11, hour battery life claim, 16GB of RAM, WQHD screen
Pricey, Marginal upgrade to 2015, No touchscreen

Rugged quality, Trackpointer is still excellent, Strong processor performance, Excellent battery life
Not the thinnest or lightest, Mediocre SSD and graphics performance, Expensive
Lenovo's flagship ThinkPad has aged well. While it doesn't seem as svelte as it once did, it remains a ruggedly built, quick machine with outstanding portability. There are elements that could be better, such as the display, but the Carbon proved at leas...
