Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 20FB-005XUS Notebook Review

Carbon footprint. We compare our second more affordable Core i5 FHD SKU against the pricier Core i7 WQHD SKU to see if it's worth saving some few bucks for less pixels and performance power.

no CPU or GPU throttling on battery power ; excellent keyboard and touchpad ; slim design; strong chassis ; respectable battery life ; easy serviceability ; brighter backlight ; WWAN support ; quiet fans ; no PWM

Unable to maintain maximum rated TUrbo Boost speeds ; Narrower color gamut than the WQHD SKU ; hinges could be more taut ; fingerprint magnet ; no USB Type-C ; slow charging ; soldered RAM ; pricey

With strong alternatives available like the MacBook Air or XPS 13, the pressure has been hard on Lenovo to keep the ThinkPad X1 Carbon series going strong. The latest model feels better than ever as detailed in our previous review of the unit and its...

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2016 (Core i7, WQHD) Ultrabook Review

Slimmer is not possible. Already the third generation of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon belonged to the slimmest and lightest 14 inch notebooks on the market. In the fourth generation, Lenovo goes one better and reduces the weight to below 1.2 kg. We have...

ultra light and slim case ; excellent input devices ; fast wireless connections ; high-resolution and viewing angle stable display ; high system performance ; low system noise and temperature ; good battery life ; 3 years warranty

slightly wobbly display hinges ; LAN only via adapter ; no USB Type C ; hardly any upgrade options ; very high price

E460, L460, T460, T460p, T460s, and now the X1 Carbon: It appears that Lenovo wants to fill even the tiniest niche with a ThinkPad model. We do not want to judge here whether this is really necessary or reasonable - but help to find the best device for...

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (2016)

Fourth time's a charm? Maybe so with the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 4th generation. Not that the previous generations were slouches-- quite the opposite, in fact! The new 2016 model is an evolutionary improvement with the better screen we were pining...

Slim, light yet strong. Fantastic keyboard, very good display, good port selection

No touchscreen option, no USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon faces some serious competition, even within Lenovo's own overlapping lineup where the ThinkPad X1 Yoga and ThinkPad T460s beckon. The X1 Yoga brings a 360 degree hinge, touchscreen and a Wacom pen for $300 more. The T460s...

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (2016) review

A reboot with loads of potential

11-hour battery life claim ; 16GB of RAM ; WQHD screen

Pricey ; Marginal upgrade to 2015 ; No touchscreen

The 2015 version of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon was a solid performer. We expect the 2016 version to be equally solid with a few nifty enhancements added.
