  • Lisa Gade reviews the 2019 ThinkPad X1 Carbon 7th gen premium thin and light 14” business Ultrabook. The 2.4 lb / 1.09kg ThinkPad X1 Carbon has a new chassis design, while maintaining that signature matte black look. A carbon fiber weave lid is available too. New for 2019 are: a wide gamut 4K HDR400 display option (our unit), slightly thinner and lighter, much improved 4 speaker audio and Intel 8th gen Whiskey Lake quad core i5 and i7 processors. The X1 Carbon has optional 4G LTE, a Microsoft Precision trackpad and 5 display options, including a very power-frugal low power full HD 400 nit IPS display option.

    Just got mine two weeks ago and I could not be more satisfied. I went from a macbook pro to this one and I am NEVER going back. Just the keyboard alone is amazing. I can`t believe how they got it this good in such a slim laptop. Got the low powered 1080p model because battery life is a priority with me and the battery really lasts all day. I charge it once a day, but even then it`s not out of battery.10/10 to the review and the x1.

      Don't, I was serious Lenovo believer in last 15 years. Last year I bought T580, it's SSD failed mid June and after more than 7 support tickets I had to send it back to Lenovo two days ago for second time. Their customer service is absolutely unsatisfactory and new laptops are not built with same quality of older one. My SL500 still works! But it's not the case any more. This was my 4th and last Lenovo

    Great review, ordered & now received laptop. I did not go for the HDR400 UHD screen, opted for the wqhd. which is really good, and too me a better compromise of screen/battery. I am switching from MacBook pro's to Lenovo. Its a great laptop and pretty much meets all needs. My last Thinkpad was a 600x in 2000 (showing my age here). The new keyboard is not unto the old ones, but maybe its just looking back with rose tinted glasses. little more flex in keyboard, but still much better than the 2014 MacBook pro's offering. deffo thumbs up :)

    For those who is really looking for a new laptop, the 4k display drains a lot of battery. The total battery life is less than 6 hours with quite a light usage. Also, the GPU feels pressure to support such a 4k display. I can feel apparent refresh delay/latency when switching tabs in Excel (less than 800k Excel, not a big file).

    Hi Lisa, I have a P40 Yoga which I use for light CAD work, Illustrator, Sketch up and personal use (TH-cam, email, etc). I got it for the Nvidia Cuda switchable graphics card as it helped a bit when using those demanding programs. Would this generation X1 be a good upgrade or is the X1 Yoga a better buy. Would love your thoughts on this.

      Thanks for the reply. It certainly would be great to have WiFi 6 card but not sure that pricing on the new gen (8 presumably) will be close to current 7th and likely be much higher for a number of months. Based on current sale, you can get 7th gen with 10th gen i7 for just under $2,200 Canadian. Decisions decisions
