[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pleasantly surprised with my new X1 Gen 12, but there was a low bar. This is my 5th Thinkpad in 20 years, and the Gen 10 only lasted 18 months - 3 hr battery, touchpad broke, integrated camera stopped working, and onboard mic stopped working.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never had a laptop this nice before. It's extremely fast and is able to run all of my programs flawlessly and simultaneously as an estimator. I would highly recommend this product for anyone else who works from their laptop. Works great with docking station as well!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a preconfigured Thinkpad X1C Gen 12 with the IPS HD display, 32 GB RAM, and 512 MB SSD. Computer is very fast and able to handle significant activity such as keeping several browser tabs open and working within multiple Excel spreadsheets and running complex calculations within Excel. Battery life is more than enough so far, and it is easy to adjust power settings to optimize battery vs. performance. I plug into an external monitor mostly, but when using the laptop itself, screen quality is excellent, no glare.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The X1 Carbon has been great so far! Ive bought it for college and it handles CADing, PCB, Schematics, and many other softwares incredibly well. Its also very light which makes it easy to carry around. The screen however could use an upgrade with a 120hz refresh rate and higher resolution. Overall, its a solid laptop
So far, so good. Needed a pc vs Mac for school and this definitely is better suited to what I needed it for. The facial and finger print recognition isn’t nearly as good as any apple/Mac product and could use some tweaking to be more consistent. Otherwise, works as described. Has a lot of nice features. Still getting used to switching back from a Mac though.
