Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G7 2020 Laptop Review: Same Look, New Processor

4K Comet Lake-U refresh. Lenovo has swapped out the older Whiskey Lake-U CPU for a newer Comet Lake-U one on this latest X1 Carbon refresh. Performance differences, however, are minimal meaning you won't miss much if you already own a 2018 or 2019 model.

Now in its 7th generation, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon series has been successful at attracting users who want a ThinkPad T series laptop without the girth, size, and weight normally associated with it. It's as close to a ThinkPad Ultrabook as you can get without sacrificing many of the features that have come to define a ThinkPad.

The unit we'll be looking at here comes equipped with the latest Intel Comet Lake-U Core i7-10510U CPU and a 4K UHD glossy display to replace last year's 2019 Whiskey Lake-U configurations. Its chassis is otherwise identical to the 2019 and 2018 models and so our comments on the ports, keyboard, speakers, and other physical features can be found on our existing reviews below.

Computer Upgrade King and Amazon have this exact SKU for $2300 USD. Direct competitors to the ThinkPad X1 Carbon include other thin-and-light business laptops like the HP EliteBook 1040 series, Dell Latitude 7000/9000 series, Microsoft Surface Laptop series, and the Toshiba Portege series.

Communication

The Intel 9560 comes standard for 802.11ac or Wi-Fi 5 connectivity. Unfortunately, Lenovo offers no AX200/AX201 options for Wi-Fi 6 connectivity but at least users can configure with optional WWAN 4G LTE CAT9 or upgrade to the Intel 9560 vPro. We're able to record average transfer rates of 1100 to 1200 Mbps when standing a meter away from our Netgear RAX200 Wi-Fi 6-enabled router.

Maintenance

Display

This is the first ThinkPad X1 Carbon we've tested with a 4K UHD display as all previous units would have FHD or WQHD panels instead. Its exact BOE NV140QUM-N53 IPS panel can be found on no other laptop in our database, but the latest Yoga C940 uses a very similar BOE NV140QUM-N54.

Visual quality is excellent as the glossy display is crisper and brighter and with a slightly wider color gamut than older models. It's biggest drawback is the slower response times for more noticeable ghosting, but this is a common trade off between FHD and 4K UHD displays. Unfortunately, pulse-width modulation is now present on all brightness levels except maximum which may impact users sensitive to onscreen flickering.

Touch option available only on the FHD SKUs

Aside from the higher resolution, the 4K UHD panels have a brighter 500-nit option as well

* ... smaller is better

Color space covers all of sRGB and 74 percent of AdobeRGB to be slightly larger than on most other flagship subnotebooks. Larger 15.6-inch 4K UHD solutions like the XPS 15, Razer Blade 15, or ZenBook Pro series have even wider gamuts at 88 percent AdobeRGB or larger for potentially more accurate colors.

Further measurements with an X-Rite colorimeter reveal that the display could have been better calibrated out of the box. Color temperature, for example, is on the cool side and RGB balance is way off. Our calibration attempt improves colors and grayscale significantly by reducing the average DeltaE values to just 1 to 3. We recommend playing around with the Lenovo Display Optimizer software or applying our calibreated ICM profile above to get the most out of the display.

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
32.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 19.2 ms rise
32.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 13.2 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.8 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 84 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (23.8 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
49.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 22 ms rise
49.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 27.2 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.8 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 81 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (37.5 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

201.6 Hz

≤ 99 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 201.6 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 99 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 201.6 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below.

In comparison: 52 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 20917 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Glare is inevitable on the glossy display and the backlight is nowhere near bright enough for comfortable use when working under sunlight. Even so, outdoor visibility is still better than the 2018 or 2017 X1 Carbon models where the displays were much dimmer. The wide viewing angles and 180-degree hinges help to minimize glare somewhat.

Performance

Like most ThinkPad systems, Lenovo offers a wide range of CPU and display options from the 8th gen quad-core Core i5-8265U all the way up to the 10th gen hexa-core Core i7-10710U. There are no discrete GPUs or Iris Plus options, however, so heavy photo editors or light gamers need not apply. It would have been great to see some AMD Ryzen options since the RX Vega series is significantly faster than the UHD Graphics 620 without needing the break the 15 W to 25 W TDP.

RAM is soldered up to 16 GB of LPDDR3-2133. The system exhibits DPC latency issues when web browsing, playing 4K YouTube videos, and running Prime95 in sequence.

Processor

Much like what we discovered on last year's ThinkPad X1 Carbon and the ThinkPad T590 each with the Core i7-8565U, this newer Core i7-10510U SKU exhibits the same cycling clock rate behavior when subjected to long periods of processing stress as shown by our CineBench R15 Multi-Thread loop test below. CPU performance would start out strong before slowly declining into a steep variable pattern. Running CPU benchmarks just once or twice is therefore not an accurate representation of the performance of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon. Other laptops, like the Microsoft Surface Laptop 3 15, do not suffer from this issue and are able to maintain more consistent performance levels over time.

Opting for the pricier hexa-core Core i7-10710U SKU instead of the Core i5-10510U will improve CPU performance by 40 to 50 percent. However, we suspect that the Core i7 configuration will also suffer from the same cycling clock rates meaning that its advantages over our Core i5 SKU will likely diminish when running high loads for long periods.

See our dedicated page on the Core i7-10510U for more technical information benchmark comparisons.

Storage Devices

There is only room for one internal storage drive as the second smaller M.2 slot may be occupied by a WWAN module. Our 2020 test unit comes equipped with a 512 GB WDC PC SN730 NVMe SSD whereas our 2019 unit came with a 512 GB WDC PC SN720. Western Digital advertises maximum sequential read and write rates of 3400 MB/s and 2700 MB/s, respectively, which we are able to confirm when running the CrystalDiskMark 5 Q32T1 test. In practice, users won't notice the minor speed upgrades over the SN720 series.

See our table of HDDs and SSDs for more benchmark comparisons.

No antenna included for installing a WAN module yourself

GPU Performance

The Comet Lake-U family uses the same UHD Graphics 620 GPU as found on the much older Kaby Lake family. It's sufficient for 4K video streaming and monitor output, but the GPU has become outdated for any sort of gaming or editing by today's standards. For significantly faster graphics performance, consider laptops with Ice Lake CPUs or the AMD Ryzen series.

See our dedicated page on the UHD Graphics 620 for more benchmark comparisons.
