The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a high-end notebook computer released by Lenovo in 2012. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch features a multitouch enabled screen in order to take more effective advantage of Microsoft's touch-optimized Windows 8 operating system.
The X1 Carbon features a solid-state drive (SSD) instead of a hard drive. The base model has 4 gigabytes of memory, an Intel Core i5-3317U processor, and a 128-gigabyte SSD. The most expensive model has an Intel Core i7 processor and a 256-gigabyte SSD. The X1 Carbon requires the use of a dongle to access wired ethernet and some models include 3G cellular modems.
The X1 Carbon has a 14-inch screen with a resolution of 1600 by 900 pixels. The X1 Carbon weights 1.35 kilograms and measures 12.8 inches by 8.94 inches by 0.68 inches (at its thickest). The X1 Carbon's case is made of light carbon-fiber and has a matte black finish.
In a review published for CNET, Dan Ackerman wrote, "At first glance, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon looks a lot like other ThinkPads, but in the hand it stands out as very light and portable. The excellent keyboard shows up other ultrabooks, and the rugged build quality is reassuring. With a slightly boosted battery and maybe a lower starting price, this could be a serious contender for my all-around favorite thin laptop."
In another review for CNET, Nicholas Aaron Khoo wrote, "For this geek, there are many things to like about this 14-inch Ultrabook when it comes to usability when traveling on economy class. These include the backlit and spill-resistant keyboard, side-positioned ports, nice viewing angles, TrackPoint (which not everyone likes), nicely implemented touchpad and biometric login. Unlike it's [sic] poorer cousin, the Lenovo IdeaPad U410, it is able to go into hibernate mode without having the user jump through hoops to enable it."
