  • Stunning design that continues to show business machines can turn heads, powerful internals to match the machine's beauty, light weight and super portable, gorgeous highresolution multitouch display, Lenovo's OneLink port feels like the future of docking,
  • New ThinkPad keyboard is awkward to use and will take time to get used to, battery life is less than impressive, adaptive keyboard is more cumbersome then helpful, no SD card slot
  • Overall, our experience with Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon is extremely mixed. The design of the unit is one of the most strikingly beautiful and simple machines we have seen to date but feel that the keyboard truly cripples the experience. If you can over...

  • Robust, but lightweight construction, 2560-by-1440-pixel touchscreen, HDMI and DisplayPort; hardwired ethernet; 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Adaptive function row
  • Short battery life, Unconventional keyboard layout, Over-hyped speech- and gesture-recognition features
  • Almost everything about the new X1 Carbon is better than the original. But the company's engineers should have left most of the keyboard alone. We can also do without its speech- and gesture-recognition....

  • Slim yet strong, larger than average display for an Ultrabook, high res touch option
  • New keyboard design is dubious
  • If you're a ThinkPad person and want one of the thinnest models available, or simply prefer a 14" display but don't want to move up to the larger T440s, then the Carbon X1 is worth serious consideration. We love the build quality, fast SSDs and high resol...
