Abstract: ThinkPads might be some of the best business notebooks in the business, but they have a reputation of being a bit boring. The introduction of the ThinkPad X1 marks what looks to be a new chapter for the ThinkPad brand.We awarded the ThinkPad X1 an Editor'...
Abstract: We got the new Lenovo ThinkPad X1 in our hands early, to get the skinny on this laptop targeted for the business user. This slim black laptop looks good on the outside, but like Mom used to say “It’s what’s inside that counts.” With rumors of Intel Cor...
One key feature missing from the X1 that we liked about the X220 is the IPS display. While the Corning Gorilla glass and “infinity” screen are nice features, the display can’t hold a candle to the IPS display in terms of viewing angles. Observed indep...

Thin, durable design with a superb keyboardFast-charging batteryGood speakers
Short battery lifeReflective displayLimited CPU selection
As you can probably tell, we like the X1. A lot. It's as thin and durable as it is ergonomically sound, it performs briskly, and particularly thanks to those strong speakers, we can see people snapping this up even if their lives aren't scheduled around m...
Abstract: A few weeks ago I had my first Lenovo experience with the Edge 420s—system which I consider one of the best notebooks currently on the market if not the best. I feel that way about the Edge 420s because of its stellar design, amazing power, and comput...
Lightweight, durable design, Best keyboard we've tested, Strong performance, Good conferencing experience, Impressive audio quality
Short battery life with default battery, Lackluster viewing angles, Heavier than competing 13-inch ultraportables
The ultimate businesss ultraportable, the ThinkPad X1 combines the best notebook typing experience ever with strong performance, a sleek design, great sound, and durability. However, the notebook isn't perfect. Business users who require more endurance...

Incredibly light for a 14-inch laptop, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is ruggedly built, and has a better keyboard than any ultrabook-style laptop, even Apple's MacBook Air
For such an expensive laptop, battery life is just so-so. Consumer-friendly options such as HDMI are missing
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 is the thinnest ThinkPad ever made, and it's a slim, cleanly designed 13-incher worth a look for business travelers--but it's not as thin as a MacBook Air, and its battery life isn't as good, either.
Not totally sold on the angular design. Islandstyle keyboard looks cool (and variable brightness backlighting is nifty) but touch typing isn't up to ThinkPad standards. Very weak battery: 2 hours, 44 minutes. Sloppy finishing: For example, no raised nubs
Sturdy construction, Gorilla glass is scratch-proof, Backlit keyboard, Great typing experience, HDMI and DisplayPort, Fast 2,5-inch HDD, Standard Voltage processors only, An excellent mix of wireless technologies, Dolby sound is worthy of entertainment laptop,
No Anti-glare screen available, Standard battery alone doesn't crank out enough battery life, Hefty for an ultraportable without an optical drive,
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 has a backlit keyboard, edge-to-edge gorilla glass screen, the infamous click touchpad, and high-fidelity Dolby sound, and it has some serious processing chops. Its standard battery, however, is unimpressive. ...
