Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon

Reviewer Rating:

Review Summary:

If you want a sexy laptop that is built to business standards then the ThinkPad X1 Carbon is probably your best option.

Pros

Oh my! Best touchpad surface ... ever!
Matte display!
Solid construction
Good overall performance

Cons

Gets pretty hot
No more slice battery option
1600x900 is good ... 1080p would be better

Description

The X1 Carbon is the 14-inch business-class Ultrabook that replaces the old 13-inch ThinkPad X1. Loaded with third generation Intel Core processors, and high-speed solid state drives for storage, the X1 Carbon gets its name from the carbon fiber used in both the exterior and in the interior roll-cage construction. Carbon fiber allows the X1 Carbon to weigh just three pounds but it passes eight separate MIL spec tests (humidity, low temperature, high temperature, extreme temperatures, sand, altitude, vibration and mechanical shock).
