The sixth-generation Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon gets in first with HDR screen skills, making it a standout laptop. Its not eye-searingly bright, mind, but that added brightness certainly makes for clean visuals that are far cleaner than other laptops we've been using of late.

HDR screen option is bright and clean; Tough magnesium alloy frame and different 'business casual' lightweight carbon design; 4G/LTE support for on-the-go working

Undeniably expensive; Battery life should be better; HDR screen backlight not uniform (shows in dim conditions; Nipple trackpad's presence won't appeal to all

To sum it all up, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6 th Gen comes across as a great all-rounder business notebook. Lenovo successfully takes the practical fundamentals of the ThinkPad series and beautifully fuses it with the modern-day conveniences of an ultra-portable notebook.

Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Gen is a superb business ultrabook, combining light weight, a powerful processor and excellent battery life.

As light as a tablet; Lenovo's top-of-the-line keyboard; Top-notch performance; Good battery life

Pricey; as befitting a premiere ultrabook; Gen 2 Ethernet connector is designed to sell you a dock; Take care when configuring; as touchless screens...

We've had the chance to review the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon in the past and every time we've walked away impressed. This year the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is back yet again and we had a chance to go hands-on at CES 2018.

This latest ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a much more qualified success than its more recent predecessors; it's hot, it's expensive, and it's not as powerful as the XPS 13 despite having the same processor and RAM.

Light and compact; Much-improved display; Top-class keyboard

Temperamental trackpad; CPU performs below capacity

As much as I love the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, it's not the best laptop in its price range. And cost is what it's all about. The Dell XPS 13 has similar benchmark scores, a prettier design, and a longer battery life for £200 less.

Ultra-portable; Wonderful keyboard; Speedy benchmarks; Built-in webcam cover

Oversaturated display; Occasionally tricky trackpad; Shorter battery life than old X1 Carbon

its fresh ThinkPad X1 series at CES earlier this year, a range that is focused on offering business users portability and power in one device. This included the standard Carbon as well as a tablet version and a refreshed Yoga 2-in-1 device.

Robust; decent performance; does what it says on the tin; nice consumer Yoga design touch
