@Luiz Junior No, it will be fine for that. Mine is i7 , 16G Ram, 1TB hard drive, Windows 11. It is a big improvement on the i3 Surface Pro 3 I own and feels nearer to the performance of my Ryzen desktop, in terms of desktop responsiveness, if not outright horsepower. Don't get the high-res screen unless you really need it. Battery life is much better with the 1080p screen. With an Ultra dock it can run 3 external monitors (laptop screen off). WI-FI can be upgraded to WiFi 6, if you want (Intel AX210). It's the oldest, cheapest X1 Carbon that meets the hardware requirements for Windows 11, so it will have a bit of longevity from that point of view.
I have had an X1 Nano (11th gen Intel i7) for about a month and it's a great home PC. As you say the display and speakers are really good, as is battery life, it's silly light, and so far no issues running W11 Pro and Linux. My 1st Thinkpad now I know why people like them.
that`s greet if you have intention to sell your 11th Gen pc so accept me otherwise i appreciate you for the new one, 2023 edition of Lenovo’s incredibly thin and light carbon fiber and magnesium 14” Ultrabook, the X1 Carbon, focuses on battery life. make up your mind!
I never truly appreciated the durability and performance of the ThinkPad laptops until I got one for work a few years back and it's been going strong ever since. Will be upgrading soon to the 2023 version.
Not all is perfect with them sadly. I manage about 30 laptops, most being Macbook Pros and have endless gripes with them. But so far it has only been 2 Thinkpads that decided to just outright die for no reason. 1 T480 and a T480S, we also had a ThinkBook hinge break through the top case, this was fixed under warranty. The other 2 were out of warranty. I actually replaced the board in the T480 and kept it for myself as a photography travel laptop. However, the warranty with Lenovo is far far better than Apple or others imo. I just got an i5 model of this X1 on sale, with 3 year onsite warranty with international and accidental coverage after tax for less than the base price of a refurbished Macbook pro. So even with their issues I'd still probably go with Lenovo over most other options.
For everyone wondering. THE GOOD BATTERY LIFE IS BACK!!! I had the 10th gen and I was EXTREMELY disappointed. I had a Gen 6 and I was getting a consistent 6-8 hours and I loved it. When I got the 10th gen I was getting 3.5hrs on casual use. Absolutely HATED it, heard that they put the U series back into the 11th gen and the problem was solved. I'm so happy I get 9-10 hours on my thinkpad now. SO thrilled SOO happy!!! For anyone considering it you'll be pleased. The laptop feels nicer than Gen 10 too. The keyboard is more firm and doesn't feel thin like it was on Gen 10. Had to write a long comment because I'm a die-hard thinkpad fan and they finally fixed all the dumb mistakes they made last year so if you have the money you can confidently buy this laptop knowing that you'll like it. Super super happy
9 hours is a whole business day. MS Surface Pro had the same battery issue until they switched to the U series CPU for the Surface Pro 9. Small laptops should not use Intel H/P/G series CPUs. Just too much power for the small form to handle.
What mistakes did they fix mang lmao. Screen still shite. Speakers still shite. Soldered parts lmao. Cant even compete with m1 m2 and they arent even really thinkpads anymore.
