X1 Carbon 12th Gen

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.

Prompt service

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.

Good Performance, Hardware Issues

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.

Traded up to next generation Lenovo

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.

New to Lenova ThinkPad X1 Gen 12

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.

Better computer, happier user

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.

Light weighted and sleek

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...

Loyal ThinkPad X1 user

By AnCh

This is my second ThinkPad X1 (my first is Gen 6) and I didn't even look at any other product. The laptop is lightweight, sleek and attractive and the tech is robust and reliable.

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.

Engineered for a No-Compromise Experience
The Intel Evo Edition, ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 laptop is engineered to do it all. Experience all-day battery life, instant wake, and best-in-class connectivity. No matter what tasks you tackle, this device is highly responsive. Plus, with Intel Unison, you can sync your laptop with any iOS or Android smartphone and then call or text, and even transfer files, photos, and videos all from the convenience of your PC.

Unleash Software Superpowers
Get the most out of your device with preinstalled Lenovo apps. Lenovo View is an AI-based camera app that enhances video quality and provides intelligent collaboration, privacy, and digital wellness features. Lenovo Vantage centralizes settings to safeguard data, automate updates, and improve performance - or Lenovo Commercial Vantage for IT manageability. We make it easier and safer to do your job well.

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. Plus, AI-powered Intel Threat Detection Technology helps prevent ransomware, cryptojacking, and more. When it comes to security and protecting your assets, we've got you covered!
