Unlike many an Ultrabook, there’s no mistaking this one for a MacBook Air, or even an Air wannabe. The X1 Carbon isn’t perfect, and that can make its relatively high price less palatable, but it does offer features you can’t get anywhere else, namely ThinkPad quality and a look that’s cool in that not-even-trying kind of way.

Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Ultrabook Review

Lenovo is one of the few companies which rarely missteps on their products. Nearly every one of them has been well thought out, painstakingly designed and, most importantly, well executed for its intended market. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon carries on the tradition in every respect but that doesn’t mean it is the perfect Ultrabook.

The ThinkPad brand has been successful for Lenovo, and before them IBM, but it is clear from the X1 Carbon that competing in a modern market takes style and performance in addition to high levels of build quality. After all your brand being certified for use by NASA on both the space shuttle and the International Space Station will only get you so far. (About 220 miles up?)

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is everything the original X1 should have been. Though its TN screen doesn’t quite match up to the premium style, build and features of this stunning Ultrabook, in every other regard it’s easily the best business ultraportable around. Its soft-touch chassis is a pleasure to carry or rest your hands on, and despite being stuffed with features, it retains an incredibly slim and sleek profile for a 14-inch machine. The Carbon’s keyboard quite simply offers the best typing experience of any Ultrabook. And though it packs some serious specs, it’s remarkably quiet even under load.

Lenovo’s first ThinkPad Ultrabook wasn’t up to scratch, but the firm has addressed criticisms and nailed it second time around. The familiar ThinkPad design and build quality mean it’ll stand the rigours of the office, the trackpad and keyboard are superb, and the screen’s better than ever thanks to an improved resolution and matte finish.

The ThinkPad X1 sells in India for a price of Rs 1,02,000, which might seem like a lot to a regular laptop customer. Add the fact that it’s very light and easy to carry around while still delivering a decent amount of performance and battery life. The price starts to make even more sense when you consider that the X1 is more of a rough, daily-use notebook that will give you company for the many years.

There are some minor niggles, but many will be willing to make such sacrifices in return for such a capable, business-focused Ultrabook. With the quality we’ve come to expect from the ThinkPad fold now matched with excellent all-round performance and a modicum of style, the X1 Carbon seizes the business Ultrabook crown and claims its rightful place on the PC Pro A-List.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a boardroom winner that offers great all-round performance and comfort in a lightweight package. The few niggles with the screen and connections aside, if we chose one Ultrabook to be our business companion, we'd hire the comfortable, high performance and long lasting Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon every time.

Lenovo's X1 Carbon delivers the ThinkPad business laptop in a super-slim ultrabook format, without compromising on performance or ruggedness. Like other ultrabooks, it is limited to an internal battery and cannot be docked to a desktop cradle. Pros: Thin and light, rugged carbon-fibre casing, ThinkVantage technologies. Cons: Integrated battery, no Ethernet port, no dock connector.

Although it’s fairly pricey considering what’s under the hood, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon has a lot going for it. It’s tough, thin, light and, ignoring the twice-used ThinkPad logo that mars an otherwise attractive exterior, is an understated good-looker too. Still, for a casual yet powerful commuter Ultrabook the X1 Carbon has got most things right. It’s attractive without being too showy, its diminutive size makes it the perfect on-the-go companion and, although it's pricey, that carbon fibre exterior should prove rugged and long lasting.

Other features of the X1 Carbon include a webcam and dual integrated microphones (on either side of the webcam), Bluetooth, dual-band Wi-Fi (Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205S), and mobile broadband and GPS (H5321 gw). We had no problems at all using the laptop on the Optus network with our iiNet SIM card. All we had to do was enter the correct APN through the Windows networking interface and we were up and running.

Intel HD Graphics 4000: Processor graphics card in the high end Ivy Bridge models. Offers a different clock speed in the different CPU models (ULV to desktop quad core) and therefore a different performance.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.

83.33%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
