Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Touch

 

A 14-inch business laptop that charges to more than 70% in just 30-minutes.

Excellent performance ; Stylish, compact design ; Extremely fast charge times ; Ruggedly built to last

Poor screen quality for the price ; Expensive

On the plus side, the bezel around the edge is nicely thin allowing for more screen real estate (though the top and bottom sides are slightly thicker for a ‘letterbox’ style appearance), it has decent viewing angles, and its touch functionality works...

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon

 

This ThinkPad takes the executive Ultrabook to new heights.

Stylish, light and sleek ; Superb backlit, spill-proof keyboard ; Durable soft-touch finish ; Powerful specs ; Good high-res screen

No Ethernet port ; Screen panel still TN

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is everything the original X1 should have been. Though its TN screen doesn’t quite match up to the premium style, build and features of this stunning Ultrabook, in every other regard it’s easily the best business...

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon review

 

This business laptop (almost) has it all

Clever adaptive keyboard ; Fantastic design ID ; Unmatched inputs

Generally dim screen ; Average battery life ; No SD card reader

Lenovo's latest business laptop offers nearly the whole package: a pretty profile, performance and a clever adaptive keyboard.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch review

 

The Thinkpad ultrabook gets a high-end Windows 8 touch

Slim build ; Top power ; Decent screen ; Business features ; Lightweight

No Ethernet ; Poor battery ; High price ; Fiddly trackpad

On the surface, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch is one of the best built and best performing laptops we've reviewed. The quality and design is stunning, and it's able to smoke even the toughest tasks with ease. However, if the high price didn't mar...

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Ultrabook

 

Lugging around a hefty laptop can feel like a bag full of rocks over the shoulder. Not so with the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, a carbon-fibre chassis laptop with a 14-inch screen that weighs in at 1.4kg. Although it's fairly pricey considering what's...

Tough carbon finish, trackpad feels great, backlit keyboard is comfortable for long typing periods, thin and light

The screen’s pixels are visible and headache inducing, it’s pricey, no Ethernet port, ThinkPad logo too prominent, not as light as some competition, pricier than a MacBook Air

Although it’s fairly pricey considering what’s under the hood, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon has a lot going for it. It’s tough, thin, light and, ignoring the twice-used ThinkPad logo that mars an otherwise attractive exterior, is an understated...

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch video review - impressive touchscreen Ultrabook

 

With lid closed the top of the chassis is a uniform sheet of black with just a Lenovo logo bottom right, and a ThinkPad badge bottom right - the dot of the i in ThinkPad glows red when your laptop is working.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch touchscreen Ultrabook review

 

We really like the keyboard. As with other Lenovo keyboards the bottom of the scrabble tile keys is curved, giving you extra space when typing. And the size is good anyway. Typing is a good experience, with a couple of caveats peculiar to Lenovo. At...

Like all Ultrabooks the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch offers decent performance in a portable package. We love the Carbon Touch's build and design, and the screen is great. Performance is solid. If you need a portable touchscreen laptop for your working...

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon review

 

The Lenovo lacks a dedicated wired ethernet port, instead offering integrated 3G (not 4G) cellular broadband. According to Lenovo, the chipsets needed for PC 4G support would have taken up too much system board space and consumed too much power. You...

Lenovo's X1 Carbon offers an understated look and exotic chassis material, but the LCD panel display quality could be better.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch Review

 

Today we are taking a look at the latest ThinkPad X1 Carbon from Lenovo, which features a Multitouch screen. The review sample we received features a Core i7 processor, 240GB Solid State Drive and 8GB...

fantastic build quality ; responsive touchscreen ; class leading keyboard ; good SSD options ; quick charging

integrated graphics are weak ; Due a Haswell update ; touchscreen adds a fine layer of grain to the images ; battery life could be better ; audio is thin

Cyberlink PowerDVD 13 Ultra is one of the finest solutions for the BluRay experience on Windows and we found this software to work perfectly with this chipset.

Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Ultrabook Review

 

With the advent of Intel's efficient Ivy Bridge processors, manufacturers have been able to push the Ultrabook design to the next level without

Lenovo is one of the few companies which rarely missteps on their products. Nearly every one of them has been well thought out,
