The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon design has made a name for itself by combining ultra-portability and toughness, two attributes that are usually mutually exclusive. As such, this model has quickly become a professional and IT organization darling, thanks to its 2.45 Lbs weight and MIL-STD 810GMil-Spec certification (12 tests), among many other things (such as vPro management and more). Such Mil-Specs certification means that it could withstand what army hardware go through during battlefield storage and transport on the front line. Read our What is MIL-STD-810G article for a complete explanation, or you can check Lenovo’s leaflet to see the 12 tests details. There are different strategies to achieve such lightweight. Most use Magnesium, but the X1 is made of carbon-fiber (more expensive), except for the removable bottom, which is magnesium alloy. In 2019, new ultra-portable competitors are coming, and we’ll have to see how new offerings from Samsung and LG compete in the sub 3 Lbs spac...

The pricing listed above is the full price and the current sale price. I've never seen Lenovo ThinkPads listed at full price, as there are always sales going on, but the prices do fluctuate. There are a couple of things to note. There are four display options; the two not listed above are a 300-nit FHD touch panel and a 300-nit QHD non-touch panel. The QHD option is no longer offered with Dolby Vision. The difference in price between the Core i7-8565U and Core i7-8665U is $227, so vPro is significantly more expensive. In fact, the price for the Core i7-8565U and the vPro Core i5-8365U is the same. 

Even through the ups and downs of the past few decades, Lenovo is one brand that has seemingly had the combination or key to the PC market when it comes to designing and building reliable, high-performance machines for each market segment. This can be seen in their rise from a near 6.6% market share in Q1 2009 to owning 27% of the market as of Q4 2020. A large part of this market share comes from their Thinkpad portfolio, which now encompasses nine models. Things get even trickier when you dive into the X1 catalog, which in itself houses four or five models. That said, it's been some time since we last had a Lenovo product in-house, so I went for the top right off the bat and had the Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 9 sent over for review.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (2017) review: A modern classic for the battery-bleeding business traveler

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (2017) review

The Good: Class-leading battery life, good performance and its light weight are among the ThinkPad X1 Carbon's main virtues. The Bad: It's expensive, and there's no touchscreen option. The Bottom Line: This isn't the most feature-packed or stylish system. But it does have the classic look and the performance, battery life and light weight a traveler needs from a traditional laptop.  	I love carbon fiber -- I'll put that right out there. The feel yes, but most importantly the way it makes everything so lightweight. And, sadly, more expensive as well. Lenovo's 2017 ThinkPad X1 Carbon, dubbed its "5th gen" model, recommends itself as the perfect traveler's laptop with its lightweight body, relatively speedy performance and exceptional 11.8-hour battery life. But you'll pay for the privilege of toting it around. 	The current X1 Carbon starts at $1,330, £1,839 or AU$2,099. The only significant hardware configuration options are the processor -- a choice of seventh-generation Core i5 or i7 models -- 8 or 16GB memory or SSD storage options between 128GB and 1TB. With the hardware maxxed out and Windows 10 Pro, you can spend up to $2,750 on it. (There's also  Snapdragon X7 LTE-A WWAN and a vPro version of the wireless and Bluetooth chipset options for no extra cost.) 	If you're more concerned with budget than performance, you'd probably be served well enough with a Core i5-7200U, 8GB, 512GB configuration which comes in at under $1,900. Also, keep in mind that Lenovo offers preferred pricing to some of its retailers, so you can get significantly lower price from sites such as CDW -- which charges $2,123 compared to Lenovo's $2,520 for our evaluation configuration, for instance. 	 There are slightly different options in the UK. For instance, the price difference between the i5 and the i7 is trivial, so you might as well get the i7, and there's no choice for memory or 128GB SSD option. So the budget UK configuration is about £1,839. In Australia, my suggested configuration comes to just under AU$2,000. 	 	In June 2017 Lenovo plans to ship a models with a Quad HD (2,560x1,440-pixel) display. Unless it ships with a more powerful battery -- which it probably won't -- it won't have the same battery life as the HD model we tested. That's a lot of pixels to cram into such a small 14-inch display. I think a touchscreen model would make more sense. And it's priced similarly to the slightly smaller  -- you're paying a premium for the security and management features on both -- but without the two-in-one flexiblity.Hi-ho, the battery -- Oh! The X1 Carbon has one of the longest-lived batteries we've ever tested: It lasted just under 12 hours in our streaming video test. In fact, we've only seen 2 laptops with 14-inch class screens  break the 11-hour barrier -- this and the Microsoft Surface Book. (The latter case is more of a feat given that it has a much higher-resolution screen.) The rest are slightly smaller 13-inch models. Of course, your mileage may vary. On a WebEx conference over Wi-Fi, audio over headphones and the screen brightness down to around 50 percent, the battery level dropped over 10 percent in 40 minutes. But once the call ended and I just sat and typed (with Wi-Fi still active), the depletion slowed significantly. It also lasts days in sleep mode if you're one of those people who don't use their computer daily.  The rest of its performance is less stellar but in line with the rest of its class. Lenovo uses slower  1,866MHz memory than many  other systems' 2,133MHz, which delivers lower scores on the memory and CPU-intensive tests, but in this class of laptop I don't think you'll notice any difference in performance. And I think it contributes to the better battery life.

This isn't the most feature-packed or stylish system. But it does have the classic look and the performance, battery life and light weight a traveler needs from a traditional laptop.

Its long battery life and light weight will please the peripatetic business crowd who want a veteran clamshell design.
