[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our third ThinkPad X1 Carbon. Light, strong, good battery life, high quality. We think they have the best keyboard of any laptop and are built strong. Each one has lasted years and year with no issues.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was great until it wasn't. One of the USBC port stopped working in less than a month.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Dave,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re glad to hear that your ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 was working well initially, but we’re truly sorry to learn that one of the USB‑C ports stopped functioning within the first month. That’s certainly not the level of quality or reliability we aim to deliver. We understand how frustrating it can be when a key port fails so soon after purchase. If you haven't already, please get in touch with our customer support team at 1-855-253-6686. We look forward to addressing the concerns and resolving the issue.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laptop is very efficient. I had no issues with it. It is also light, fast and amazing to type in. Highly recommend it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love X1 Carbon ThinkPads. I purchased this 12th Gen version to replace my 5th Gen. The machine is light and sleek with good battery life, a great display, and a familiar feeling keyboard. The only issue I've had with it was a powering on issue that appears to have been resolved by recalibrating the battery.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The X1 continues to perform!!! This computer is a for work and meets/exceeds everything I need to be effective
