I am thoroughly impressed with the performance of this laptop! I purchased it for business use to replace a desktop that had been giving me trouble, and I am just blown away with how fast and efficient this machine is! On top of that, it's compact and lightweight, making it perfect for on-the-go computing! For anyone in search of a laptop to maximize your productivity and efficiency, while simultaniously being effortless to transport, I would profusely recommend the X1 Carbon!

The Thinkpad is great. It is very light weight. My only complaint is that the black case shows fingerprints all over.

Decided to move on from my XPS15, and looking for something that would be able to keep up with my needs, but would be a bit lighter. This totally fits!

The configuration of this laptop is perfect for work and personal use. Convenience features like fingerprint reader and physical cover for the camera as well as the multitude of up-to-date and legacy ports allows for any needed peripherals. Input from Zoom and Google Meet attendants is that the mic on the computer is better than the Jabra external speaker/mic I have been using. Loving this Laptop!
