Hands-on at CES 2014: A serious Ultrabook for serious people

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2014 edition deserves to make a bit more of an impact than the last model, which still lagged behind a little in terms of screen tech. This version has it all, it seems, although there is a chance its clever adaptive...

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

As classy as it may be, this business ultrabook comes tough to recommend due to its hefty price tag and lackluster lasting power. On the surface, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch is one of the best built and best performing laptops we've reviewed....

Lenovo ThinkPad Carbon X1 review (2014)

 

Serious laptops don't have to be dull anymore. Just a few years ago, we'd have avoided those designed for business folk like we would a swaying drunk on the train - but the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon proves that Ultrabooks fit for business are now good...

Practical matte finish screen, supremely well equipped, very portable, tough carbon fibre construction, trackpad and keyboard comfortable for long periods of use, thin and light

Expensive, keyboard and function key changes will polarise opinion, ThinkPad logo might polarise opinion too, far pricier than a MacBook Air

The Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon isn't the right laptop for everyone. If you want to look cool in Starbucks, are out to spend as little as possible or want to play games, you're probably in the wrong place (although the X1 Carbon will breeze through any...

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon ultraportable laptop review

 

It was updated last year in 2013, and again this year to form the Lenovo ThinkPad New X1 Carbon for 2014. Various configurations are available, currently starting at £1110 for a basic model that includes a 1600 x 900 TN display and the consumer version...

There's no denying the portable nature of this thin 'n' light laptop, even if it is undercut in both metrics by a 13.3-inch MacBook Air. The ThinkPad's processor performance is fractionally faster thanks to its 0.1 GHz advantage over the latter, but...

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon review

 

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a truly portable thin-and-light laptop that offers better screen image quality and keyboard than the MacBook Air, but suffers in terms of battery life. Here's our Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon ultraportable laptop review.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon review (2014)

 

The 2014 ThinkPad gets updated input, but is it necessary?

Great build quality; Anti-reflective screen coating is handy; Good for long-form typing; Security features; 4G an option

No sd card slot; Expensive; Polarising keyboard changes

Despite some unnecessary input changes, the X1 Carbon remains a top professional Ultrabook.
