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 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

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.
