trackpoint button when I bought a Yoga a couple of years back. Saw this on Amazon at a great price so snapped it up before it went.

Last year's version of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon was a fully-capable business Ultrabook that featured a few minor flaws. Unfortunately for Lenovo, these issues kept the Carbon from reaching the pinnacle of the business laptop market.

The big issue with the X1 Carbon is its staggering price. Just like the pricey HP EliteBook Folio 1020 , you'll have to wave goodbye to a huge chunk of your IT budget if you want a fully-loaded model equipped with a high-DPI touchscreen.

This product is a kind of special , it' s cases are made with carbon which means a high reduce of weight just 1.408 kg and also with a 14 inch size make this device easier to care wherever you go and with 8 hour of battery life and you are completed.

Serious laptops don't have to be dull anymore. Just a few years ago, we'd have avoided those designed for business folk like we would a swaying drunk on the train - but the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon proves that Ultrabooks fit for business are now good enough for everyday folk to use and show off...

Practical matte finish screen; supremely well equipped; very portable; tough carbon fibre construction; trackpad and keyboard comfortable for long periods of use; thin and light

Expensive; keyboard and function key changes will polarise opinion; ThinkPad logo might polarise opinion too; far pricier than a MacBook Air

Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon is definitely a high performing ultrabook which offers great performance and mobility in a thin, light package.

Great design; excellent performance; light weight

Price may be a consideration for some

The Lenovo X1 Carbon is a serious Ultrabook for the business professional. It also carries a seriously high price tag, especially as you start upgrading components, but in return you get a premium system that's built to last, is every bit as portable as a MacBook Air, and is fast on the draw.
