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.

After reading some of the negative quality reviews on here I was a bit hesitant, but I have been using Thinkpads for 11 years now and never had an issue. In fact, my X60 from 2006 still works, as does my X220 from 2011.

Memory module died after 1 year. It's soldered to motherboard and ssd is a weird format so really hard to get my data back. Not recommended...

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (4th Gen.) is a capable business laptop with a premium ultrabook design that melds portability with rock-solid performance.

The laptop's thin and light design is extremely portable; without sacrificing any capabilities

It's missing some ports like Ethernet and a full-size SD card slot

Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon is the best laptop for traveling professionals.

Durable chassis; Plenty of ports; Attractive; yet anti-glare display; Excellent processor and hard drive performance; Class-leading battery life

Mediocre look and feel; Very small touchpad; More expensive than similar competitors

The ThinkPad X1 Carbon, now in its third generation, tries to bridge the gap between slim, fashion-first laptops and solid business machines. Laptops over the years have become worse and worse in terms of features and comfort, largely because of a push to become as thin and light as possible.

Study; slim and light; Great performance; Good screen

Average battery life; Software bloat; Limited physical and wireless connectivity

The Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon has a brilliant keyboard, performs well and good battery life. The security features are impressive as well and all this makes it the best business class ultrabook to buy today.

8-9 hours of battery life; well built and lightweight; brilliant keyboard

larger footprint compared to other ultrabooks; Steep pricing

The laptop is wonderful for frequent travelers. The form factor fits the dining tray in the economy class nicely and the battery duration lasted 5 hours, great for transcontinental flights. The only thing is the keyboard, the adaptive keyboard is something to get used to.

The latest ThinkPad X1 Carbon (starts at $1,349; $1,629 as tested) is the thinnest and lightest one yet. Lenovo's flagship business ultraportable weighs less than 2.5 pounds, yet has the processing muscle to power through presentations, spreadsheets, and a lot more.

Almost 16 hours of battery life; Weighs less than 2.5 pounds; Bright, clear display; USB-C with Thunderbolt 3 support; Anti-Fry cable protection

Ethernet requires a dongle; Omits OneLink+ dock compatibility; No touch screen option

's venerable ThinkPad business oriented laptop line is punctuated by a couple of stand-out models, but perhaps none as striking, at least for a , as the ThinkPad X1 series. In its current lineup, Lenovo offers two models specifically that command attention perhaps more than others, the that we...
