I love X1 Carbon ThinkPads. I purchased this 12th Gen version to replace my 5th Gen. The machine is light and sleek with good battery life, a great display, and a familiar feeling keyboard. The only issue I've had with it was a powering on issue that appears to have been resolved by recalibrating the battery.

I was surprised by how promptly the service was handled. I am a PhD student, and not having my own laptop means I'm without access to a segment of my world. In about 10 days, the shipping both ways and the service were completed, and I received my laptop. Thank you, Lenovo, for the great service-every factor I mentioned was taken care of.

Unfortunately, right around the year mark after purchasing this product, I started running into issues. While the performance of the PC was fine, the thing kept crashing out of nowhere. I am led to believe that there may be some planned obsolescence in play here or questionable hardware installation.

I'm not a computer geek, but from my perspective and for my purposes this laptop is perfect. I had the previous generation of the same laptop (5 years old) and since that machine was great, I just searched for the next generation. Transferring everything was easy - no issues. And the new one is significantly lighter.

I love the size. Lenova has a very easy step process to follow when setting it up. It is lightweight, I work in many locations and this has been great. I have owned this for 3 months now. I did order the Gen 12 to save on money. I am not sure what the differences are with the Gen higher, but the 12 works for me.

I've had multiple Carbon X1's over the years and switched to an ASUS for my last laptop. What a disappointment. I am so glad to have a Carbon X1 again. The keyboard, the performance, the drivers, all work better.

My new ThinkPad X1 Gen 12 is so light weighted, exactly what I was looking for as I am tired of carrying heavy laptops, including my current Lenovo L4 laptop. The new one is fast, sleek and looks like it will last for a few years. I have not used this laptop so much as of now, but expecting that I will have a excellent experience in the near future.

Solid ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12
By Customer2025
I've been using the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 for a little while now, and it's quickly become one of my favorite laptops. The first thing that stood out to me is just how lightweight it is-honestly even lighter than a MacBook I've used before. Despite the low weight, it has that signature ThinkPad sturdiness, and the non-slippery texture on the case makes it feel secure and premium in hand. The keyboard is excellent-solid, responsive, and comfortable for long typing sessions. I also still lo...
