  • The third version of Lenovo's ultralight 14-inch laptop, the X1 Carbon, gets nearly all the basics right while adding a few new twists, including a function key row that changes app by app....

  • Gorgeous design, Interesting keyboard tech, Fastcharging battery
  • A bit pricey, Adaptive Keyboard is limited
  • Admittedly, it's tough not to look at the ThinkPad X1 Carbon not get a little giddy. This ultrabook is a beauty that should also be more than capable of handling most business-level tasks with ease. That Adaptive Keyboard is certainly interesting; it bri...

  • Touchpad a little too sensitive, Screen angles aren't great, Pro version of Windows 8 isn't standard
  • The addition of a touchscreen gives the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon more versatility when you're using Windows 8. It remains one of the best Ultrabooks on the market due to its overall build quality and an excellent keyboard...

  • Very thin and light for a 14in Ultrabook, Excellent keyboard
  • Only one port is USB 3.0, Ethernet is via a USB dongle
  • The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is an Ultrabook with a robust, carbon fibre-based body that's designed for business users. It's 14 inches, but it's still very thin and light and it felt great to use in our brief hands-on session...
