ThinkPad X1 Carbon

Fully loaded business Ultrabooks™ inspired by Intel®, the ultra-slim ThinkPad X1 Carbon and ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch weigh in at under 4 lbs (2.99 lbs without touch; 3.4 lbs with touch). And at under an inch thin, they're thinner than the diameter of a penny, yet packed with premium features and designed with durability in mind.

Optimized for Windows 8, the X1 Carbon Touch features 10-finger touch navigation with a vibrant HD+ display for wide-angle viewing. Fluid and intuitive navigation enables browsing, scrolling, using apps — even gaming — with a simple swipe of the touchscreen, as well as the glass touchpad.

A capacitive touch panel allows for impeccable response time to 10-finger touch. Actions trigger immediately, and the cursors follow your fingers around the screen without any perceptible lag or delays.

Stay unplugged all day — up to 7 hours — but when you do need to boost your battery, breakthrough Lenovo RapidCharge technology charges up to 80% in just 35 minutes.

Includes Intel® vPro technology, which enables businesses to manage, protect, repair, and locate assets from anywhere in the world.

Immerse yourself in surround sound and striking visuals with Intel® HD graphics.

For models with traditional hard drives, an accelerometer detects movement and stops the drive when a fall or similar event is detected. Rubber mounts are used for the hard disk drive (rather than rails) and the HDD connector is not rigidly attached to the board, so the connector absorbs shock and impact and protects against system damage.

Validates the ruggedness, durability, and quality of ThinkPad products by testing against eight parameters: high pressure, humidity, vibration, high temperature, temperature shock, low pressure (15,000 ft), low temperature, and dust. Along with the carbon fiber roll cage and reinforcement throughout, the ensures durability. Plus, a carbon fiber roll cage with reinforcement throughout makes the X1 Carbon Touch ultradurable, yet highly portable.

Intuitively limits the energy drain of idle processes and provides an extra surge of energy when needed most, stretching your system's unplugged run-time to the max.

Save energy and lower power consumption costs — good for the planet and your bottom line.

Dual vents and new fan blade design deliver 28% increase in airflow, plus dust collection is minimized. As a result, select ThinkPad models provide better processing performance and system reliability by minimizing system temperatures, as well as promoting a longer lifecycle.
