Review Summary

A strong contender in the mid-budget professional models; it’s an outdated model, but it’s chipset, memory, SSD drive and screen res all hit the marks for a professional workstation. You’re not going to edit 4K video on this laptop, nor will you play Steam with 100fps, but neither will you find yourself lacking in heavy administrative, media coordinating or home/office tasks. This machine will take everything an ordinary, every day citizen needs to accomplish on a laptop, and ask for more. For its feature set, specs, and reliability, the price can’t be beat.

I'm a big fan of Thinkpads having used them since the late '90's. This is the 5th Thinkpad I've had and the second X1, my first being the 2nd generation. This computer has all the benefits you should expect from a thinkpad - especially the keyboard. To me the red pointer and blue scrolling button coupled with the keyboard mechanism is the best reason to own a Thinkpad. I never have to move my hands from the keyboard and avoids the need for an external mouse. The build quality is sturdy. Adorrma price for re-furbished machine was very reasonable with delivery and packaging 1st class.

Great deal at the time, now these are everywhere for the same money. I love this laptop though. Fast, light, and long battery life.

Ultralight. Ultrapowerful
Ultra-no-brainer
With its stunning, new look, the ultralight ThinkPad X1 Carbon merges elegant design, seamless responsiveness and legendary durability to create the ultimate in mobile productivity. Up to 15 hours of battery life along with RapidCharge technology-keep you on-task wherever the road leads. What's more, it weighs 2.5 lbs.
An IT admin's dream
The new ThinkPad X1 Carbon offers robust security features, including ThinkShutter, which covers the front-facing HD webcam and match-on-chip fingerprint readers with anti-spoofing technology that helps safeguard company data while providing more secure authentication and log-in. In addition, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon can be connected to the new ThinkPad Pro Dock (Sold Separately) with its USB-C side mechanical docking station that spans a broad offering of 2018 ThinkPad devices, making it a great cost-saving docking solution. This simplified mechanical docking saves valuable time for employees who frequently work away from their desks during the day. What more could an IT administrator ask for
Amp up your game
The new 8th generation Intel Quad Core CPUs boost performance 35% over the previous generation. Memory is even faster too with LPDDR3.
Dazzle yourself & others!
The new design of the X1 Carbon will surely dazzle. The dark black, soft-touch cover include color-coded hinges and the 14" display options are bigger and more stunning than ever.
Audio so amazing you'll think it's live
Speakers on the X1 Carbon deliver high-quality sound with Dolby Audio Premium, which energizes your entertainment with rich, powerful sound. It dynamically adjusts audio to deliver home theater quality in a virtual surround sound experience for all your entertainment. Boosted bass and enhanced volume turn it all up for sound that's loud and clear enough to share. And for times you need to plug in your headphones, enter a whole new world of sound with Dolby Atmos, for an immersive experience that puts you inside the action.
Go from 0 to 80 in 60 minutes
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon delivers up to 15 hours of battery life. If you're running low, the RapidCharge technology provides 80% capacity in just an hour. So a 60-minute lunch break or a layover can easily boost your battery up to 12 hours.
Make your voice heard!
With Cortana Premium, you can speak commands to your ThinkPad X1 Carbon from 4 meters / 13 feet. The integrated 360-degree far field microphones ensure your voice is heard across the room. Wake your device with a simple phrase. Quickly and easily find files and calendar events. Even put your system into Modern Standby mode, which improves battery performance. So go ahead and speak your mind and boost your productivity at the same time.
Enjoy a hands-free day
With Amazon Alexa on the new X1 Carbon you can play music, get news, control your smart home or shop, just using your voice. Alexa is always getting smarter, delivering new capabilities to your device automatically. Using Alexa on the new X1 Carbon is simple and hands-free - just ask and Alexa will respond instantly.
Prepare to be thunderstruck
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon includes Intel Thunderbolt 3-the technology that brings lightning-fast data transfer, up to 40Gbs to USB-C. You can also connect a cable from your USB-C port to a Thunderbolt 3-enabled device and get four times the data and twice the video bandwidth of any other port type, while also supplying power. So you get Thunderbolt, USB 3.0 data transfer and DisplayPort all rolled into one.
Built to go on and on. And on
Like all ThinkPads, the X1 Carbon is tested against 12 military-grade requirements and more than 200 quality checks to ensure they run in extreme conditions. With a chassis constructed of four layers of reinforced carbon fiber and a magnesium alloy roll-cage for added strength, you'll trust this laptop to handle whatever life throws your way.
Flick your finger for privacy
Minimize concerns about being watched or inadvertently turning on the webcam with the new ThinkShutter. This built-in sliding cover ensures front-facing camera privacy and security when you opt for the HD camera. It's easy to use and delivers strong protection.
Oh snap!
The new ThinkPad X1 Carbon integrates with the ThinkPad Pro Dock (Sold Separately), a whole new docking system that's shared across most of the 2018 ThinkPad models. The new USB-C side mechanical dock easily connects with two male Type-C ports that snap into and automatically level your device. Once docked, your ThinkPad stays securely in place and sits at a slightly tilted angle for comfort.
Good thing it's drool-proof
Quickly log in with ease with Windows Hello using just the touch of your finger. What's more, the fingerprint reader thwarts biometric hacking with anti-spoofing technology- the fingerprint image is saved inside the chip, so it's not sent out for login authentication when you sign in. Your data is protected too, with the discrete Trusted Platform Module (dTPM), that encrypts your information. And if that's not enough to make IT administrators love the new X1 Carbon, then the ThinkPad's FIDO authentication capability is sure to have them drooling.
Fast Identity Online
-or FIDO-enables hardened authentication that wraps your access info in three layers of security. FIDO authentication to protect your online credentials when you sign in to websites like Facebook or Google or make payments via PayPal. This global solution creates better security for online services, reduces costs for organizations and is simpler and safer for users.