@@PsycosisIncarnated what do you mean they can't complete with M1 M2? The M1 and M2 are ARM RISC processors ... and not x86/AMD64 full fledged CPUs with full instruction sets and backwards compatibility. Don't fall for the gimmicks, comparing the M1/M2 to an actual full-size CPU is like comparing your phone/tablet to your desktop PC. Without special software running on the phone/tablet, you are toast - you can't just pick up "any EXE or binary" and run it on your phone - it has to specifically be written for that processor to account for the reduced instruction set. So while Apple wants to market the M1/M2 as "real" computer chips, they are far from it. They're basically iPad/iPhone mobile processors fitted into a laptop form-factor with all of the software re-written to run on the RISC architecture. Apple can do this because they dictate which software you can use through a firm-grip on applications and programs. Can't really do that on Windows or Linux laptops as thousands of developers make software for them. Forcing a RISC CPU architecture on Windows would mean that ALL of your programs will simply NOT run without being "re-written" and "re-compiled" for the reduced instruction set ARM CPUs ... Microsoft tried this with Windows RT and Surface RT back in the day, it was an EPIC FAIL - because apart from the few first-party programs, no one re-wrote their apps to support their ARM processor. So yeah, you can't "beat" a RISC CPU with a full-size CPU, its literally apples to oranges. Its like comparing the towing capacity of a real truck v.s. a Honda Civic. Yes, the Civic will sh*t and p*ss all over the truck when it comes to MPG on a highway, but as soon as you tow anything the truck will come up on top every day of the week and twice on Sunday. So go ahead, buy the M1/M2, pay "full" laptop price for basically a mobile processor and get restricted to the software they tell you to use or use slow and inefficient emulation to run everything else (which totally defeats the purpose of a RISC CPU based platform).
Light weight and long battery life are critical for a device that goes everywhere you go. The Lenovo looks good. I would’ve liked an SD card slot but at least there is a 3.5mm audio socket.
I have a X1 Gen 9 (11th Gen Processor) and To be honest, build wise and the architecture. Looks like Gen 11 is no different other then the processors. Overall Gen 9 is a perfect machine itself so nothing to upgrade to Gen 11 I suppose!
@@ShenghuiYang I have it too. The paint came off the edges after like 3 months even though I keep it 99% in my apartment and the battery life is 3 hours. I kind of love the thinkpad carbon form but this laptop would be like 10000% better with an amd cpu, a 400 nit matte qhd screen and a 70wh battery.
So I'm new here, and apart from the fantastic review on the laptop (which you and the comment section have convinced me to purchase this laptop), where can I get the shirt you're wearing? It's awesome!
I generally love Lenovo ThinkPads but the latest one I purchased last summer is a bit of a lemon. And the customer service has deteriorated. I had to go through several different agents to get the correct Lenovo agent for the problem. Most infuriatingly, I would have to continually repeat the issue over and over. I was just handed off to one agent after another. When I was returned to the same agent --after being on the phone for two hours--I had to give up for the day. I finally got some help and was directed to send the machine to the company for repair.
I’m still using a gen 6 on a daily basis and I’m happy. I’m running fedora and it still lasts 6 hours note takeing. I might put a new battery in it soon but other than that it’s been perfect.
Im running Ubuntu on a gen 7, my battery life is horrid, at this point I do not know if I've just screwed the battery up, but what do you use to manage battery and what settings? I did not know you could swap batteries?
Thank you Lisa for your top level reviews! I'm still using and loving my HP Spectre x360 Convertible 15 that you reviewed and labeled as one of your "Best of the Best" devices - which laptops would be on your Best of the Best list currently?
Great video, as always, and also nice t-shirt! Why not leave affiliate links so that we can also buy them and help your channel that way? They are always so cool! 😊
But it only comes with 16 gigs and no option for user to expand - if they could offer at 32gb variant, i would buy it in a heartbeat. Perhaps they will release a 32gb variant soon.
10 months later, now they are reviewing x1 gen 12. I have an x1 from a few generations earlier. They are great laptops. Unfortunately they are also pretty expensive.
In my opinion, these have to be the best laptops out there. I'm still on a Gen 4 from approximately 1 million years ago and this thing doesn't miss a beat.
@@DJNuckChorris u dont have to have it running.... so leave it off all the time to save bat and heat - set it to turn on when u really need it for heaving photoshop or video editing etc.
why would i want to carry a dedicated gpu i will never need? and why even bother video editing on a portable device. its not like a threadripper will run on it
I made the mistake of buying this GEN11 model now to replace my previous 3 year old X1 and I am extremely disappointed. Why? 1. The fan is unbearably loud. It just powers up and works all the time like I'm doing graphics processing. 2. The keyboard gets hot. The left edge gets unbearably hot. You definitely can't bear to support your hand there any longer 3. The screen flickers. After switching on, the screen flickers for approx. 15 min. I did all the graphics and windows updates but it didn't help 4. Battery life. The old battery is currently 3 years old and lasts longer than the new one. Seems like a cooling issue. Good: The new one is faster than the old one, but that was also the reason for the change.
