Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch Review
On the surface, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch is one of the best built and best performing laptops we've reviewed. The quality and design is stunning, and it's able to smoke even the toughest tasks with ease.
Pros:
- It may be plain black and probably won't win over Apple fanatics with its looks
- but the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch's alluring and premium build is one of its biggest plus points.
Cons:
- The array of business features is worth a mention as a positive, but we can't help but feel Lenovo has forgotten the basics here
- As business users we missed Ethernet and a proper AV connector, and the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch isn't quite slim enough to make up for the times we left the...

Pros:
- Attractive design
- Solid build quality
- Superb touchscreen
- Excellent keyboard
- Fast battery charging
- Mobile broadband with wireless hotspot support
Cons:
- Only two USB ports
- Non-removable battery
- Proprietary power connector

Fantastic!
Pros:
- I love this laptop
- Fantastic Linux support
- I UEFI boot Arch Linux using EFISTUB and it's lightning quick
- Almost all of the hardware worked out of the box
- I needed to configure the volume and brightness controls, but that's basically it
- Durable.
Cons:
- The mic mute button doesn't work
- Not sure if that's faulty hardware or Linux just doesn't recognize it
- The blank button next to it is unused though, so I use that instead
- My previous laptops all had a numpad when holding Fn
- I miss that
- It can get quite hot when charging.

Pros:
- Base of the solid 14-inch ThinkPad X1 Carbon upgraded to with Windows 8 and a touchscreen
- Excellent keyboard
Cons:
- Touchscreen makes the lid thicker
- Touch pad can be finicky at times

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Review
Another notable difference from last year's X1 is the Carbon's carbon-fiber construction (see what they did there?). The material is used in the notebook's shell and its internal "roll cage," making it both lightweight and rugged enough to withstand eight Mil-Spec tests for toughness.
Pros:
- Understated good looks
- solid build quality
- nice keyboard/touchpad
Cons:
- Pricey
- 128GB SSD
- average battery life

Pros:
- Stylish
- light and sleek
- Superb backlit
- spill-proof keyboard
- Durable soft-touch finish
- Powerful specs
- Good high-res screen
Cons:
- No Ethernet port
- Screen panel still TN
