Review: Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon

Few laptops have been as anticipated in 2012 — if such a sentiment actually exists — as Lenovo’s latest ultrabook, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon. At 14 inches diagonally and a hair under 3 pounds, Lenovo is offering a machine at the same weight as most 13-inch ultrabooks, including the MacBook Air, but giving you an extra inch of screen size and more room to stretch out.

The contrast of spacious screen to weight on the Carbon is really quite jarring. It’s at least 25 percent lighter than other 14-inch laptops I’ve tested, a real leap forward in portability. That lightness is largely due to the reliance on carbon fiber in the lid and in the internal roll cage (hence the name). Lenovo says this design choice gives the notebook the same strength as aluminum, but at one third the weight.

The X1 is tapered like the MacBook Air, which makes it look thinner than it actually is. At 23mm (including the footpads) in the rear, it’s really no thinner than other ultrabooks on the market — and quite a bit fatter than some recently-released laptops, like the Samsung Series 9.

The X1 Carbon comes in four configurations, starting at $1,400.
