Light weight and right sized

I am a longtime Lenovo user. My new X1 works perfectly, is easy to carry, and has a great screen. Thin and light enough to carry easily.

a solid workhorse laptop

This laptop is what I hope it would be, sturdy, fast, and lightweight. I would have liked an SD card port, but that's my only complaint.

ThinkPad X1 - A Reliable Workhorse

My ThinkPad X1 is just what I expected - rugged, dependable - and able to do whatever I need. I configured my ThinkPad to dual boot, so at startup I choose between Linux or Windows 11. Both run equally well on this Lenovo!

Worth it....

Thinkpads are pricey... but worth every cent. Compact, light, but with a great display & long battery life. They are not just for business. They are great for home & personal use.

Solid build, nice finish

Excellent computer. Solid build quality. The redesigned display hinge has a tab for opening the laptop easily (great improvement over previous generations). Stays cool (Intel Ultra 5 125U). I like the My only wish is it had upgradable RAM.

Think Pad Gen 11 Intel

I have used Lenovo in the past for work and has always been fast and reliable. I had used a 2016 model for home for years and was working great, but needed to upgrade to a more current version of Windows, otherwise, I would still continue using it.

Decent for its price

Overall this laptop is fairly decent, the specs and operating system is smooth and the UI is appealing for having a Microsoft OS. The outside design is sleek and appealing to look at, very thin but durable for its size. However there is alot of bloat present in its system, and be careful when you go to remove the Lenovo software. Unfortunately a lot of their software is embedded into how the laptop functions so removing it might cause errors or malfunctions. Overall a decent laptop.

So far so good

So far so good and works as expected. I'll update this when I've had some time to properly test it. However, on the first look, it's definitely heavier than my current laptop which is x1 gen 6

Bummer

While I have owned several ThinkPads and generally think they are good, this one has given me more hours of issues than any other. Service has been fine, but I have better things to do than mess with a brand new machine.

Review from a fan!

Reliable. Sturdy. Light. The ThinkPad X1 is worth it's price given that it is a solid investment for business or personal use. It's portable and light while still being a reliable laptop. I love it!

Sleek, Fast, and Built for Business

I've been using the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 (Intel, 14") for a few weeks now, and I'm seriously impressed. It's incredibly lightweight but still feels solid and durable-perfect for frequent travel. The keyboard is exactly what you'd expect from a ThinkPad: responsive and comfortable for long work sessions. Performance-wise, it's fast, quiet, and handles multitasking with ease. Battery life easily gets me through a full workday. The matte screen reduces glare, and the overall build quality is top-notch. Definitely a premium laptop that lives up to the ThinkPad reputation!

ThinkPad X1 Carbon exceeding my high expectations

By Quaker2

My new ThinkPad X1 Carbon has been exceeding my expectations, and I highly recommend it for anybody whose priorities are to find a quality-built, ultra-lightweight, low profile laptop with a good keyboard and good battery life, and enough power to multitask and breeze through applications, particularly single-threaded applications like office productivity and photo management. My previous X1 Carbon was the best laptop I had ever owned, and it is still going strong after 7 years, which is cra...

Takes productivity to the next level
Co-engineered with Intel, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 meets Intel Evo laptop design requirements, hardware specifications, and key user experience targets for consistent responsiveness, instant wake, all-day battery life, fast charging, and intelligent video conferencing. This Evo-certified device also includes Intel Unison for seamless connectivity with your Android or iOS smart phone for calling, messaging, and file and photo sharing-all done from your laptop.

Collaborating remotely never looked or sounded so good
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 laptop includes a highly functional and stylish Communications Bar, which houses an FHD camera or a hybrid FHD and infrared (IR) camera. Or go big with the FHD / IR mobile industry processor interface (MIPI) webcam with Computer Vision's added security. And, of course, all cameras include the webcam privacy shutter. What's more, 4 x 360-degree mics with integrated AI-based noise cancellation and Dolby Voice deliver superb audio. With the quality of video calls this amazing, you may never want to commute to an office again.

Effortless connection with your phone
With Intel Unison, you can put your laptop at the center of all that you do. Wirelessly connect your phone-either Android or iOS-to your ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 laptop. Transfer files quickly and easily, even edit your photos and videos seamlessly on the big screen. Make and answer calls directly from your PC, with full access to your phone's contact list. You can even receive notifications on your laptop, as well as messaging. No need to switch devices when you can do it all in one place.

Bumps up the coolness factor
The legendary ThinkPad keyboard is designed for ergonomics and comfort-and part of that comfort means improved airflow. The underside of the keys facilitates air intake when in use. Combined with the dual fan and rear venting, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 notebook delivers improved thermals. So whether you're powering through your day, or your night, or both, the ThinkPad X1 will stay as cool as you are.

Vibrant visuals that suit your needs
No matter how you look at it, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 laptop features stunning displays that meet your workday needs. Whether you require richly detailed graphics with super-high screen resolution, or extra security to combat prying eyes, we've got options for you. Ranging from a widescreen ultra extended graphics array (WUXGA) touchscreen to a 2.8K OLED display, to a WUXGA with Privacy, all of the 14" panels feature a 16:10 aspect ratio with maximum screen real estate. What's more, almost all selections include Eyesafe certification to reduce eye fatigue.

Security that works 24/7
Biometrics provide extra protection on the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 system-from the fingerprint reader integrated with the power button to the facial recognition software that works with the IR camera. ThinkShield, our comprehensive suite of security solutions, is integral to all our business laptops. Features like discrete Trusted Platform Module (dTPM) safeguard your critical data with encryption. Presence detection automatically locks your device when you move away, while the optional PrivacyGuard display prevents wandering eyes from seeing what's on your screen.

Trusted ThinkPad quality
We use the US Department of Defense's MIL-STD 810H standards to create a balance of reliability and durability for our ThinkPad laptops. We test against 12 standards and more than 200 quality checks to ensure they run in extreme conditions. These tests cover harsh variables like Arctic wilderness and desert dust storms, including temperature, pressure, humidity, vibration, and more.

Feel good about the planet
At Lenovo, we take sustainability seriously. We've committed to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, making us the world's first PC and smartphone maker and one of only 139 companies with a net-zero target validated by Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). For the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11, that means low-temp soldering and 90% recycled magnesium on the C cover. We use 98% post-consumer content (PCC) recycled plastic in the speaker enclosure, 25-30% PCC recycled plastic in the battery enclosure, and 90% PCC recycled plastic in the power adapter. Packaging is entirely plastic-free.

Zoom certification
Being Zoom certified means exceptional experiences under all the Zoom offerings. From meeting spaces and webinars to events and team chats. From booking conference rooms to sending email. From virtual customer service agents to driving loyalty and retention. From leveraging AI to mine customer conversations to delivering a platform for developers. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 raises the bar for interactions with Zoom One, Zoom Spaces, Zoom Contact Center, Zoom IQ for Sales, and Zoom Developers.
