It's my 3rd X1 and it's the best one yet ....

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had an X1 Carbon Gen 6. For the time, it was a great device. Turns out soaking it for 3 days in a backpack with an open water bottle wasn't the best plan .... it was in COVID and I could get my hands on a X1 Nano Gen 2 easier. I really liked the device ... it worked well for my workflow. My only two irritants were battery life (like 2.5 hours with my workflow) and severe throttling when working it hard (regularly I use all of my laptops in a docking station when in the office).
Enter the X1 Carbon Gen 13. Note, the Aura Edition has the Lunar Lake chip (Intel® Core™ Ultra 7). With the 258v chip this thing is FAST for typical office "stuff" ... inclusive of light Adobe Products. The battery is perfectly adequate in that I haven't had to change my workflow when on battery and haven't needed to obsess about the closest plug. If I needed to truly optimize everything for long battery life (international flights, etc) I'm sure I could get 10+ hours out of it (maybe more).
My business requires rock solid dependable tools. I don't need the most cutting edge; I need something with longevity that I can trust. I consider ThinkPad's the Toyota of the computer world. If they wanted to get more performance they could, but they'd give up dependability. This device is in the perfect spot of the Venn Diagram.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice little laptop with very good display. The integrated Arc graphics is not as fast as I as used to with a discrete graphics card but is certainly good enough for 99% of my usage. It weighs slightly more than 2lbs which is half the weight of my previous Lenovo so portability is good. I need to get used to the power switch being on the side instead of the top.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i really like the design as it looks sleek, also lightweight very easy to carry around, but the fan noise and not-that-impressive battery even with 258V.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lightweight and fastest notebook I've purchased for work. I purchased it to replace my 5-year old ThinkPad X1 Carbon which continues to work like a champ. Would not hesitate to purchase this system.

From the reviews I read prior to purchase, I was expecting something unusually good, and I was not disappointed. So far the only fault I find is with the Touch pad, which is not very sensitive, and hard to control. Fortunately, the other mouse keys and trackball are very useful, But the performance of the Touch pad is a fundamental tool, and I want it to work flawlessly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was easy to navigate the website, compare products and complete the purchase.
The product is performing well so far. It was easy and straight forward to setup. The fan is noisy when performing certain operations.
