[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This computer was my first attempt to move from Windows 10 to Windows 11. Not too surprising were the big problems getting the computer to connect to my existing WiFi printer. I will admit that I do not know how many more of the setup problems that I experienced are due to Microsoft or Lenovo. They made it very challenging to set the system up to be independently used by more than one person. I can't help but wonder if that isn't intentional to sell more product.
Once I got it set up, it performs about the same as my 4/5 year old ThinkPad X1 (silver) with an i7 processor running Windows 10. I can only guess that Windows 11 requires the extra processor performance and features to support it, compared to Windows 10 (this is not uncommon for Microsoft).
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laptop is lightweight, fast and just what I need for my everyday use. I am looking forward to using this computer for a long time.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Finally made the switch back to Lenovo for my business. Can't be happier with the performance and reliability. Back in the day I used only IBM. Since then, I've used every major brand. After using my new Lenovo for the past two months, I am definitely never going to be using anything else.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 Intel 14" in Eclipse Black with the Classic Black top cover, and I couldn't be happier with my choice.
Firstly, the 14" screen is the perfect size—large enough for comfortable viewing but still compact enough to fit easily into my small backpack or briefcase. This makes it incredibly portable and ideal for both personal and business use. The lightweight design adds to its portability, making it easy to carry around without any hassle.
In terms of performance, this laptop is a powerhouse. It runs all kinds of applications smoothly and efficiently, from basic everyday tasks to more demanding professional software. The speed is impressive, ensuring that I can get my work done quickly and effectively.
The only downside I've noticed is that it isn't a touchscreen. While this isn't a deal-breaker for me, it would have been a nice addition. Because of this, I would rate it 4.5 stars, but I'm still giving it a full 5 stars overall because of its outstanding performance and portability.
Overall, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 is a fantastic laptop that I highly recommend for anyone in need of a reliable, fast, and portable device for both personal and business use.
After bad experiences with Dell XPS (needed motherboard replacement after 30 days), HP Spectre (display intermittently turned off), and Dell Latitude (battery bulge and extremely tight USB port), I have finally had a good experience with the Thinkpad X1 Carbon. This laptop has a great display and keyboard, works great, and is generally quiet - and I have sensitive ears. I use it for personal purposes and to play around with Excel sheets (I use Excel a lot for work.)
