[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best laptop ever !! if you are looking for a lightweight AND performance, the X1 Carbon is for you !
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the speed and performance of this laptop. I bought for the office and now wanting to buy another for personal us.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for something light, fairly small, long battery life, but fast with decent memory and disk. I use it a lot while traveling for personal and work use, as well as at home for personal and work use. This seems to be exactly what I need.Also I wanted keyboard backlit, which this has (3 modes off low and high light). I will also look for a slimmer power cord (I think Lenova sells one) as it is a bit too bulker for my travel (though smaller than my last laptop). I did not get the touch screen version - I wanted to try for longer battery life, plus the model without the touch screen seems to have better processer (and I really dont feel I need touch screen). Key board is comfortable to use, touchbad responds well (though when not traveling I use an external mouse due to De Quervain's tenosynovitis). Microphone works great, use it for language course, and skype/zoom calls. Speaker is good for all of this too - havent used it for music. And camera works well for skype/zoom also. It does lie flat, havent found a use for that yet. I would have like to be able to put it in tent shape for following recipes (so I dont get bits in the keyboard!), I know its not touch screen but usually I'm not scrolling then, and can always use the mouse. But not a big deal for me. I would also like an easy option to keep screen on (again for following recipes etc). Maybe there is one, but I havent found it yet. You can go into the powersettings and change the minutes before screen off, sleep etc, but would be nice to do with one control click/button. I was also lookiing for a screen I could see outside. So far so good, seems very low reflection, but there hasn't been a really sunny outside day yet to give it a good test!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using an X1 Gen 4 for several years now. It was so good that I had no real reason to get a new computer. Except it does not directly support Windows 11. Since I am certain my customers will upgrade to 11, I thought I should get a newer computer. I have been using Thinkpads since 1992 and, while I have considered other brands, I have always come back. The new X1 is a dream. It does everything I could ask (and more!) Faster, lighter, and STILL has the best keyboard out there. This is (once again) the very best computer I have ever owned.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great super lightweight laptop. The only thing missing to my mind is an sd card slot. Solid construction, keyboard and trackpad have a good feel with good processing performance.
