  • The better-than-HD touch display on the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon looks great, the new row of adaptive function keys is clever, and the keyboard and touch pad remain best-in-class examples.
  • Even dropping the higher-resolution touch display doesn't bring the price down, and the otherwise excellent keyboard has a couple of head-scratching, and typo-inducing, changes to the standard layout.
  • The third version of Lenovo's ultralight 14-inch laptop, the X1 Carbon, gets nearly all the basics right while adding a few new twists, including a function key row that changes app by app.

  • Gorgeous WQHD Screen, Durable and lightweight design, Accurate speakers, Runs cool

  • The ThinkPad X1 Carbon (2014) will ship later in January, priced from $1,299. While we're disappointed at the lack of a removable battery, our opening impressions of the Thinkpad X1 Carbon (2014) are positive. Featuring a powerful and efficient Haswell pr...

  • Exceptionally thin, light, and strong, Above-average performance, Terrific keyboard and pointing devices, Fast battery charging
  • Short battery life (and you can't swap in a fresh one), Just one USB 3.0, one USB 2.0 (and you'll need one for ethernet)
  • This quietly elegant executive notebook is small, slim, sturdy and a dream to use. It's expensive, and its battery life is short, but it's one of the best business-travel companions we've seen....
