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

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
