So far it has been a great all round package but I am gutted there is no nano sim slot as it showed on Lenovo's website so I will be contacting them (I knew there was no modem but I expected the card slot to be there so I could add it myself). Will also see if I can get a ssd working in the LTE bay
I have the Thinkpad X1 extreme and words are not enough to say how amazing the experience has been. One may have remorse after buying Thinkpad laptops but not for long as they will realize that most of them are quite good.
Ha, I just had an OLED X1 extreme Gen 3 arrive yesterday. Wow it is amazing too now I am in a dilemma! I am not sure I need the power of the X1 but that OLED screen...
I have reviewed the nano and I loved it but the lack of ports is a killer for me and the battery life isn’t great. I haven’t tried the x1 yoga yet. I am currently running the carbon through my list of benchmarks and apps to get a good feel of it but I love it so far
@@MashITTech good to hear , I saw your review and played around with the nano in store, this carbon may be the sweet spot though. Let’s see how it holds up to your tests 👍.
You know, if they had put 1 USB port on the machine I would have probably kept it! I have had Mac since 2016 and hate the dongle life. Working hard on this machine for the next few days to try and get the review out Friday ish
Ive been watching your videos for a a few weeks and ive never bothered to check your subscriber count and just assumed you probably had 50k+. I was shocked today when i noticed for the first time you had only 5k.
@@MashITTech how is the screen brightness on the carbon compared to nano. Can you spot the difference between 400 nits and 450 of nano? And also how is the color on the carbon? Because 1200p is not dolby vision certified
I certainly hope so! I haven’t put it through any heavy tests yet, I will be working heavily on it over the next few days and I will cover that in the review coming out soon 👍
Great video! I'm waiting for this laptop. Just order one (i7 with 4K). I use the dell precision 5530 (4K) now, so I go for 4K with the X1C. Another reason is that some reviews show the quality of the 1920*1200 panel is not good. If possible, could you check if we can put a 5G wwan into this laptop? And how can we insert the sim card into it? Also, where could we get the 5G module? Thanks!
I did take a quick look at that and it’s not good news (at least in the U.K.) the nano sim slot is missing in the chassis and there is no antennas installed (unlike older models) this makes adding it yourself pretty much a no go. The sim tray is on the motherboard though so you could possibly remove the motherboard and add the sim but you would still need to buy antennas and the wwan card (you can pick these up on eBay)
@@MashITTech I just checked, but they don't have the X1C 5G wwan. Only some 5G wwan from HP. I'm thinking put the 5G wwan from X1 nano into X1C to see if it works. And I guess we have to take the motherboard out to insert the sim card.
wow what an amazing price! I am probably going to return mine and get another with LTE now they are starting to appear in the UK. Annoyingly if they had just included the SIM tray still I would have just fitted it myself.
Doh, I didn't keep the nano! I should have as you are right that would have been great. I loved the nano but the lack of ports just killed it for me which I why I ordered this carbon instead
@@MashITTech Your opinion will suffice in this scenario. Do you find that the carbon is much heavier or has a greater footprint in real world usage? I was very torn between the two. You having held both, I will value your opinion/experience when I finally decide between the two.
Thank God that Lenovo didn't kept the exhaust in the right side, i am currently using T490s. It got the exhaust at the right side. Which is not comfortable while suing mouse in that specific area.
You bought to early, LTE for european models is not available yet. Lenovo tells me every 2 weeks it will be available in 2 weeks... three times so far...
Yes, it sucks. I thought I would be able to ad it myself as there is no WWAN option (most thinkpads I bought previously had the sim card slot so I could just add a card and antennas) I am sad about it but if I an fit a SSD in the slot it will be the saving grace
Looking forward to full review. Some things i would like to know: Any coil whine?. Fan noise: when doing light task like browsing the web and streaming 1080p video. is the fan starting and running for a long time? How many steps in fan speed? Does TPFanControl work on this thinkpad (I know there's dual fan version of TPFanControl) in my Thinkpad L480 I disable turbo boost (with a .reg file which add a setting in power/control panel). And even with my i3 I can stream 1080p video without the fan starting for a long time . So it's still fast enough for me. Can you try that on this one
Mine arrives on Monday, can't wait for it. I hope I didn't make a mistake to order it without any available review, but for 1400€ it could always worth
Wow great price! What spec did you go for? We are currently filming the review so it should be up in a day or so but I think you are going to enjoy it! Think I have found my new work machine 😀👍
@@MashITTech I take the i7-1185G7, 1200p( I don't like glossy screens, the available 4k 😔), 1TB ssd and 32GB. So yes I it was a good price with a 30% night deal discount. For job I take, the T14 gen 2 with same configuration expect a 4k screen for near same price.
