The editors didn't like
The software
Strangely. For as mighty as the firmware on the trackpad and keyboard are
The business-facing software that Lenovo loads onto the X1 is more oppressive than you'll find from other OEMs—even repeat offenders like Asus and Sony. Things like a
None that were significant
Middling display and battery lifeHigh cost
DDR3 1333MHz system memory versus 1600MHz on other machines
Pricey
No SD card slot
New ThinkPad keyboard is awkward to use and will take time to get used to
Battery life is less than impressive
Adaptive keyboard is more cumbersome then helpful
Stiff hinge makes the PC annoying to open
Webcam is a bit tragic
The GPU performance mystery
No 16GB RAM option
No SD Card slot

Display could be brighter
Speaker volume when used on lap

Awkward
Uncomfortable keyboard
Lackluster touchpad
Relatively slow SSD
Poor quality webcam
Expensive
Not the longest battery life
Harsh audio
Annoying keyboard layout
Stiff upper mouse buttons
Shorter battery life than Windows 7 version
Some touchpad issues
Wi-Fi adapter can be wonky
New function bar adds unnecessary complexity to simple functions. New keyboard layout may not be to everyone's liking. Ethernet requires dongle. Short battery life
New keyboard design is dubious
No dock or battery slice options
Battery life just average
No dock or battery slice
Dim Screen
Tinny audio
Limited port selection
LCD panel seems dim and a little washed out
Uses new AC adapter format. Only 54GB free space left on SSD. Only one USB 3.0 port
No HDMI
For such an expensive laptop
Battery life is just so-so. Consumer-friendly options such as HDMI are missing

La pantalla táctil con resolución mejor que HD en la Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon se ve genial. La nueva franja de teclas adaptativas son una idea interesante y el teclado touch pad continúan siendo los mejores en su clase
Incluso al escoger la pantalla con menor resolución, el precio no baja realmente y a pesar que el teclado es excelente tiene un par de aspectos que son un dolor de cabeza
La tercera generación de la computadora portátil de Lenovo, la ThinkPad X1 Carbon de 14 pulgadas obtiene casi todas las cosas básicas de manera correcta, mientras que agrega algunos cambios, incluyendo la franja de teclas adaptativas que cambian según la...

Ángulos de visión ajustados comparados con IPS, Ahogo de CPU bajo carga extrema, Pocos interfaces, sin puerto de acoplamiento, Precio elevado
Lenovo no se va sin pelea y, en nuestra opinión, vuelve a encarar al cliente con un ultrabook premium de clase business. La competencia no ha logrado sacar un dispositivo móvil y esbelto igual hasta la fecha. Ni HP ni Dell ofrecen un ultrabook tactil p...
châssis ultra fin et léger, excellents ports d'entrée, connexions sans fil rapides, écran haute résolution et angles de vue stables, système performant, bonne maîtrise du bruit et de la température, bonne autonomie, 3 ans de garantie
charnières de l'écran avec un léger jeu, LAN seulement avec adaptateur, pas d'USB de type C, difficile à faire évoluer, prix très élevé
Le design, élégant et ergonomique, Clavier exceptionnel, Le pavé tactile a été largement amélioré, Les boutons physiques pour le TrackPoint font leur grand retour, L'écran est traité antireflets, Facile d'entretien, Parfaitement silencieux au repos, à pei
Les charnières ne sont pas assez fermes, On aimerait plus de ports disponibles, La dalle LCD est sombre et le taux de contraste est faible, Couleurs ternes, Les performances pâtissent quand on débranche l'alimentation, Le processeur se bride quand il tour
Performant et autonome, Construction sans faille, Ergonomie remarquable, Nombreux atouts pour les pro
Retient trop les traces, Une touche Fn mal placée, Pas de lecteur de cartes SD, Prix très élevé
En 2014, Lenovo avait tenté de mettre un coup de peinture sur son X1 Carbon en supprimant les emblématiques boutons physiques placés au-dessus du touchpad, ou encore la rangée de touches de fonctions. Mal lui en a pris, et les habitués du ThinkPad le lui...

Pour son Thinkpad X1 Carbon, Lenovo soigne le style et le confort d'utilisation… mais à quel prix ! À 2257 euros, on aurait aimé que Lenovo ne soit pas aussi avare de puissance sur la partie graphique, en intégrant notamment une puce plus polyvalente que...
Très bonne qualité de fabrication, Dalle de bonne facture, Poids contenu, Ensemble clavier/touchpad très convainquant
Haut-parleurs très mauvais, Chauffe lors de très fortes sollicitations, Pas de lecteur de carte SD
Le ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch est une excellente machine pour tous ceux qui veulent travailler dans de bonnes conditions. Les finitions sont parfaites, le poids léger, la finesse remarquable pour un 14 pouces, et le couple clavier/touchpad est sans doute le...
