  • Thin and light, rugged carbon-fibre casing, touchscreen support for Windows 8
  • Pricey, sealed unit makes for poor serviceability, no Ethernet port, no dock connector
  • The X1 Carbon Touch adds touchscreen support for Windows 8 to Lenovo's business ultrabook line. Like the existing X1 Carbon, it is rugged and light but lacks some corporate features such as Ethernet and docking support....

  • No Ethernet port, Screen panel still TN
  • The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is everything the original X1 should have been. Though its TN screen doesn't quite match up to the premium style, build and features of this stunning Ultrabook, in every other regard it's easily the best business ultraportabl...

  • Lenovo's first ThinkPad Ultrabook wasn't up to scratch, but the firm has addressed criticisms and nailed it second time around. The familiar ThinkPad design and build quality mean it'll stand the rigours of the office, the trackpad and keyboard are sup...
