Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (20FB / 20FC, 4th Gen, 2016)

11-hour battery life claim ; 16GB of RAM ; WQHD screen

Pricey ; Marginal upgrade to 2015 ; No touchscreen

The 2015 version of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon was a solid performer. We expect the 2016 version to be equally solid with a few nifty enhancements added.

no CPU or GPU throttling on battery power ; excellent keyboard and touchpad ; slim design; strong chassis ; respectable battery life ; easy serviceability ; brighter backlight ; WWAN support ; quiet fans ; no PWM

Unable to maintain maximum rated TUrbo Boost speeds ; Narrower color gamut than the WQHD SKU ; hinges could be more taut ; fingerprint magnet ; no USB Type-C ; slow charging ; soldered RAM ; pricey

With strong alternatives available like the MacBook Air or XPS 13, the pressure has been hard on Lenovo to keep the ThinkPad X1 Carbon series going strong. The latest model feels better than ever as detailed in our previous review of the unit and its...

ultra light and slim case ; excellent input devices ; fast wireless connections ; high-resolution and viewing angle stable display ; high system performance ; low system noise and temperature ; good battery life ; 3 years warranty

slightly wobbly display hinges ; LAN only via adapter ; no USB Type C ; hardly any upgrade options ; very high price

E460, L460, T460, T460p, T460s, and now the X1 Carbon: It appears that Lenovo wants to fill even the tiniest niche with a ThinkPad model. We do not want to judge here whether this is really necessary or reasonable - but help to find the best device for...

Slim, light yet strong. Fantastic keyboard, very good display, good port selection

No touchscreen option, no USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon faces some serious competition, even within Lenovo's own overlapping lineup where the ThinkPad X1 Yoga and ThinkPad T460s beckon. The X1 Yoga brings a 360 degree hinge, touchscreen and a Wacom pen for $300 more. The T460s...

geen CPU- of GPU-throttling in batterij-modus, uitstekend toetsenbord en touchpad, slank design; stevige behuizing, degelijke batterijduur, eenvoudig in onderhoud, helderder scherm, WWAN-ondersteuning, stille ventilatoren, geen PWM

kan maximum Turbo Boost niet aanhouden, beperktere kleurruimte dan de WQHD-versie, scharnieren zouden stabieler mogen, gevoelig voor vingerafdrukken, geen USB Type-C, traag opladen, vastgesoldeerd RAM, duur

Resulteert de configuratie met Core i5 FHD in langere batterijduur en lagere temperaturen dan de versie met Core i7 WQHD? Batterijduur verschilt niet aanzienlijk vergeleken met de duurdere variant terwijl oppervlaktetemperaturen wat lager zijn, al...

nessun throttling CPU o GPU usando la batteria ; eccellente tastiera e touchpad ; design sottile; chassis robusto ; rispettabile autonomia ; facile manutenzione ; retroilluminazione potente ; supporto WWAN ; ventole silenziose ; nessun PWM

non riesce a mantenere il valore massimo di Turbo Boost ; gamma di colore inferiore rispetto al WQHD SKU ; le cerniere dovrebbero essere più salde ; magnete con impronta ; manca USB Type-C ; ricarica lenta ; RAM saldata ; costoso

Con valide alternative a disposizione come il MacBook Air o l'XPS 13, la pressione è stata forte su Lenovo per spingerli a migliorare la serie ThinkPad X1 Carbon. L'ultimo modello appare meglio del solito e di quanto dettagliato nella nostra precedente...

case ultraleggero e sottile ; eccellenti dispositivi di input ; veloci connessioni wireless ; display high-resolution e con angoli di visuale stabili ; elevate prestazioni di sistema ; rumorosità e temperature basse ; buona autonomia ; 3 anni di garanzia

cerniere del display che vibrano un po' ; LAN solo tramite adattatore ; manca USB Type C ; difficile qualsiasi upgrade ; prezzo molto elevato

E460, L460, T460, T460p, T460s, ed ora l'X1 Carbon: è evidente che Lenovo vuole occupare anche il minimo spazio con un modello ThinkPad. Non vogliamo giudicare se sia necessario o ragionevole - ma aiuta a trovare il modello migliore per ogni esigenza....

ultra lichte en slanke behuizing, uitstekende invoerapparaten, snelle draadloze verbindingen, hoge resolutie beeldscherm met stabiele kijkhoeken, hoge systeem prestaties, laag systeemgeluid en temperatuur, goede batterijlevensduur, 3 jaar garantie

licht wiebelige beeldschermscharnieren, LAN enkel via een adapter, LAN only via adapter, geen USB Type-C, vrijwel geen uitbreidingsmogelijkheden, erg hoge prijs

Met name de fantastische mobiliteit is een sterk argument voor de X1 Carbon.

İşlemci veya grafik performansında batarya kullanırken takılma yok, Harika klavye ve touchpad, İnce tasarım, güçlü kasa, Saygı duyulur türden batarya ömrü, Kolay bakım, Daha parlak arka aydınlatma, WWAN desteği, Sessiz fanlar, PWM yok

Maksimum Turbo Boost hızlarını koruyamıyor, WQHD modeline göre daha dar renk gamı, Menteşeler daha sağlam olabilir, Parmak izi mıknatısı, USB Type-C yok, Yavaş şarj, Lehimli RAM, Pahalı

Peki Core i5 FHD modeli Core i7 WQHD modeline göre daha iyi kullanım zamanı ve düşük sıcaklıklar sunuyor mu? Aslında batarya kullanımı çok benzer ama yüzey sıcaklıkları biraz daha düşük belki birkaç derece. Bu iki model arasındaki ufak farklar da...

Processeur et carte graphique non bridés sur batterie ; D'excellents clavier et pavé tactile ; Fin mais rigide et robuste ; Batterie remplaçable ; Entretien facile ; Lumineux ; WWAN ; Ventilateurs silencieux ; Aucun scintillement PWM

Incapable de maintenir les fréquences Turbo Boost ; Gamut couleurs plus faible avec la dalle WQHD ; Charnières qui gagnent à être plus rigides ; Salissant ; Pas d'USB Type-C ; Recharge lente ; RAM soudée ; Cher

Avec de solides concurrents tels que le MacBook Air ou le XPS 13, la pression a été rude pour Lenovo. Le dernier modèle semble mieux que jamais et ses options WWAN ne manqueront pas d'attirer beaucoup d'intéressés.Est-ce que la configuration i5/Full HD...
