Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 review: High promise left unfulfilled

There are plenty of great features in this enterprise machine – it's really enjoyable to type with and is as light as anything. But is it worth the price tag?

Light and compact build ; Loads of ports ; Snappy keyboard

High pricing ; OK performance ; Touchpad responsiveness ; Underwhelming battery life

The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 won’t win any new converts

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 is a well-built 14-inch laptop with good productivity performance. But it's expensive, making it a dubious proposition.

Thin and light chassis Good productivity performance Excellent OLED display Great keyboard Good business support

Performance lags competitors No haptic touchpad Mediocre battery life

“The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 won't win new fans, but will satisfy its current audience.”

Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 12 2024

Lenovo has honed this ThinkPad to excellence, but the price is downright silly.

Design remains second to none in the business laptop world. Thin, light, and elegant. Amazing keyboard. Dazzling screen.

Insanely expensive, particularly given somewhat lackluster performance. Middling battery life is particularly troubling.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 Review

You'll still find no finer business ultraportable than Lenovo's 12th-generation ThinkPad X1 Carbon, but the latest model suffers from terminal sticker shock for simply decent performance.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 review: You can do better

I would be impressed… if it cost half the price

Sleek design ; Beautiful OLED display ; Bouncy keyboard ; Excellent performance

Pricey ; Display benchmarks should be better ; Small touchpad ; Below average battery life

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 could have been the greatest business laptop of 2024, but at over $2,000 it came up short of expectations with disappointing battery life and a tiny touchpad.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 Review: Flagship Business Laptop Now Ultra Expensive

The latest X1 Carbon has many charms, but they will remain out of reach for many business buyers constrained by budgets.

Incredibly compact and lightweight yet durable ; Beautiful OLED display ; Excellent ThinkPad keyboard

Incredibly expensive ; Battery life isn't great ; Baseline touchpad is undersized and lacks haptics

This Lenovo ThinkPad is my top pick for remote work - and it's nearly 50% off now

Lenovo's 12th-generation ThinkPad X1 Carbon refines its design with a host of improvements, resulting in a thoughtful and well-optimized device.

I would recommend the 12th-generation ThinkPad X1 Carbon to just about everyone: casual users, professionals, programmers, and creators. There are a myriad of different ThinkPads out there, but this one stands out for its thoughtful attention to detail...

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (Gen 12) Review: Light in Weight, Heavy in AI

Lenovo shrank the X1 Carbon's footprint while amping up performance with a Meteor Lake CPU.

Great keyboard with pointing stick ; Extremely thin and light ; Plenty of ports, using USB Type-A

Expensive ; Mediocre battery life ; OLED screen is not that vibrant

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (Gen 12) offers a sleek new design, great keyboard, and strong local AI performance, but you’ll have to pay a hefty premium and settle for so-so battery life.
