Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 14" IPS LED Backlight vPro Iris Xe Graphics 32GB 512GB

This is my 2nd Thinkpad which I bought for personal use. I have been using Thinkpad for my work as well. I love this product and highly recommend. Very reliable, robust and sleek design.

Very Reliable

A dream machine come true! I´ve always wanted to have one and now that I do, I´m still amazed at how good it performs and the things it can do. I´m a cyber security professional so I run virtual machines most of the time. This is an awesome powerhouse laptop in a sleek and fine design. Powerful, lightweight, durable, shockproof, spill proof, and enough battery power to last you a full day on a heavy workload.

Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon gen 11 thank you

I love the reliable quality of the Thinkpad brand and this one does not disappoint. In addition to consistent performance, it is also pretty sleek for the workhorse that it is. It is a joy to use.

Thinkpad delivers again

So far my computer is working very well. Feels very slick and elegant

good computer

Really excellent laptop. A lot of information fits on the screen. I love the pg up pg down buttons. Sound quality is great. Connects to my AirPods easily. I have multiple tabs going at once with no lag. No problem running jupyter notes or CLI. Keyboard is nice as is trackpad. It feels sleek. It’s my first Lenovo and I will be using it for years to come.

Excellent laptop

Sleek, powerful, and reliable. After another brand died just after the warranty expired, I knew I was returning to my old favorite and faithful brand, Lenovo ThinkPad. I have used ThinkPads since they were introduced and they cannot be beat.

Thinkpad has loyalty for good reason

I love my Thinkpad. I had a Thinkpad many many years ago, and that laptop was everywhere with me and put in so many hours of work. I am looking at duplicating the same with this Thinkpad. This Thinkpad is super light, very nice to the touch. The screen is very vibrant. The keyboard is solid, but yet nimble to the touch. I am really enjoying working with my new Thinkpad

Consider this..........

I have been using Thinkpad X-series since 2004 and just keep coming back every 3 to 4 years to upgrade as they have simply the best keyboards and offer good business performance in a thin and light weight package. I don't need solid aluminum chassis like MacBook Pro and prefer a decent set of ports that today's ultra portables don't offer. I have had no major quality issues. My 4th gen X1 carbon had a loose speaker connection and needed to have its battery replaced as it wasn't holding a charge. My 7th gen X1 carbon had no issues, but the soft-touch outer surface on the LCD doesn't wear all that well and showed its age. I hope my new 11th gen will still look new after only 3 years of use. The "H" series Intel process on my 11th gen is very speedy and the 2K display is plenty bright with vivid colors. I much prefer the matte display vs. the glossy of my 3.8K display on the 7th gen, but I do wish Lenovo would go to bezel-less displays with Gorilla glass to make it more modern. I rarely use the two buttons above the trackpad and perhaps removing them to make room for a larger trackpad like other Lenovo products would make sense. And while I appreciate the nostalgia of the red track point, I never use it.

Performance and Versatility

The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 is a nifty little laptop that's built like a tank! It's got a super lightweight carbon fiber body that can take a beating and still keep chugging along. The screen is dope, with vibrant color that'll make your heart sing, especially when you're working on flashy graphics and videos.

This machine packs some serious power under the hood, too. The 11th Gen Intel Core processor is the bee's knees and can handle anything you can throw at it. Plus, with a sweet 16GB of RAM, you'll be able to multitask like a pro and never miss a beat.

The battery life on this baby is insane! It'll last up to 16 hours, so you can work all day without worrying about running out of juice. And when you need to charge up, it'll do it lightning fast, which is just plain sweet.

Gotta love the built-in fingerprint reader and facial recognition, too. Security is key, and this little guy has you covered.

Overall, if you're looking for a laptop that's tough, powerful, and secure, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 is the way to go.

Carbon Fiber Workhorse

Very fast laptop. Crisp keyboard. Wonderful screen/picture quality. Extremely lightweight. I've been a Lenovo fan for years and this computer lives up to their reputation.

Great laptop!

My new ThinkPad X1 Carbon has been exceeding my expectations, and I highly recommend it for anybody whose priorities are to find a quality-built, ultra-lightweight, low profile laptop with a good keyboard and good battery life, and enough power to multitask and breeze through applications, particularly single-threaded applications like office productivity and photo management.

My previous X1 Carbon was the best laptop I had ever owned, and it is still going strong after 7 years, which is crazy, Of course, this newer generation is even more compact, lightweight, and bright, but the build quality and keyboard feel like home.

I chose the i7 "U" class processor and the low-power 1920x display, because to me, that combination provides the best balance of performance vs battery life. I concluded that the "P" class processor provides only marginal benefit in performance, but runs hotter and drains the battery faster. Similarly, the available higher-resolution displays felt like overkill for a little 14" ultrabook, and chew up battery as well.

The embedded Intel "Iris" graphics are a pleasant surprise compared to previous generations of built-in graphics processors. I didn't buy this laptop with video editing in mind, but I've installed a pretty sophisticated video editing program and it's running quite smoothly. Bonus!

Of course, if you are looking for a laptop to run GPU-intensive programs like gaming or video editing, or to run multiple monitors, then Lenovo offers other ThinkPads that are better equipped for that, such as the ThinkPad T14s, which provides more power for the dollar. But to me, the roughly 1/2-pound difference feels huge, and the displays offered on the T14s do not produce colors as accurately as the display on the X1 Carbon. So I'm thrilled with this choice.
