SACRIFICE NOTHING FOR PORTABILITY
The new X1 Carbon is easier to hold, to carry, and to take your work on the go. But the best part? We've packed in even more processing power, faster memory, and more storage to rocket your business forward. Plus, we managed to keep the 14" display. Now that's innovation.
GET USED TO CHECKING YOUR BAG
At just 1.13 kg / 2.49 lbs and 15.95 mm / 0.62 inches thin, the new X1 Carbon is one of our smallest and thinnest business Ultrabook yet. You might find yourself checking your bag a lot to make sure it's really there.
AMP UP YOUR GAME
The new 8th generation Intel® Quad Core™ CPUs boost performance 35% over the previous generation. Memory is even faster too with LPDDR3. When you add in the LTE-A card (coming soon), which keeps your ThinkPad X1 Carbon connected around the globe, you can expect to be productive no matter where life takes you.
PREPARE TO BE THUNDERSTRUCK
The X1 Carbon includes Intel® Thunderbolt™ 3—the technology that brings lightning-fast Thunderbolt™ to USB-C at speeds up to 40 Gbps. Connect a cable from your USB-C port to a Thunderbolt™ 3-enabled device, and get four times the data and twice the video bandwidth of any other type port, while also supplying power. So you get Thunderbolt™, USB, DisplayPort, and always-on USB-C. Plus, you can even output to two 4K displays with the ThinkPad Ultra Dock.
UP & RUNNING EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT
Even when WiFi is out of range, the new X1 Carbon has LTE-A (4G) available—so you'll always have connectivity and access to all your data and apps in the cloud.
BATTERY LIFE FROM 0 TO 80 IN 60
The X1 Carbon delivers up to 15 hours of battery life*. And if you're running low, the rapid charging feature provides 80% capacity in just an hour. So a lunch break or a layover can easily boost your battery up to more than 12 hours.
GO AHEAD-FORGET YOUR PASSWORD!
With Windows Hello, you'll never have to remember another password. Simply touch the fingerprint reader, or use the new infrared camera with advanced facial recognition technology to log in to your laptop.
LIKE MAGIC, REALLY
Imagine walking up to your desk with your X1 Carbon and automatically connecting to your monitor and external keyboard and mouse. Or walk into a conference room and, almost instantly, your presentation is up on the display, with the speakers fully connected. There's no fumbling for cables or wired connectivity with the ThinkPad Ultra dock.
LESS REALLY IS MORE
The X1 Carbon is available with Microsoft Windows 10 Pro Edition. No more trialware or unwanted apps. No more distractions—and easy provisioning for IT pros.
WE MEAN ALWAYS COVERED
The X1 Carbon comes with a standard worldwide warranty, which means that you can get help in 160 countries around the world. We work around the world so your business can too.
DAZZLE YOURSELF & OTHERS
The new design of the X1 Carbon will surely dazzle. The dark black, soft-touch cover and the sleek silver option both include colour-coded hinges. And the 14” display options are bigger and more stunning than ever.
WISE MEN SPEAK
With Cortana Premium, you can speak commands to your X1 Carbon from 4 metres. The integrated 360-degree far field microphones ensure your voice carries the weight it's due. Wake your device with a simple phrase.
