Review Summary
2023-08-22T20:00:00
Have had constant problems with the machine intermittently not booting, almost since the day I bought it. Many phone calls, techs to my house to replace parts, sent to the depot, still the machine is unreliable. This is both a failure of the device and of the "premier support" customer service, who have been friendly but have wasted so much of my time trying things over YEARS that did not work. It's been a real struggle buying an expensive laptop and having it not be reliable.

I had other brands, some maybe prettier than this one by the looks of it, but this laptop truly beats all of them for durability, battery, performance and weight!

So far it is doing everything I would expect of it. I thought I had ordered a touchscreen but sadly for me it was not.I had put in my specifications and when I got notice it was on sale, I bought only to receive it and discover the great sale was because it is not a touch screen. Other than that It serves its purpose.

Title says it all. Great machine, great monitor, appropriate performance for a business machine. However, I've had important windows close due to the sensitivity of the touch pad. I'm willing to overlook that, however, for the ability to work on my patio nearly a full workday on battery.

I've used Lenovo ThinkPads for over 8 years and have generally been staisfied with them. I purchased the X1 Carbon Gen 9 about 10 months ago and hve recently noticed a significant issue with the battery not charging. A couple days ago it would not charge at all. I contacted service and luckily it was still under warranty. I had purchased in home repair but the battery is back-ordered and I am now left with a dead laptop for a week. This is not the type of service or reliability I have expereinced with Lenovo before.

I went through two of these machines at work in a relatively short period of time. You can not use both charge ports at the same time, because if you do it fries the motherboard!! Stay away from Gen 9!!

I upgraded from my old carbon x1 gen 6 to this one. Overall very stable and impressive performance. Super light weight just like gen 6. I like the addition of the camera cover. The only compaint I have is the front camera seems to have lower video quality than gen 6.

I got this 2 months ago and went to open it and the screen cracked! So crazy that it is so fragile with just opening the screen! Really annoying that i have to send it back now.

This is a laptop that you want to own. From its lightweight, power and it's sleek design it provides more than ample power for the office work needed and with its optional docking station you can actually use this in lieu of a desktop. This laptop is the next best thing to doing that. Long battery life, strong case, and accessories easily connect is what drew us to this laptop. It is a MUST for small business owners.

After one year, the keyboard, touchpad, internal screen failed (Totally failed, not detected by the system). (But the external monitors and keyboard/mouse work properly). The keyboard, touchpad, internal screen failed after some vibrations (e.g., take the laptop out). Then they might work again after several minutes. Very strange problem and bad reliability for a 1-year-old laptop.

It is so thin and lightweight. It makes my previous laptop seem like I was carrying around a stone tablet. I love how fast it is and was recommend this specific one from my son who is a software engineer.

This is our third Lenovo device and we have not had a bit of problem with any of them. We are in the process of replacing many of our electronics and Lenovo has been the brand we turn to first. Very pleased with the quality, speed of delivery, and price.

I like the laptop so far. Lightweight is really great. NO TOUCH SCREEN! I thought I was buying a touch screen which Lenovo doesn't sale. How did I get that confused!! I really wanted a touch screen.

I'm struggling to write this review. I purchased this fully spec'd out Gen 9 in August of 21. I am a road warrior executive that lives on his laptop. I fell in love with the Lenovo a very long time ago. We have adopted the Lenovo as our "Go-To" in house laptop that all employees receive when they are hired. They are exceptional machines. When ordering this laptop I knew I wanted something fully spec'd out that would last awhile. I am a road warrior that does not do a lot -- by no means I'm no power user. At most have 2-3 normal apps open for email, music, and some customer data. This laptop from day 1 - would only last 2-3 hours a day. 2 years later I'm unable to get even an hour and a half. It pains me to write this because plugged in - it's amazing. Regardless, I made the decision last week I could no longer work in with this pressure of always having to be near a plug. I cheated in IBM and purchased a Surface Pro 9. I'm on my 3rd day with no charge, doing the exact same work load. I would easily switch back if they can figure out their battery issues. Do not believe any review that says all day battery life, it's simply not true. At first I thought it was a defective laptop, but all 10 from the order this one came from have the same issues. I really hope in the next few years Lenovo can figure it out. Battery life is important.

I was looking for the perfect laptop to dual boot. And I dont regret my decision on buying this laptop. It performance excellent on windows and ubuntu. Really happy with my purchase. Only problem seems to be with the fingerprint reader that it sometimes doesn't work.

Excellent Laptop
By rg23
I bought this laptop two weeks ago, mainly use it for work. I installed Fedora on it, and the system runs almost flawlessly! The only issue for me is that the CPU makes coil whine which is noisy in a quiet environment. It is caused by the CPU power saving management which reduces the CPU frequency in idle time. I solved this problem by entering BIOS -> Config -> Power -> CPU Power Management and turned it off. Then in the same page I changed the Sleep State to Linux S3 to prevent CPU being ac...

X1 Carbon Gen 9 Blue Yeti Bundle
By Rich522
This is a great machine. I had an earlier version of the X1 and it performed flawlessly. I really like the keyboard on the X1 and of course the weight and durability. Would recommend it as an all around great computer.
Responsiveness reimagined
With the Intel Evo platform, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 laptop delivers a powerhouse combination of performance, responsiveness, battery life, and stunning visuals. With 11th Gen Intel Core i7 vPro processors, you can count on an exceptional experience, anywhere.
Cool under pressure
The new one-bar hinge, dual fan, and rear venting for an improved Intelligent Thermal Solution mean you can put in long hours on the job, and the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 laptop will stay as cool as you are.
Security integrated seamlessly
With an updated suite of built-in ThinkShield security solutions, safeguards your ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 and your data. Biometrics provide an extra-secure fingerprint reader that is standard and is integrated with the power button-so you can log in and boot up instantaneously. Human-presence detection automatically locks your device when you move away, and in combination with the optional IR camera, it enables zero-touch login even from sleep.

Vibrant visuals easy on the eyes
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 features a refined 16:10 display with narrow bezels and a rich, high-resolution screen. Powerful Intel Iris Xe graphics render amazing picture clarity and color accuracy-whether you're video-conferencing, browsing, or watching media. Not only is this low-power panel energy efficient, but it's also TUV Rheinland-certified for reduced blue-light emissions to promote eye-care health.
Enhanced remote collaboration
The Dolby Atmos Speaker System on the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 laptop includes two upward-firing speakers and two downward-firing woofers-this creates an immersive sound experience you'll enjoy for work and for play. Dolby Voice and four 360-degree far-field mics combined with a high-definition camera for visual clarity improve remote collaboration and ensure you're heard loud and clear during calls.
Future-proof
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 laptop offers a true smartphone-like experience in an always-connected PC. Speedy Wi-Fi 6 lets you jump on crowded public platforms fast while avoiding lag-time and buffering.
Military-grade tough
ThinkPad laptops are tested against 12 military-grade requirements and more than 200 quality checks to ensure they run in extreme conditions. From the Arctic wilderness to desert dust storms, from zero-gravity to spills and drops, you can trust these laptops to handle whatever life throws your way.
