The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11 with the Intel Core i7-1365U, 16 GB of RAM, and a 1 TB SSD is 54% off on eBay. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a highly portable 14-inch laptop with dependable performance and the typical ThinkPad touches you'd expect.

Lenovo's latest stab at the ThinkPad X1 Carbon comes by way of the X1 Carbon G11, even if it is very similar to the previous generation ThinkPad X1 Carbon G10, thanks to the G10's powerful Intel P-series CPU.

Thanks to a recent clearance sale at the Lenovo Online Store, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon G10 can be had for as much as 55% off the standard sale price, but that still no match for the discount on the ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11 via an eBay deal. The 14-inch X1 Carbon G11 can be had with the 10-core (two P-cores and eight E-cores) Intel Core i7-1365U vPro, 16 GB of LPDDR5 6400 MHz RAM, and a 1 TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 SSD.

The ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11 has a lot going for it, especially for someone looking for a lightweight on-the-go machine that doesn't compromise too much on performance, creature comforts, or display quality. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11 comes with a 60 Hz, 1920 x 1200 touch display that covers 100% of the sRGB gamut and has a brightness of 400 nits. The 16:10 aspect ratio also provides a decent midpoint for those looking to do some media consumption on the side.

Graphics are handled by the built-in Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 with 96 EUs, which performs admirably in both content creation and gaming tasks, allowing for moderately demanding titles to be run at playable framerates with low to medium quality settings at 720p or 1080p.

Creature comforts include a white backlit keyboard with the typical ThinkPad feel and 1.5 mm of travel, a glass touchpad with dedicated buttons, and Lenovo's famed TrackPoint that has a die-hard fanbase. The webcam is a high-quality 1080p unit located alongside a quad-array microphone setup. A fingerprint reader with caching functionality and Windows Hello support via an IR array are also present for easy, secure logins.

This particular configuration of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11 can be had on eBay for US$1,539.
