  • High CPU and application performance, Light, rigid casing, Quiet, even relatively quiet during load, Big touchpad, Integrated 3G modem, Backlit keyboard, Feedback strong input devices, Good battery life, Short battery charge time, AR coated touchscreen
  • Tight viewing angles compared with IPS, CPU throttling during extreme load, Few interfaces, no docking port, High price
  • HP's EliteBook 9470m disappoints with a color-weak HD screen, Dell's Latitude 6430u optionally available with HD+, that we have not yet tested. The casing is thicker and the runtime is shorter.The new SSD that now comes from Intel is state-of-the-art, but...

  • Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article, Crabon, laptop, Lenovo, notebook, ThinkPad, touchscreens, Windows 8
  • Probably the most expensive computer in its class. Screen not as impressive as the previous generation. Battery life upgraded, but still not enough

  • Light weight and slim, Semi-rugged and durable construction, Excellent keyboard for an Ultrabook, Multiple inputs, including TrackPoint, Speedy performance
  • Only two USB ports, Sub-par touchpad, Touchscreen means lower battery life, Viewing angles aren't as wide as we'd like
  • The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch is a good successor to the first generation X1 Carbon. It retains almost everything that is good about the original while adding the touchscreen many people value in a Windows 8 machine. You'll get a an excellent keyb...

  • Lenovo takes its solid 14-inch ThinkPad X1 Carbon and upgrades it with Windows 8 and a touch screen, while keeping the excellent keyboard
  • The touch screen makes the lid thicker, and the touch pad can be finicky at times
  • The business-oriented Lenovo ThinkPad X1 adds must-have features for 2013, and remains a very impressive business-oriented ultrabook with strong crossover appeal.

  • Either I am getting softer as time goes by or manufacturers are starting to listen to the ideas of the people buying their products. As much as I wasn't a Lenovo fan, for the most part because of it's plain and unpolished look, there are just so many posi...
