Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G10 Laptop Review: Alder-Lake P28 without great effect

Flagship with Intel problems. For the first time, Lenovo is offering the ThinkPad X1 Carbon with a stronger class of processors than the U series. Our comprehensive review of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G10 with Alder-Lake P28 shows: It is hardly worth it.

Benjamin Herzig 👁, ✓ Anton Avdyushkin (translated by Benjamin Herzig), Published 06/24/2022 🇩🇪 🇨🇳 ...

A decade of laptop design culminates in today's review unit, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10. As the name implies, it is the tenth generation of the X1 Carbon series, which was first released in the year 2012. Compared to that first model, a lot of things have changed, but in comparison to the ThinkPad X1 Carbon G9, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon G10 is not a huge update.

The focus is clearly on the innards and the new processors of the Intel Alder Lake P28 series. The U15 series is also available, which has a lower core count. Our review device contains the Intel Core i5-1250P, a processor with twelve cores (4 P + 8 E), and vPro Enterprise features supported. It also has 16 GB RAM, a 512 GB SSD, and an FHD Low Power screen.

Classic ThinkPad chassis: X1 Carbon G10

Lenovo uses the same chassis design for at least two generations. As the ThinkPad X1 Carbon G9 was a huge redesign, the X1 Carbon G10 is a refresh, which keeps the old design intact. It is a chassis that is mature enough for everyday use. A more detailed description of the chassis and its quality can be found in our comprehensive review of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9.

The X1 Carbon is using a classic ThinkPad design and typical ThinkPad materials - it is completely clad in black, and true black at that. It is not the very dark grey used on other 2022 ThinkPads, such as the ThinkPad T14 G3. The chassis is also completely rubberized, which makes the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 reminiscent of the ThinkPad X300 from the year 2008. The disadvantage of this type of coating: it is very fingerprint/smudge prone.

With the new ThinkPad Z series, Lenovo has released a competing high-end design - is the X1 Carbon outdated compared with these "new generation" ThinkPads? We would not say that, but there are aspects of the visual design that could be changed. For example, we think the big X1 logo on the palmrest is superfluous. Also, to clean up the design, the screen hinges could be black again, like they were for older X1 Carbon models. Lastly, smaller screen bezels would be welcome, which could be achieved by making the chassis smaller or using a bigger 14.5-inch display.

There is one relevant design change: Lenovo had to implement a little reverse notch to implement the new webcams. The small protrusion at the center of the screen makes it easier to open the screen. Models with the new webcams, like the reviewed variant, are 0.5 mm thicker than the preceding model.

Connectivity: SD card reader still missing from the ThinkPad X1 Carbon

There are no changes to the ports: the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2022 offers Thunderbolt 4 as well as legacy ports like USB A and HDMI, despite the compact chassis. We do miss an SD card reader with this model.

Communication

Compared with the predecessor, the Intel Wireless AX211 (2x2) has been added as a new option, which is also present in our review sample. Different from the AX201, the AX211 supports the new standard WiFi 6E. We did not use it in our test, but the WiFi module is still faster than the AX201 of the X1 Carbon G9.

In the benchmarks, the WiFi performance is mostly stable.

Webcam

Normally, there is little to write about when it comes to laptop cameras, but with the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G10, the webcam is an important part of the conversation. Lenovo has upped the resolution from 720p to 1080p, and the X1 Carbon G10 also uses an f/2.0 aperture, which should improve low light performance.

The camera is a huge improvement compared with the X1 Carbon Gen 9, but it is still miles apart from a selfie camera of a smartphone.

Security

The X1 Carbon 2022 offers most of the typical business features, like dTPM 2.0, a Kensington lock slot, or a fingerprint reader. At the same time smartcard reader is not on board, although you will find on regular T/X ThinkPads. New is the Computervision feature for the webcam with "Human Presence Detection". The system recognizes if the user is stepping away from the device, and automatically locks it. This function is optional and can be disabled in the Lenovo Commercial Vantage app.

Accessories

In the box, there is the 65 W charger with a USB-C plug and no other accessories. Praiseworthy: the box and the outer packaging are completely made out of paper for the first time. Lenovo dispensed the plastics used here before.

Maintenance

There are no changes to the maintenance design of the predecessor. The Carbon fiber bottom cover can be easily removed, only five screws and a few clips at the back of the system have to be loosened. The M.2 2280 SSD is upgradeable, the RAM is soldered. The same is true for the WiFi module. On the other hand, a WWAN card can be slotted in, since our model has the antennas and the SIM slot. But only 4G is possible, as 5G requires additional antennas.

Warranty

In the tested configuration, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 has three years of warranty, which includes on-site service. In case of a defect, the Lenovo laptop will be repaired at the home or workplace of the customers. This is only true for the country the device was bought in. Internationally, it is a standard depot warranty.

Input devices: Very good ThinkPad keyboard

Keyboard

Lenovo uses almost the same keyboard as with the predecessor X1 Carbon G9, but the chiclet keyboard with the backlight and six rows of keys is changed in one aspect: the keys of the first row and the keys on the left and right edge of the keyboard, like Enter, Ctrl or Shift, are now square instead of rounded. The typing feel is not affected, it is purely a visual change. The keyboard is still very comfortable, with 1.5 mm travel, a good layout, and a very satisfying typing experience. That being said, older ThinkPads with more travel are better.