Depending on where you live, you can find some pretty sweet deals on the Dell Latitude series (not new, the 8th gen ones) I recently got a Latitude 5400 (i5 8th gen, 16GB/256GB) wlith a touch screen, fingerprint reader and windows hello webcam for about 250$ USD
Got me one of these with the 5g antenna as my daily driver. NEVER going back to wifi again if I can help it. So much more solid and THEN wifi is my backup. It's sexy, imho.
I’d exercise EXTREME caution. I used a flawless Gen 4 for past few years and upgraded ( haha) to a Gen 10. I’ve had it reformatted 4 times. Runs ridiculously hot. I’ve returned it to Lenovo 4 times. They just reformat and tell me it’s a software problem. My last visit to Lenovo they told me not to upgrade the drivers as that was likely to cause more problems. Insane. No service support. Insufficient cooling. I have actually burned my finger holding down the power button for a hard reset. Gen 4 was flawless. Gen 10 is to be avoided. No support.
I'm interested in upgrading to this from my old trusty T-25 anniversary edition. What would be the most power efficient configuration? I'm a bit torn. Which SSD consumes the least amount of power and which screen consumes the least amount of power?
So, are thermals still terrible on this like on the X1 10th gen? Assuming Lenovo is still dumb enough to stick an Intel P-series chip in this laptop, that is. That air intake on the bottom panel is scarily small.
@@JH-ok1bw Not a good idea. Some ill-informed consumers will buy it not knowing they are about to get the latest heater in the house/apartment during the winter season.
@@akin242002 I had a X1C Gen 10 1245U, it was indeed an heater, so hot, and where I live, 38C weather is normal, so just imagine how hot it turns, I could even fry an egg. Ended up selling the little heater/frying pan .
For the "love of whatever" I wish Lenovo would continue to offer a 4K screen on the 14" X1. I know they think it isn't necessary and opt for a lighter laptop vs a higher resolution screen. But I travel frequently and I much prefer a high resolution screen. I've always had a 4K screen 3840 x 2160 . Please, please, please!!
i would buy a brand new ThinkPad if they went back to the older design im aware that mobile cpu sockets aren't viable anymore but at least like the t480
I want it to be 13"! Its screen size is one inch too big to be a true portable laptop, and its battery is not as powerful for this size. Other vice, I'd probably consider it.
I owned a Gen6 and it had terrible battery life, so I switched to a Macbook Pro. I had a horrible experience with X1 in terms of battery that I am no longer convinced Lenovo will ever be able to improve the battery life, let alone catch up to what Macs offer. Avoid this.
@MobileTechReview which is more desirable the i7-1365u or i7-1370p. I'm getting this laptop, but am torn between these processors. Power vs Performance I may be answering my own question, but I'm getting the OLED screen and will 90% of the time be on AC power. I do use the laptop on my lap so heat is a concern.
If you use this on your lap and you plug in the AC 90% of the time, then heat will be a big problem for you because this laptop will run hot when AC is plug in. I had mine and the heat is pretty bad with AC plug in. You can go to bios and change Power to Balance with AC and this does help a lot. By the way, it's a nice laptop and I wish they could put amd ryzen 7 pro 7840u just like they did with T14s.
@@PhongNguyen-po2pl Thanks for the reply. I bought the laptop with the 1370P and it does run very hot. I work with it in my lap so air flow isn't the greatest. The OLED screen is awesome though. I do wish I would of gone with the U processor. I will try the balanced setting in the bios.
Making $105k means really you’re making $65k. Effective tax rate, after all is said and done, is like 30%. She needs $40-50k to live on. She’s only paying $15-25k in debt.
I've had nothing but problems since I bought this crap, constant crashes to blue screen, freezes on standby, and poor performance. Support has been a complete mess and got the computer in a worse state than how I delivered it. After several attempts of repair (basically changing the hole motherboard twice), it's been returned for the third time now and they couldn't even manage to return the computer with it's charging cable. And this is just half of the story. Lenovo absolutely sucks on so many levels that I will never bye any of their products ever again. Be warned!
