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.

Powerful, lightweight, workhorse. This was an excellent choice. It's lighting fast, and super responsive for all of my needs. Easy to set up and hit the ground running. This laptop should last me for a very long time.

This is an excellent laptop--our 3rd time buying the X1 carbon and it doesn't disappoint. Solid, fast, and not heavy.

Just bought this, the battery dies in 2 to 3 hours. Cannot use this computer without it being plugged in. Its a scam.

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...

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.

No matter what tasks you tackle, this device is highly responsive.

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.