Touchpad

Among the ThinkPads, the X1 models have a special position, as they are the only devices with a glass touchpad - though, this really is not true anymore, as the ThinkPad Z series is being released at the moment and it also has a glass touchpad. The comparison with the Z series is interesting, as the ThinkPad Z13 has a new touchpad design without dedicated TrackPoint buttons. This function is fulfilled by the haptic feedback.

In contrst to that, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon G10 still has the classic configuration with dedicated TrackPoint buttons and a mechanical touchpad, which only clicks in the lower part of the trackpad area. The touchpad is comparably smaller, which does not diminish its quality. The smooth surface enables effortless gliding of the fingers and a precise manipulation of the mouse cursor, as well as gestures like Zooma. The click mechanism is also of high quality.

The TrackPoint with its three buttons completes the input devices. It works better for drag and drop than the touchpad and enables quickly moving the cursor while typing. In total, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 still has input devices that only a few laptops can rival.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G10: Barely any backlight bleeding

For a refresh like the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G10, a possible venue for changes is the screen. This is true here as well, as Lenovo uses the opportunity to introduce new screen options. But in the case of our review device, the 14-inch 16:10 screen we are reviewing was available in the predecessor already:

WUXGA/FHD+ (1.920 x 1.200), IPS, 400 cd/m², 100 % sRGB, matte, Low Power

(the screen of our configuration in bold, the new screen options in italic)

It even is the exactly same AUO panel we already tested with the X1 Carbon G9. With the newer ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10, the brightness is reduced to 362 cd/m², below the advertised 400 cd/m². Otherwise, the screen is practically identical.

* ... smaller is better

Ex factory, the colors are slightly too warm, which we measured with CalMan and the X-Rite i1 Pro 2 color spectrophotometer. Calibrated with the X-Rite i1 Profiler, the colors are pretty neutral, with the biggest remaining inaccuracy in the red color space. The ICC profile we created is available for free download.

The small sRGB color gamut is almost completely covered, which makes the LCD usable for simple photo editing.

Due to the matte screen surface, the display is usable outdoors, though the missing nits of the panel used here are noticeable.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
24 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 12 ms rise
24 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 12 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 46 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (21.9 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
45.5 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 20 ms rise
45.5 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 25.5 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 74 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (34.5 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM detected

53050 Hz

≤ 100 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 53050 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 53050 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering.

In comparison: 54 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18982 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Performance: Intel Alder Lake P28 does not last long in the X1 Carbon 2022

ThinkPads are known for having many configurations available. With the ThinkPad X1 Carbon G10, Lenovo makes choosing the right model even more complicated, as there are now two different classes of CPUs available: Intel Alder Lake in its U15 and P28 variants, with vPro Enterprise and vPro Essential versions. AMD CPUs are not on the table, and neither are dedicated GPUs.

The soldered memory is upgraded to LPDDR5-5200, with a maximum of 32 GB. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2022 still has an M.2 2280 slot for a maximum of 2 TB.

Test conditions

Lenovo uses the Windows energy settings for power management. For our tests, we are using the mode "best performance" and disabled the Lenovo Intelligent Cooling mode "Auto" (FN + T). This results in a short-term Powerlimit 1 of 55 W and a long-term Powerlimit 2 of 15 W. Our WiFi battery test was performed with the mode "Balanced" (PL1: 20 W / PL2: 11 W).

Processor

The Intel Core i5-1250P is a processor with four-plus eight asymmetrical cores (4 P + 8 E cores) of the newest generation Intel Alder Lake. As a CPU of the P class, it has a typical TDP of 28 W, though this is just a rough orientation. It is a vPro Enterprise variant of the Intel Core i5-1240P, which is almost identical to the i5-1250P (clock rates: P cores: 1.7 up to 4.4 GHz, E cores: 1.2 up to 3.3 GHz). Comparisons with other processors are possible with the CPU list.

The performance of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G10 is disappointing for us. The boost performance is very good, but the long-term multicore performance is bad. With the sustained load on all cores, the performance starts to deteriorate and falls below the preceding model ThinkPad X1 Carbon G9. The reason: the thermal limits are too strict, and the processor can not hold a power consumption of 20 W for long. A BIOS update could still change this.

Without a charger attached, the CPU performance is lower. Instead of 10,058 points in the 3DMark 11 Physics test, the X1 Carbon G10 only managed 8,773 points in battery mode. This equals a reduction of around 13 percent.

DPC latency

For working with audio, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2022 is not suitable, at least not in the reviewed configuration, since it has DPC latency problems. This holds true in the Youtube test as well, as there are dropped frames. Lenovo would have to release a driver update.

Storage

Lenovo uses the Samsung PM9A1, an NVMe SSD with the PCIe 4.0 standard. In this case, the SSD has a capacity of 512 GB. In the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G10, it works extremely fast. Under sustained load, the performance is not stable, likely due to heat management issues. This is something we observe more frequently with recent tests, so it seems it is not a Lenovo-exclusive problem.

Graphics

The Intel Xe Graphics G7 with 80 EUs is the iGPU of all i5 CPUs from the U/P-series for the years 2021 and 2022. Its performance is dependent on the system memory, as the iGPU does not have dedicated memory. In the case of the X1 Carbon G10, it is fast LPDDR5 memory in a quad-channel configuration, which is ideal for the Intel Xe. Despite this, the iGPU does not perform as well as it could, which is probably due to the thermal constraints of the ThinkPad laptop. The Dell Latitude 7420 with the same iGPU performs better in the 3DMark tests.

There is no performance reduction in battery mode.