@@chrispotterfan absolutely agree. I’d go and buy a brand new X1 carbon tomorrow if they used an AMD Chip. Plus AMD built in GPU completely outperforms anything intel provides.
@@silentwalker-ns9cy I mean why would they use a worse cpu in their flagship model? Are they forced to because of contracts? They can't be that stupid.
@@chrispotterfan .I think you could be right; it might well be due to some contractual obligation. I noticed that in some of their other models, they offer both AMD and Intel options. You're absolutely correct; they should definitely be providing that choice with their flagship laptops.
Sponsored by Amazon? You couldn't get someone completely unrelated to your product, could you? D Brand is popular with Marques Brownlee and some others have their own products. But you? You're sponsored by one of the most ominous companies in the world. Congratulations on being ethical. I'm sure it will have no influence over your review.
If you are on the CIA taskforce (always think about Confidentiality, Integrity, Accessibility when it comes to CIA. but anyway..) You would not use your laptop in public anyway unless it's purely non-confidential, for personal use. And there would be proper screen protectors. Microphones, cameras and other sensors that may be abused would be disabled in hardware or even cut out physically. Then there are TEMPEST and FIPS certifications and requirements... So laptop's become quite problematic very quickly...
I just can’t do 1080 in anything. Feels like going back in time. Otherwise, I like these. Haven’t had the chance to try one with one of the higher resolution screens.
1080p is fine at 14-inches if the color accuracy is high with 350+ nits of britness. I can't stand low color accuracy and a dim computer. Looking at you HP EliteBook 840 G8 from work.
@@akin242002 maybe my issue at 14in is 16:9 displays more than 1080? Standard office productivity apps suck on small 16:9 screens, especially at lower resolutions.

But I travel frequently and I much prefer a high resolution screen. I've always had a 4K screen 3840 x 2160 . Please, please, please!!
Very sad there's no 4K glossy option anymore. The X1 Carbon 9th with that display is the last of the great displays.
Lenovo should "fix" the sideway "ThinkPad" letter with the logo on the palm rest and back of the screen already. It will look much better.
I got a Lenovo add during that phone add 😂
Great review.
The fans are tiny. No wonder they've chosen the U series CPU.
I can seem to get the forward slash to work on this .
My gen 7 still running fine.
My Gen3 is still running fine. I still upgraded to the Gen 11 and gave the Gen3 to a family member.
i would buy a brand new ThinkPad if they went back to the older design
im aware that mobile cpu sockets aren't viable anymore but at least like the t480
things are not used to be in 10 years ago. We have now much much better options, yet this thing is expensive as hell.
You don't have to convince me to buy the OP11, I'm watching this video on one :)
that's amazng ! Mobiletechreview! 🙂
that tshirt is amazing!!!!
How much this
does it come without touch screen?
Yes, I have one without a Touch screen
I want it to be 13"! Its screen size is one inch too big to be a true portable laptop, and its battery is not as powerful for this size. Other vice, I'd probably consider it.
I owned a Gen6 and it had terrible battery life, so I switched to a Macbook Pro. I had a horrible experience with X1 in terms of battery that I am no longer convinced Lenovo will ever be able to improve the battery life, let alone catch up to what Macs offer. Avoid this.
How does it compare with the X1 Nano Gen 2?
Just buy X13 (gen4) with top config, same thing - smaller and better !
@MobileTechReview which is more desirable the i7-1365u or i7-1370p. I'm getting this laptop, but am torn between these processors.
Power vs Performance
I may be answering my own question, but I'm getting the OLED screen and will 90% of the time be on AC power. I do use the laptop on my lap so heat is a concern.
If you use this on your lap and you plug in the AC 90% of the time, then heat will be a big problem for you because this laptop will run hot when AC is plug in. I had mine and the heat is pretty bad with AC plug in. You can go to bios and change Power to Balance with AC and this does help a lot. By the way, it's a nice laptop and I wish they could put amd ryzen 7 pro 7840u just like they did with T14s.
