[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon – it's like the business laptop that never gets old. This latest version is still a champ, with that same amazing build quality and that iconic keyboard that feels like home.
**What I loved:**
* **Rock-solid build:** This thing feels like it could survive a drop (though I wouldn't recommend testing it!). It's super light, so carrying it around all day isn't a chore. * **The keyboard is a legend:** Seriously, typing on this thing is a joy. The keys have that perfect amount of travel, and the TrackPoint is still the best for quick cursor movements. * **Display is a treat:** Crisp, clear, and easy on the eyes. Perfect for those long workdays. * **Powerhouse performance:** This thing can handle anything I throw at it, from video calls to demanding spreadsheets. * **Battery life is a beast:** I can easily get through a full workday without needing to hunt for a charger.
**What could be better:**
* **Pricey:** Let's be real, this isn't cheap. * **Port selection could be a bit beefier:** More Thunderbolt 4 ports wouldn't hurt. * **Can get a bit toasty:** Under heavy load, it can get a little warm, but it's not a dealbreaker.
**Overall:**
The X1 Carbon is still the king of the business laptop hill. If you're a professional who needs a reliable, powerful, and portable machine, you won't be disappointed. It's an investment, but for many, it's worth every penny.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I initially had problems with flickering display while using the display ports on the dock. After support from Lenovo tech team, we discovered that there was a setting in the dock that need to be changed. This discovery happened only after swapping cables and docks with a new one. I'm very happy we found the problem and fixed the problem but it did take a lot of debug time to get to the solution and multiple trips to the UPS store to return cables and the original dock all of which weren't the problem.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great laptop. I was issued one for work and my thought was "great another piece of corporate junk." After using it for a few months, I had to have one as my personal laptop. I am so happy to have this ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 for my personal computing needs. First and foremost it is lightweight. When caring a tablet and TWO laptops, weight is a major factor. The two Laptops (both ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12s) are lighter than the darn tablet with a smart keyboard by itself. The tablet now stays at home since I can do way more with the two laptops.
The second major factor is Battery Life. This thing lasts and lasts and last. I love it.
By far this is the best laptop I have ever used both personally and professionally over a 30 year career.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second personal thinkpad and no other laptops are as reliable and well built when it comes to windows laptops.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is going to be used for my personal laptop to trip planning and other leisure items. It has been great so far!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The configuration of this laptop is perfect for work and personal use. Convenience features like fingerprint reader and physical cover for the camera as well as the multitude of up-to-date and legacy ports allows for any needed peripherals. Input from Zoom and Google Meet attendants is that the mic on the computer is better than the Jabra external speaker/mic I have been using. Loving this Laptop!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 9 for a few weeks, and I’m really impressed with its versatility. The 360-degree hinge lets me easily switch between laptop and tablet modes, which is perfect for my work and leisure needs. The performance, powered by the latest Intel processors, is smooth and fast, handling everything I throw at it without a hitch. The display is sharp and vibrant, making it a joy to use for both work and watching content. While it’s on the pricey side, the build quality and reliability make it worth the investment.
