[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the perfect model for both my work from home and for business travel meetings. A powerful machine with excellent display. Super lightweight machine but doesn't look cheap. Even though I hardly use laptop speakers, I am surprised by the good quality audio.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The X1 has been lovely so far. It has basically done the business applications that I have asked it to do with ease and without issue. The battery life has been amazing so far. The look is also sleek and professional, which is much of what I like to have it for in court (I'm an attorney). Despite its size, the selection of ports is also great, with USB-C, -A and HDMI. It's everything I was looking for there.
I love music and movies and sound on this little thing has been great. A wonderful suprise from such a tiny little package.
This is my first ThinkPad. The red dot mouse is a nice novelty, but honestly, my chubby fingers could do without it in the middle of the keyboard. Unfortunately, while I had read about the 'legendary' keyboard that ThinkPads are known for, I had not really anticipated that the function key would be located where the Control is on basically all other keyboards. I love using keyboard shortcuts where possible, and getting used to that weird control key has been a challenge and would be a 'do-over' consideration here as well for me. Again, the main purpose of this thing is for work and drafting documents. If I can figure out a hack to reprogram the Fn and Control on the left hand, I might go for it.
I also was looking for something that was rugged that I can take with me everywhere and getting as much power for the weight as possible. This seems to be doing the trick on those all of those fronts. While I wish I had gotten a slightly larger screen, I recognize I cannot have both (lightweight and large screen). I think I would definitely not go any smaller than this size in the future and might consider slightly larger next time around. My last laptop (which was a wonderful workhorse for me and has only been retired because the screen does not always power up reliably anymore) was a Yoga 900-13ISK bought in 2015-16. That was listed as a 13.3 inch display and almost seems like a larger screen size compared to the X1 here (the laptop itself was larger in dimensions).
With all of that said, it is still relatively early in my use of X1. Looking forward to a few upcoming trips and seeing this baby shine with airplane travel (my other big interest in getting the X1). All in all, very happy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought the laptop as needed a reliable, fast, and secure laptop, and it's been fantastic so far! All the reviews I had read and which drew to me to it have been spot on.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am totally happy and satisfied with my brand new ThinkPad X1. Great performance, speed, processing time, weight, and ready to perform at any moment.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned a few ThinkPads and have always liked the mid-keyboard pointer and excellent keyboard. This newest incarnation does not disappoint. Keyboard feel is important to me and particularly buying online I was concerned about alternatives. I am particularly pleased with the ability to use it on a tray on a flight. I bought an portable ViewSonic panel monitor which pairs well with this unit. The X1 Carbon has met or exceeded my expectations.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this laptop for around a month, and I couldn't be happier. It's a compact machine, ideal for anyone looking for a perfect size. Its lightweight nature makes it feel like carrying air in my backpack. The keyboard buttons are incredibly gentle on the fingertips, providing a delightful typing experience. Both the webcam and microphone perform admirably during Zoom meetings. Moreover, the battery life is impressive, and charging is quick. I wholeheartedly recommend it, rating it 10/10.
