Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11 review - The stagnating, expensive business flagship

Name: Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11-21HNS00000
Brand: Lenovo

New processor, same performance.

The ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11 is only a small update with a current Intel Raptor Lake processor that barely offers additional power plus the standard built-in, low-power display is getting on a bit now. So, is the high price justified?

Business Intel Evo Laptop ThinkPad Thunderbolt Ultrabook Windows

For many years, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon has been Lenovo's flagship business laptop. Its customers expect good input devices, a slim mobile design, up-to-date components, long battery life and, of course, a reliable everyday companion. In the meantime, we are now up to the 11th generation. So, we would like to find out whether these are fair demands put on the current ThinkPad X1 Carbon or if is it resting on the laurels of its previous success.

We are reviewing the 21HNS00000 variant with a Core i7-1365U, 32 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD as well as a low-power IPS display with Full HD resolution. It's possible to put together a similar configuration (no LTE) in Lenovo's online shop but for a relatively expensive price of around $2135.

Case & features

Lenovo has adopted the unchanged black case from last year's model. The combination of the lid's carbon fibre, and reinforced plastic as well as the base unit's magnesium aluminum alloy ensures an extremely stable case and the build quality is also impeccable. The smooth surfaces also feel great but have to be cleaned regularly as well-used areas start to look somewhat speckled, after a while - something we also experienced with the predecessor. We also compared the new G11 with our private G7 and the new model is a little thinner due to the 16:10 aspect ratio panel but also somewhat deeper. In terms of the base unit's thickness, there are no changes. At a little under 1.2 kg, the X1 Carbon G11 is still generally mobile and doesn't take up a lot of space in hand luggage.

When it comes to the ports, there is still a good selection including Thunderbolt 4, but, once again, an SD card reader is absent. Our review device is equipped with an LTE module including a Nano SIM slot which can even be optionally upgraded to a 5G module. The Wi-Fi module from Intel (AX211) corresponds to current standards and transfer rates in our Wi-Fi test were very good.

The webcam records images in Full HD resolution and the quality is decent under good lighting conditions. Additionally, functions such as soft focus, a virtual background or eye tracking are already built-in and can be found in the regular Windows camera app. However, it is questionable whether the 1080p camera and microphone's specs should be inscribed on the front of the lid.

Input devices - X1 Carbon still with 1.5 mm key travel

Nothing has changed in the area of input devices. While Lenovo has already reduced some of the ThinkPad model's key travel to 1.35 mm, the X1 Carbon has 1.5 mm and, overall, we are dealing with a very good keyboard, even though quality-wise, it doesn't hit the same heights as earlier models. On top of that, there are no longer any advantages compared to the premium business laptops from, for example, HP. Likewise, the glass touchpad works very well and offers solid, high-quality click sounds. The Trackpoint's dedicated keys are of lower quality and click a little louder.

Display - A low-power IPS panel

The 1920 x 1080 pixel, matte IPS panel is the one we've been familiar with for a few years now. The low-power panel is the base display and there are also optional versions with touchscreens, the ePrivacy screen as well as an OLED panel. However, we cannot recommend the latter two options as the OLED display suffers from PWM flickering and the battery life suffers hugely. Regarding the ePrivacy model, the viewing angles are quite limited, even in normal operation.

Basically, the low-power display's specs are decent but, considering it's 2023, Lenovo has room for improvement in some areas. For example, an increase in brightness and refresh rate. The subjective image quality remains good and bright areas don't come across as grainy. With Lenovo, it's a bit of a display panel lottery and the AU Optronics panel in the current device drops off a bit in terms of brightness with an average of 380 cd/m². Together with the slow response times, (there is a visible ghosting effect) the panel is far down the table of competing devices. However, the black level of 0.21 cd/m² is very low and leads to a maximum contrast ratio of over 1800:1.The display doesn't suffer from PWM and screen bleeding is largely absent.

* ... smaller is better

We measured the panel with the professional CalMAN software (X-Rite i1 Pro2) and, out-of-the-box, the image is a little too warm and also suffers from a yellow tint. For a business laptop, these values are acceptable. With our own calibration, we were able to improve the image (the profile can be downloaded above, free of charge) and only 100 % red remains an outlier. The panel covers the small sRGB color space and is sufficient for its intended use.

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
42.5 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 24.7 ms rise
42.5 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 17.8 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 98 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (20.7 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
64.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 30.7 ms rise
64.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 33.7 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 97 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (32.3 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 not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8437 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Outdoors, it's often possible to find a suitable position, but in direct sunlight, the matte panel would benefit from being a bit brighter.

Performance - The ThinkPad is equipped with a Raptor Lake U

Once again, Lenovo is offering U and P series processors, However, as we discovered last year, the P series CPUs are not worth it due to poor cooling. The RAM is soldered and cannot be expanded.

Test conditions

For some time now, Lenovo has linked the additional Vantage software power modes to Windows power settings. For this reason, the following benchmarks and measurements were carried out using the Best Performance mode.

Processor - A Core i7-1365U

The Raptor Lake generation Intel Core i7-1365U offers two fast performance cores at up to 5.2 GHz and eight efficiency cores with a maximum of 3.9 GHz, whereby the chip can process a maximum of 12 threads simultaneously. At the end of the day, we're dealing with the old Core i7-1265U at a slightly higher clock rate. As a U series chip, the nominal TDP sits at 15 watts, but, for a short time, the i7 inside the X1 Carbon can consume up to 55 watts which the cooling can only deal with for around one second. In every scenario, under continuous load, we observed fluctuating power consumption between 12 to 34 watts meaning the new model is only slightly ahead of its G10 predecessor. AMD processors are hard to come by in high-end business laptops and especially when it comes to multi-core performance, the Ryzen CPUs have a clear advantage. For this reason, it's not worth upgrading from last year's model and also because of the Raptor Lake P chip's poor cooling. In battery mode, the CPU performance is reduced slightly (~8 %) and additional CPU benchmarks can be found here.