@@PhongNguyen-po2pl Thanks for the reply. I bought the laptop with the 1370P and it does run very hot. I work with it in my lap so air flow isn't the greatest. The OLED screen is awesome though. I do wish I would of gone with the U processor. I will try the balanced setting in the bios.
key travel of just 1.5 millimeters? That is not comfortable..
Still my favourite
This or the hp spectre 14.
Just here to drool. T480s is all I need.
That power brick is too big for travel.
Lisa!..Thanks Much !.......
Making $105k means really you’re making $65k. Effective tax rate, after all is said and done, is like 30%. She needs $40-50k to live on. She’s only paying $15-25k in debt.
ok well done to t-shirt design person... I've seen many 'pi 3.14' tricks and I'm surprised I am seeing this one for the first time.
I've had nothing but problems since I bought this crap, constant crashes to blue screen, freezes on standby, and poor performance. Support has been a complete mess and got the computer in a worse state than how I delivered it. After several attempts of repair (basically changing the hole motherboard twice), it's been returned for the third time now and they couldn't even manage to return the computer with it's charging cable. And this is just half of the story. Lenovo absolutely sucks on so many levels that I will never bye any of their products ever again. Be warned!
I love that shirt.
Moved from a gen 6 to a gen 11. Not liking this gen 11 keyboard at all.
Nice T-Shirt ma'am!
Home button? 😁
why don't they use an AMD CPU in that laptop?
I absolutely agree. I find it baffling why they don’t.
@@silentwalker-ns9cy Intel got overtaken and has too powerhungry and too hot cpus.
@@chrispotterfan absolutely agree. I’d go and buy a brand new X1 carbon tomorrow if they used an AMD Chip. Plus AMD built in GPU completely outperforms anything intel provides.
@@silentwalker-ns9cy I mean why would they use a worse cpu in their flagship model? Are they forced to because of contracts? They can't be that stupid.
@@chrispotterfan .I think you could be right; it might well be due to some contractual obligation. I noticed that in some of their other models, they offer both AMD and Intel options. You're absolutely correct; they should definitely be providing that choice with their flagship laptops.
You're great, thanks!
Maybe meteor lake will be it
Sponsored by Amazon? You couldn't get someone completely unrelated to your product, could you? D Brand is popular with Marques Brownlee and some others have their own products. But you? You're sponsored by one of the most ominous companies in the world. Congratulations on being ethical. I'm sure it will have no influence over your review.
You’re getting these reviews for free. Now stop bitching snd complaining like a child.
nice T-shirt )
im literally shaking
This laptop is a crime tool, this planet has become unpainted
WE NEED 120, 165HZ ON X1C LENOVOO
If you are on the CIA taskforce (always think about Confidentiality, Integrity, Accessibility when it comes to CIA. but anyway..) You would not use your laptop in public anyway unless it's purely non-confidential, for personal use. And there would be proper screen protectors. Microphones, cameras and other sensors that may be abused would be disabled in hardware or even cut out physically. Then there are TEMPEST and FIPS certifications and requirements... So laptop's become quite problematic very quickly...
Still got IBM X60
I still miss having one almost 10 years ago
everything is super fine about this laptop apart from the power adaptor. Re-design is needed because it's ugly
I just can’t do 1080 in anything. Feels like going back in time.
Otherwise, I like these. Haven’t had the chance to try one with one of the higher resolution screens.
1080p is fine at 14-inches if the color accuracy is high with 350+ nits of britness.
I can't stand low color accuracy and a dim computer. Looking at you HP EliteBook 840 G8 from work.
@@akin242002 maybe my issue at 14in is 16:9 displays more than 1080? Standard office productivity apps suck on small 16:9 screens, especially at lower resolutions.
Still using a t420 Lmaoo
Bezel too thick
Looks way better then MacBook .apple is hurt popular , there’s allot way better laptops out there . Maybe there not fast but there good
CIA task force probably not allowed to use Chinese laptops :)
