  • Beautiful sturdy design, Fast, responsive performance, Thin, light and portable, High-res IPS touchscreen, Class-leading keyboard, Good battery life, Three-year warranty
  • No SD card reader, Lots of pre-loaded software, Display could be brighter, Seriously expensive
  • The ThinkPad X1 Carbon remains one of the most formidable mobile PCs available. Beautifully designed and conforming to Intel's Ultrabook directive, it is in many ways the perfect realisation of how today's premium laptops should be constructed.Build q...

  • "Wave goodbye to a huge chunk of your IT budget if you want a fully-loaded model."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...

  • A laptop for business When it comes to getting work done without the frills and laces of other laptops the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is an admirable choice worthy of your attention. While there's plenty to like about this laptop there really wasn't en...

  • Rugged quality, Trackpointer is still excellent, Strong processor performance, Excellent battery life
  • Not the thinnest or lightest, Mediocre SSD and graphics performance, Expensive
  • Lenovo's flagship ThinkPad has aged well. While it doesn't seem as svelte as it once did, it remains a ruggedly built, quick machine with outstanding portability. There are elements that could be better, such as the display, but the Carbon proved at leas...

  • High-resolution, high-quality screen, Excellent keyboard, Light, impressive exterior, Good upgradability, Three-year warranty included
  • Screen quality beaten elsewhere, Battery life good but not the best, Bigger and heavier than ultrabook rivals, Business features add to price
  • I'm rarely disappointed by ThinkPads and the X1 Carbon 2015 is no exception. Fixing the unpopular changes of the last version will please devotees, while all the things that make these laptops great remains. If you're looking for a laptop upgrade in 2015...
