Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon review

The ultrathin business laptop that sacrifices nothing

Smaller and lighter in every way ; Improved Microsoft Precision Touchpad ; Windows 10 Signature Edition cuts bloatware

Expensive

Lenovo refines the already excellent ThinkPad X1 Carbon, making it smaller and lighter, while cutting bloatware and adding more power with Kaby Lake processors.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (2015) review

This high-end business Ultrabook struggles to sell its price tag

Excellent, reliable performance ; The very best keyboard and trackpad ; Thin and solid build quality

Paradoxically glare-prone anti-glare coating ; Still no SD card reader ; Unimpressive battery life

The Lenovo X1 Carbon offers reliable performance with a stellar keyboard, but short battery life and a glare-filled screen are two untenable problems.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon review: A high-class ultrabook that’s a step above the rest

Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a superior business class ultrabook, let down by its lofty asking price

Lengthy battery life ; Performance ahead of its rivals ; Stunning lightweight design

Expensive

The display might be a touch lacklustre but otherwise this is the perfect business ultrabook. In fact, Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Carbon ticks all the right boxes: there are plenty of configurations to pick and choose from, performance is ahead of its...

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon review: Loose screw prompts worldwide recall

Some fifth generation ThinkPad X1 Carbons are at risk of internal damage and overheating

Thin and impressively light; Great battery life; Excellent port options; Superb design; 14in thin bezel screen

Display performance is average at best; Pricey

While not the thinnest ultrabook around, it is certainly one of the lightest, offering excellent portability and one of the most generous array of ports and optional extras we have seen on a device. It's built from the ground up to be a business...

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (2015) review

Dripping with features that professionals will love, but the steep price is hard to justify

The big issue with the X1 Carbon is its staggering price. Just like the pricey HP EliteBook Folio 1020, you'll have to wave goodbye to a huge chunk of your IT budget if you want a fully-loaded model equipped with a high-DPI touchscreen.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Review (2015)

In January of this year, I walked into the Lenovo booth at CES and almost immediately to the right there was a large display case set up, and inside was Eve. Eve looked great in the case all dressed in black, and was well attended to by her hosts. Eve...

Despite the battery life, I really enjoyed using the X1 Carbon. It has an understated look about it which is very traditional ThinkPad, but in a much slimmer design. It is very easy to carry around in a bag, and when you get where you need to go, there...

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Ultrabook (2015 model)

It's a return to normal for the ThinkPad X1 Carbon's keyboard layout, and this alone is noteworthy

High-quality keyboard ; Solid build quality ; Great portability

An IPS screen isn't standard ; No SD card slot

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (type 3444-2NM) Ultrabook review

Those of you looking for a business-ready Ultrabook will love the ThinkPad X1 Carbon

Build quality ; Keyboard ; Large, smooth touchpad ; Fast SSD

Vertical viewing angles a little narrow ; RAM not upgradeable ; Non-standard SSD ; Pricey

Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon is aimed at business users who need an Ultrabook management features and better security than a standard model. It's well built, quite comfortable to use, and performs quite well. However, it's not a user-serviceable unit...

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 (1291-23M) ultraportable laptop

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 review: A 13in semi-rugged ultraportable with a full-voltage Core i5 CPU

Semi-rugged design ; Full-voltage Intel Core i5 CPU ; Solid state drive

Touchpad could be better ; Had problems recognising SIM cards ; Could use more premium features

The ThinkPad X1 is the type of laptop that no reviewer wants to give back to the vendor. It feels solidly built and great to use, but it could be better. In particular, its touchpad needs refinement, it could use more premium features such as an...
