  • Still no SD card reader
  • Unimpressive battery life

  • ThinkPad X1 Carbon has more consumer level,  but there is some competitor in the market, such as Samsung ATIV Book 9 Plus S7-392, Dell XPS 12, Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro and HP Spectre is good option.But we have a good summary since Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon has t...

  • Durable, Thin and light for a 14-inch Ultrabook, Bright, high-res screen, Adaptive keyboard panel can be useful
  • Worst-in-class battery life, No SD slot, Backspace key is shrunken and in a different place, Expensive; touchscreen doesn't come standard
  • On paper, the new X1 Carbon is an improvement over the original (which we liked!) in nearly every respect: It's thinner and lighter, and has a sharper screen, fresh processors and longer battery life. The problem is, the X1 Carbon, like many things in lif...

  • light and sturdy chassis, very quiet, large ClickPad, integrated UMTS modem, backlit keyboard, input devices offer great feedback, good viewing angle stability (90°), very good battery life, spacious SSD with 512 GB capacity, semi-matte touch display, HDM
  • very high price, integrated touchpad mouse buttons, webcam quality is marginal, lacks true Fn-keys
  • About 700 Euro (~$1000) separate the least and the most expensive version of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon - a substantial amount of money, especially considering the high base price of 1300 Euro (~$1800). Even the base version - equipped with the Core i5...

  • Extremely slim and light design is still tough enough to take on the road. High-resolution (2,560-by-1,440) touch display looks great. Intel Core i5 processor and solid-state drive offer zippy performance.
  • New function bar adds unnecessary complexity to simple functions. New keyboard layout may not be to everyone's liking. Ethernet requires dongle. Short battery life
  • The Lenovo ThinkPad Carbon Touch (2014) makes some bold changes to one of our favorite business ultrabooks, but while it's still a good laptop, not every change is for the better....

  • As with Lenovo's other recent ThinkPad releases, there are a lot of things to like about the ThinkPad X1 Carbon: it is very thin and light, yet has the appeal of a classic ThinkPad all the way down to the red keyboard trackpoint. The display is phenomenal...

  • The Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Touch is the rare notebook that does just about everything well, from performance and battery life to its touch abilities and superb display. Its $1,399 price tag is relatively high, but if you want the best, it is worth ever...

  • Beautiful design, Superb build quality, Gorgeous 2560X1440 display, Great performance, Useful adaptive function row, Best keyboard in the business
  • No SD card slot, Pricey
  • From purely a performance standpoint, the new Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon does not disappoint. The model we tested, with a more modest configuration of Intel's Core i5-4200U (you can configure a system with up to a Core i7-4600U) performed very well, r...
