You can't go wrong with Thinkpads . We have always owned one and they have always worked great . Forget about Dell and other brands . Nothing stacks up. Period.

The X1 is a very nice laptop in terms of performance I have no complaints. I love the light weight, and the overall aesthetic is simple and nice. It's a shame that is has such a bad quality mic, I tried to record some videos for my youtube channel and I totally dislike. Also the fact that it does not accept linking to any type of pen. I had to buy a static type pen and of course this is not as good a pen included and tested in the original design

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!

I recently got this laptop to upgrade my work laptop of 3 years which was previously an the HP. So far this Lenovo has been 10 times better the camera and microphone work better and I'm really impressed with the battery life and size and overall performance. Great buy.

The microphone did not work. After trying to fix it and couldn't with the service teams help. I was offered to return it for a new one but because the exact same computer was not in stock and my month was almost over, I had to return it for a refund. Its was crazy the customer service team did not have the authority to replace it with a similar computer in stock, but they couldn't. I will find another brand I guess.

Best combinations of features and capabilities
By RobertoDLM
I have been a long time ThinkPad user, and when the opportunity to refresh my older PC (also a ThinkPad) came I did my research with the usual suspects, Dell, HP, Samsung and Surface (MSFT), but I came back to Lenovo because I found that the best balance of features, capabilities, quality and price was still with Lenovo. Aside the fact that I think ThinkPad has the best keyboard in the industry, and that I am so used to the Trackpoint that the decision was not difficult at all. So far all pro...

How Do You Show Respect for the Planet?
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 (14" Intel) laptop still uses carbon fiber for the chassis - but better yet some of that carbon fiber is recycled from post-industrial remnants and is used along with 90% recycled magnesium. Plus, the chassis, the battery pack, the speaker enclosure, and the power adapter all include recycled post-consumer content. And we don't stop there. The packaging is 100% plastic-free and comprised in part with rapid-renewable materials made from bamboo-sugar-cane fiber.
Elevated Performance & Lasting Battery
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 boasts the world's first laptop powered by Intel Core Ultra processors, making it ideal for creating and on-the-go productivity. Enjoy optimized performance with workloads pushed to dedicated AI engines, including the low-power neural processing unit (NPU) for sustained tasks and resilient battery life. Go ahead, turn on auto-framing or low-light enhancement for your online meetings, even when unplugged! Choose the Intel vPro Evo Edition, for multilayer security, professional-grade performance, reliable stability, and complete management for IT.
Raise the Bar on Collaboration
A Communications Bar, positioned at the top of the display for easy laptop opening, houses two cameras (FHD / infrared (IR)) - or upgrade to the premium 8MP & IR Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) with Computer Vision - both options include a webcam privacy shutter. Additionally, two 360-degree mics with AI-based noise cancellation, combined with Dolby Voice and Dolby Atmos deliver a superb audio experience. Plus, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 is Zoom-certified. Make calls, listen to music, or watch a video and enjoy the sublime sounds.
You Spoke. We Listened: We've Redesigned Our Legendary Keyboard
Our redesigned ThinkPad keyboard now includes tactile markings to help people with visual impairments more easily find the correct keys. We've moved the fingerprint reader to the keyboard, resulting in a larger sensor for a better experience. Plus, our TrackPad is even larger now, at 120mm / 4.72". Our beloved red TrackPoint still lets you navigate - but with a double tap, it opens the ThinkPad TrackPoint Quick Menu to optimize audio-visuals, set alerts against muting, and even take notes with the Dictation Toolbar for handy speech-to-text transcription.
A Feast for the Eyes
Razor-thin bezels frame an optional stunning 14" 2.8K OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate. Sharp, clear details make content pop and colors more vibrant than ever on the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 laptop. But perhaps the best part yet? It's easy on the eyes with Eyesafe certification, so you can put in the long hours to meet your deadlines and not worry about eye-strain and fatigue.

Stand Tough With Battle-Tested ThinkPad
We use the US Department of Defense's MIL-STD 810H to create a balance of reliability and durability for ThinkPad laptops. Meeting or exceeding 12 standards, 26 procedures, and 200+ quality checks ensure that these devices run in extreme conditions, including harsh variables like Arctic wilderness, desert dust storms, extreme temps, pressure, humidity, vibration, and more.
Your Face. Your Fingerprint. Your Fortress
Biometrics provide extra protection on the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 laptop, from the fingerprint reader to facial recognition software. ThinkShield, our comprehensive suite of security solutions, boasts discrete Trusted Platform Module (dTPM) to safeguard critical data with encryption.
