[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the ThinkPad X1 Carbon to replace my trusty old ThinkPad 510. I tried out several other computers before coming back to the ThinkPad, mostly because of how much I like the keyboard and mousepad. The X1 Carbon is much faster than my old ThinkPad, and I love the touch screen. The only thing that seems to have dropped in quality is the sound system. Like others have mentioned, putting the speakers on the bottom of the laptop leads to muffling and weird sound distortions. If it weren't for that, this would be the perfect computer for me.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been using this as my home computer. Speed is great, and does everything I need it for. Have it set up on my data plan on Verizon and travel with it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with my X1 Carbon purchase. My third X1 Carbon and as always, excellent performance, best keyboard in the business and MS Excel's best friend - the red pointer. First time buying as a personal device and pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to set up with MS Office Professional, Acrobat, printer drivers and other software. Highly recommend for heavy Excel users and for business.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] lightweight, fast, durable. I write a lot and this computer has an excellent keyboard. all in all, very pleased.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this computer for work. It has kept up with the number of programs I run simultaneously so far. However, the hardware for connecting to the internet wirelessly is not the best. I am constantly running the troubleshooter to reconnect. After following the online Lenovo wireless remedy instructions the issue has improved, but has yet to be resolved.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The computer was delivered a week before I expected it and has worked like a champ since I took it out of the box. I cannot believe how light it is and how it meets my every need. Installing my software and implementing my settings was trivial compared to the effort I have put in on past upgrades.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The screen backlight went out within 1 week of use. I'm cautious of how this laptop will age.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
