The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon feels like a return to form. Since its inception, the X1 series has been seen as a premium 14-inch business line. The series has introduced incredibly slim form factors, industry-leading performance and high-quality designs.

Fast; reliable performance Insanely light for a 14 - inch device Great Audio Excellent visuals with

i just got a new x1 (2nd gen 3 one) and thought people would like to know that i got an updated keyboard that doesn't have the issues that people complained about with the 3rd gen x1 (and that my other one has) and which almost kept me from buying another one.

size; trackpoint; screen; better keyboard

slightly heavier than previous x1

The charger worked fine at first now all it does is beep and wont charge

Lenovo's Yoga family keeps growing, giving the 2-in-1 treatment to the exceptional ThinkPad X1 Carbon to create a 14-inch, 2.8-pound convertible that will delight business travelers.

Sleek and slender; Winning keyboard and stylus; Solid performance

Expensive; No USB-C or Thunderbolt port; Screen wobbles when tapped

For Lenovo, the fourth time's the charm. The 4th-generation ThinkPad X1 Carbon gets the business ultrabook formula right with a keyboard, screen and battery life that live up to their promise, wrapped up in a durable, 2.6-pound package.

Firstly, the same review I tried to post few days ago on Lenovo website and it was rejected as ''it did not meet all our website guidelines''. It should be a big warning sign for potential buyers as Lenovo controls which negative reviews can be posted.

As far as laptop ranges go, there's very little introduction needed for the ThinkPad family. First produced by IBM more than twenty years ago, Lenovo acquired the entire range a decade later.

The X1 is a fabulous computer. Carbon makes it strong but very light weight. Battery life has been great - I can easily get 6-7 hours for work use (email, web, documents without heavy video). It's slim and easy to carry around.

Of course, price is going to be the big sticking point with this laptop, and I suspect most buyers will gravitate toward the lower-end configurations. The $1,400 version is about in line with the $1,200 MacBook Air, and that's clearly the machine which both Lenovo is targeting and which buyers are...

Head-turningly svelte and blazingly fast: Everything you want from an ultrabook; MIL-SPEC approved; Absolutely gorgeous display; Good old flat-black Lenovo charm

Slow to boot (nearly 30 seconds); Surprisingly buggy during normal operations, like running Windows Update; Clickpad is merely OK; Puny battery
