  • Practical matte finish screen, supremely well equipped, very portable, tough carbon fibre construction, trackpad and keyboard comfortable for long periods of use, thin and light
  • Expensive, keyboard and function key changes will polarise opinion, ThinkPad logo might polarise opinion too, far pricier than a MacBook Air
  • The Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon isn't the right laptop for everyone. If you want to look cool in Starbucks, are out to spend as little as possible or want to play games, you're probably in the wrong place (although the X1 Carbon will breeze through an...

  • sleek and sturdy built, slim and light for a 14 incher, solid performer, alright battery life, runs cool and mostly quiet, 4G/LTE modem included
  • poor usability changes involving the keyboard and trackpad, lacks an SD cardreader, poor webcam, puny speakers, the WQHD screen is somewhat muddy
  • On a first look, Lenovo's ThinkPax X1 Carbon 2014 looks like a great machine. Sleek, solid, powerful and packed with the latest features, it sound like a great pick for business environments. Unfortunately though, Lenovo chose to redefine the keyboard, tr...

  • Terrific screen, stylish design, ruggedish casing, fingerprint security
  • Odd keyboard layout, not cheap
  • The latest Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon is a pricey Ultrabook - no question. For your money you get an incredibly sharp screen and a tough, lightweight case, plus a few additional bells and whistles like the adaptive keyboard. But you also get a frustratin...

  • Clever adaptive keyboard, Fantastic design ID, Unmatched inputs
  • Generally dim screen, Average battery life, No SD card reader
  • The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a business laptop that straddles the line between form and function more than ever after this update. For those with a penchant for aesthetics, here's a brand new design with some fantastic new features. And to keep the n...

  • Excellent input devices, High-resolution, matte touchscreen, Much-improved battery life, Runs cool and quiet, even under heavy load
  • Keyboard changes will irk many touch typists, Screen should be brighter, Sealed battery still stinks for many business users
  • While the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon feels solidly built and impressively light, with pretty good battery life and a generally very comfortable keyboard, whether or not it's a good fit for you depends largely on how you weigh the changes Lenovo has made ...

  • The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2014 edition deserves to make a bit more of an impact than the last model, which still lagged behind a little in terms of screen tech. This version has it all, it seems, although there is a chance its clever adaptive keyboard...

  • Excellent performance, Stylish, compact design, Extremely fast charge times, Ruggedly built to last
  • Poor screen quality for the price, Expensive
  • Fantastic performance for business users, let down by an unimpressive screen that makes the high price-tag a little hard to swallow. You can get performance that's not too much worse in models which are significantly cheaper, if you're less concerned abou...

  • Slim and attractive, Speedy SSD, 1,600 x 900 resolution screen
  • Only average battery life, Limited I/O ports
  • The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch is an executive's dream laptop. It is made with the same carbon fibre that makes his golf club shafts so light and strong. It's nice to look at and is comfortable to use. It's got the power to do real work, from shredd...
