  • Good keyboard and choice of pointing options, Integrated 3G cellular broadband
  • Limited port selection, LCD panel seems dim and a little washed out
  • Lenovo's X1 Carbon offers an understated look and exotic chassis material, but the LCD panel display quality could be better....

  • The software, strangely. For as mighty as the firmware on the trackpad and keyboard are, the business-facing software that Lenovo loads onto the X1 is more oppressive than you'll find from other OEMs—even repeat offenders like Asus and Sony. Things like a
  • Yes. This is a wonderful laptop, and not just for the business users its supposedly made for. This is a laptop anyone can use, and maybe love. It takes all of the efficiencies and protections of business class machines and makes them, well, not insanely...

  • Speaker volume when used on lap, Fixed battery, Screen brightness
  • The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is an excellent buy for mobile professionals, but the machine is much more expensive than thicker ThinkPads. Those looking for a business Ultrabook should look no further than the X1 Carbon. It is the first business notebook to succ...
