We can confirm that at least our test model of the ThinkPad X1 meets this expectation. Unfortunately, the hinges to not work as precisely as in other ThinkPads and wobble for a short time whenever you touch the display.įor a price above 1500 Euros, customers may expect flawless build quality. Stiff hinges means that it takes two hands to open the Carbon to avoid lifting the base unit. However, a slight flexibility could not be avoided in view of the extremely thin build. Even the lid does not warp too much, when force is applied. As the chassis is made from magnesium and carbon fiber reinforced plastics, it is not only very resistant against dirt and smaller scratches, but also withstands twists and depressions without problems. However, you should consider that the T460s is already thin and light enough to easily carry it in the hand luggage or use it on your lap.ĭesign, material, and haptics also are quite similar to the recently reviewed T400 series. In direct comparison, this difference is actually noticeable and it is without doubt the main reason to buy the more expensive X1. So far, no other 14 inch notebook has ever been that mobile. With a height of about 16,5 mm and a weight of just under 1.2 kg, our test model is about 2 mm slimmer and 150 g lighter than its in-house competitor. Overview of available configurations (without education discount, extract):Īfter Lenovo has shrunk the T460s to about the size of the ThinkPad X1 from 2015, the manufacturer also had to make the new Carbon slimmer. The HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G3 (review will follow) is especially noteworthy, since it is very similar to the ThinkPad in terms of design and price.

This review will not only clarify how the X1 Carbon compares to its T460s sibling, but also how it performs compared to several competitors. Our mid-range configuration (20FB003RGE) with Core i7-6500U, 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB SSD, WQHD panel, and LTE module currently costs steep 2000 Euros. Several models also features a fast WWAN module, which further increases the already high base price of about 1550 Euros. Depending on the configuration, it comes with 4 to 16 GB of LPDDR3 RAM, a SATA or PCIe SSD and a 14 inch display with 1920 x 1080 or 2560 x 1440 pixels. The fourth generation of the X1 Carbon uses Intel's current Skylake platform, which we already know from other ThinkPads from 2016. Those who thought they had already seen the most important representative of Lenovo's current ThinkPad lineup in the T460s are wrong: Just a price class higher, the Chinese manufacturer offers one of the classiest and most mobile business ultrabooks on the market - the ThinkPad X1 Carbon. 3D Printing, 5G, Accessory, AI, Alder Lake, AMD, Android, Apple, ARM, Audio, Benchmark, Biotech, Business, Camera, Cannon Lake, Cezanne (Zen 3), Charts, Chinese Tech, Chromebook, Coffee Lake, Comet Lake, Console, Convertible / 2-in-1, Cryptocurrency, Cyberlaw, Deal, Desktop, E-Mobility, Education, Exclusive, Fail, Foldable, Gadget, Galaxy Note, Galaxy S, Gamecheck, Gaming, Geforce, Google Pixel, GPU, How To, Ice Lake, Intel, Intel Evo, Internet of Things (IoT), iOS, iPad, iPad Pro, iPhone, Jasper Lake, Lakefield, Laptop, Launch, Leaks / Rumors, Linux / Unix, List, Lucienne (Zen 2), MacBook, Mini PC, Monitor, MSI, OnePlus, Opinion, Phablet, Radeon, Raptor Lake, Renoir, Review Snippet, Rocket Lake, Ryzen (Zen), Science, Security, Single-Board Computer (SBC), Smart Home, Smartphone, Smartwatch, Software, Storage, Tablet, ThinkPad, Thunderbolt, Tiger Lake, Touchscreen, Ultrabook, Virtual Reality (VR) / Augmented Reality (AR), Wearable, Wi-Fi 7, Windows, Workstation, XPS, Zen 3 (Vermeer), Zen 4įor the original German review, see here.