Mass storage

Lenovo equips the ThinkPad X1 Carbon with PCIe 4.0 SSDs - in our case the 1 TB version of the WD SN810. After the first start-up, the user has 902 GB at their disposal. The transfer rates are good but this high level cannot be maintained under constant load. However, that doesn't matter in everyday office use. Other SSD benchmarks are available here.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11-21HNS00000: Ø6247 (2776-6945.19)

Graphics card

The graphics card is the familiar Xe Graphics G7 from Intel, which has been in operation for some time now. This is certainly sufficient power for everyday office tasks. Also, the playback of high-resolution videos didn't present any problems. However, the performance wasn't stable and the device failed the 3DMark Time Spy stress test (75.8 %). In our Witcher 3 loop, we also observed significant fluctuations which reduces the iGPU's already limited gaming capabilities even further.

In battery mode, the performance is around an additional 10 % lower. Additional GPU benchmarks can be found here.

Emissions & energy

Noise emissions

In terms of the fans, the processor's high power limit makes itself known as both small fans have a lot to do under load. At a maximum of 42.7 dB(A) they also get too loud for this performance class. You have to be critical here and ask the question of why a U series processor runs with such high power limits. We were unable to detect additional electronic noises.

Temperature

There were no issues when it came to simple tasks but as soon as the processor was put under heavier load, the top left of the base unit gets heated up very quickly. In this area of the device, we measured up to 45 °C which is simply too much considering the loud fans and low performance. For this reason, Lenovo should give the model's cooling an overhaul.

In the stress test, we experienced the same behaviour as seen with the CPU load. The CPU briefly reached 55 watts and then started to vary in an area between 12 to 34 watts and stayed there for the remainder of the test.

Speakers

The speakers continue to be very good, especially for a business device. In this area, the X1 Carbon shouldn't feel the need to hide, even from subnotebooks such as the Huawei Matebook X Pro. Your expectations should be kept in check when it comes to bass but, despite this, the quality is sufficient for video conference calls and the like.

Power consumption

Overall, the power consumption is very inconspicuous and the device is also very efficient in idle use. In the stress test, we briefly measured ~64 watts with the consumption quickly settling to between 20 to 45 watts, following the fluctuations we also observed in the test. All in all, the compact 65-watt power adapter (313 grams) is well-sized.

Battery life

When it comes to the X1 Carbon's battery life, its low-power display helps show its best side. At 150 cd/m² (representing 78 % of the display's maximum brightness) we recorded a runtime of around 14 hours in both the video and Wi-Fi tests. Even at full brightness, the Wi-Fi test still ran for around 10 hours and under load, the device gave up the ghost after one and a half hours. As a comparison: Last year's OLED model only managed 5 hours in our Wi-Fi test - a full 9 hours less. With the laptop switched on, a complete charge takes 113 minutes; but after about 39 minutes, 60 % battery is available to the user.

Verdict - The X1 Carbon has performance issues

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11 review. Review device provided by:

The G11 generation of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a fairly small update with a Raptor Lake processor and can now be optionally fitted with a 5G module. The rest of the device has remained the same including the display option. The standard, built-in, lower-power display is still a good choice but we would like to see the business laptop get an upgrade. For example, a premium IPS panel with better brightness, decent response times and a higher refresh rate. The OLED option (that we reviewed in the G10 model) is, in our opinion, not a good option, despite the good image quality (PWM flickering, massively reduced battery life) and also the ePrivacy screen has problems with heavily limited viewing angles (even when the integrated privacy filter is deactivated).

However, we are surprised that Lenovo has not managed to get to grips with the power delivery, with not much else being new. It's worth posing the critical question of why the power limits are set so high considering the limited cooling performance. In short benchmarks performance is good but the user is unlikely to feel the benefits especially when the performance quickly dips and the fans get really loud.

The ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11 has performance issues on its hands and, all in all, the Raptor Lake chip doesn't offer any noteworthy improvements. An update is due, especially when it comes to the basic display. However, the X1 Carbon also has many positive aspects in the form of a solid case, extensive features and a very long battery life.

The X1 Carbon still offers many advantages, starting with the robust case, excellent selection of ports (with an optional 5G module), a good keyboard (even though it used to be better), proficient speakers as well as a long-lasting battery paired with the low-power display. However, at $2135 (no LTE), it's hardly a bargain and at this price, you shouldn't be having to deal with performance issues.

I grew up with modern consumer electronics and my first computer was a Commodore C64, which encouraged my interest in building my own systems. I started working as a review editor for Notebookcheck during my dual studies at Siemens. Currently, I am mainly responsible for dealing with business laptops and mobile workstations. It’s a great experience to be able to review the latest devices and technologies and then compare them with each other.

My lifelong passion for tech was born in a gadget-filled household in Scotland. From games consoles to cameras to computers. Early adopters, so early the phrase might have been coined with our family in mind. On finishing school, I trained and qualified as a golf professional before moving to Germany, where I have worked and lived for over 30 years. In 2002, I formed a successful English language centre, providing training, translations and digital learning systems to numerous businesses in the Rhein Neckar metropole area. Whether augmented or virtual reality, smart devices, mobile technology, sustainable environmental solutions, the tech world is as exciting now as it has ever been. Working with Notebookcheck allows me to combine my love of both tech and language.
