  • I'm not going to lie – right now, I'm not going to drop any coin on one but there's a couple of good reasons for that. My Macbook Pro is still going strong and it's a lot of coin to drop on something that won't get daily use but if you're going to make us...

  • 11hour battery life claim, 16GB of RAM, WQHD screen
  • Pricey, Marginal upgrade to 2015, No touchscreen
  • The 2015 version of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon was a solid performer. We expect the 2016 version to be equally solid with a few nifty enhancements added...

  • 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. Features such as 4...

  • We were hoping our first Ultrabook of 2015 would be a good one, and what we were delivered wasn't just something good, but something great.It's hard not to be impressed by what's on offer, and Lenovo has left very little out of the package. Sure, there's ...

  • Lightweight, Sleek design, Super upgrades
  • Giant TrackPad, Fingerprint smudges, Price

  • No built-in SD card slot, New features could require a user adjustment period, SSD not as quick as we expected
  • The new version of Lenovo's X1 Carbon Ultrabook offers some physical changes that can take a while to get used to. And while it's a strong and well performing notebook overall, with a useful 1440p, IPS screen, we can't help but feel like it might alienate...
