The software
Strangely. For as mighty as the firmware on the trackpad and keyboard are
The business-facing software that Lenovo loads onto the X1 is more oppressive than you'll find from other OEMs—even repeat offenders like Asus and Sony. Things like a
Abstract: The new Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a gorgeous ultrabook that sets a new standard in the usually bland world of business PCs. Weighing just a hair under three pounds, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon packs a nice big 14″ display and lots of creature comforts that ...

Abstract: ThinkPad X1 CarbonThe X1 is as thin and light as a MacBook Air yet has the advantages a ThinkPad brings to the road Warrior. With a 14-inch IPS display that's crammed into a 13-inch chassis, the X1 at less than 3 lbs. is as portable as notebooks get.See t...

Abstract: The ThinkPad line has a deserved good reputation with road warriors and the latest model is sure to delight that group. Lenovo fit a 14-inch high-res (1600x900) display in the chassis thin enough to compare favorably with the 13-inch MacBook Air.Testing h...

Incredibly light for a 14-inch laptop, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is ruggedly built, and has a better keyboard than any ultrabook-style laptop, even Apple's MacBook Air
For such an expensive laptop, battery life is just so-so. Consumer-friendly options such as HDMI are missing
The business-oriented Lenovo ThinkPad X1 has a few quirks, but is otherwise a very impressive business-oriented ultrabook with strong crossover potential.
Oh my! Best touchpad surface ... ever!, Matte display!, Solid construction, Good overall performance
Gets pretty hot, No more slice battery option, 1600x900 is good ... 1080p would be better
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon takes almost everything that was great about last year's ThinkPad X1 and combines it with the latest Ultrabook technology to deliver an outstanding business Ultrabook. While most professionals looking for a thin and light lap...

I'm not going to lie – right now, I'm not going to drop any coin on one but there's a couple of good reasons for that. My Macbook Pro is still going strong and it's a lot of coin to drop on something that won't get daily use but if you're going to make us...
11hour battery life claim, 16GB of RAM, WQHD screen
Pricey, Marginal upgrade to 2015, No touchscreen
The 2015 version of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon was a solid performer. We expect the 2016 version to be equally solid with a few nifty enhancements added...

The ThinkPad lineup has existed for a long time now and Lenovo has done a fine job of re-introducing it in the form of Ultrabooks. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 3 is thin, lightweight and boasts the right features that a business laptop needs.The X1 may n...

The big issue with the X1 Carbon is its staggering price. Just like the pricey HP EliteBook Folio 1020, you'll have to wave goodbye to a huge chunk of your IT budget if you want a fully-loaded model equipped with a high-DPI touchscreen. Features such as 4...
Excellent, reliable performance, The very best keyboard and trackpad, Thin and solid build quality
Paradoxically glareprone antiglare coating, Still no SD card reader, Unimpressive battery life
The Lenovo X1 Carbon offers reliable performance with a stellar keyboard, but short battery life and a glare-filled screen are two untenable problems....