Well, we ALWAYS hit the LIKE Button 👍👍👍. THIS IS GOING TO BE AN INTERESTING REVIEW!!. Eagerly looking forward to the FULL Review, Is the TrackPad Bigger 😳??, it looks bigger. Also wondering what the CPU is, please.
Hey mate! It’s been a while! How are you? I got the i7 1155g7, 16gb and 1200p screen. Giving it a hammering now ready for the review 😂 Not sure if the touchpad is bigger but it feels great on this model
I'm Great, work for an airline and have been SUPER BUSY which is why I haven't been around recently, lol. I always look for your reviews and this upcoming Full review is going to be GREAT 👌
I ordered the nano which should be arriving tomorrow but was torn between the X1C. I finally based my decision on the X1C screen resolution reviewed as inferior resolution quality for its' size but I'm still open to the possibility of returning it. If you can compare and share your thoughts on your experience with both and let us know whether the 1200p display is suitable and pleasant enough to look at with enough clarity that would be great!
Hi Daniel, as soon as I have a little more hands on time I will come back with more information but so far.. the 1200p seems very clear and I am currently running at 125% scaling. It is obviously not as crisp as the nano but 1200p on a 14" seems a good option and text looks really crisp. Other benefits over the nano is obviously ports and battery life, I am getting an easy 10 hours light use so far. I love both models and if you NEED the smallest, lightest device you cannot beat the nano, but for most people I think the carbon will be a better buy
I have only spent a couple of hours typing so far so my official verdict isn't in yet. I have enjoyed typing on it but yes I feel the stroke is shorter than older carbons (but it felt better than the nano I recently reviewed)
We just got the Nano and our Carbon gen9 will arrive in a couple of days. The Nano is as light as a feather. And super-thin. If you look on the internet about keyboard design on super-thin laptops you will see the issues they have with trying to design mechanical keys for such thin form factors. It is quite a difficult problem to solve, apparently. So it is true - the Nano keyboard is not quite as nice as the X13 or older models. However, for such a tiny machine the size of the keyboard is quite good. It is responsive and is easy to type on. Just not quite as nice as the older Lenovo laptops - but still very good considering how tiny this machine is.
Less stroke than the previous models, but not an issue for me. It’s still a great typing experience and better than most other options in the market 👍🏻
I unboxed mine yesterday and it was inside a small black/red box fitting the laptop. My t14 gen 2 at works was I inside same bag. The X1 looks very nice and very light and the screen 1200p seems not bad. I will need to install Windows to see more things :) The T14 seems not bad with the 4k screen, but it seems doing a weird sound near fan :(
@@MashITTech I don't know, I started it again this morning and no more sound, very quiet (doing nothing of course :) ) In Switzerland, it was available 3 weeks ago (www.lenovo.com/ch/en/laptops/thinkpad/t-series/T14-G2-Intel/p/22TPT14T4N2). I bought it for work with a 30% discount, 1185G7, 48 GB, 1TB, UHD, for 1500€. I think I was lucky to buy the X1 and the T14 with this discount
I was hoping you'd show us stabbing the box and styrofoam... JK great review, I like how we can actually see the laptop from angles to get a better "feel" of it.
Hi✋ man Question , What do you think on xps 13 9310 i7 16gb 1tb Vs Lenovo Thinkpad carbon x1 the same specifications?. Expect the port. Which one should I buy?
I love them both, the XPS is more compact but I would pick the carbon for the better ports and much better keyboard. Plus the screen is a little bigger which makes it a little easier on the eyes.
Haha, Disappointing unboxing experience? The box is supposed to be functional and to keep it safe ! That is all! Also to be as minimalistic as possible, most likely because Lenovo are really trying to be carbon neutral and I think this product is! For me this is not disappointing, quite the opposite! Well done lenovo! I will be buying one of these soon. Thanks for the review.
Hi, Thanks for the Video, you mentioned the slot for the wwan card. Did you get some Information from lenovo already? Iam waiting for the wwan Model in germany. :( See you Christian
Why on earth would you use a mini samurai knife for an unboxing? What is with the RUclips infatuation for big burly knives to open shrinkwrap or package seals. Completely ridiculous.
I kind of agree that the box has nothing special, and that the fancy black box that they provided with e.g., the X1 Nano was much nicer. On the other hand, it's less waste and part of me wonders whether you could replace that foam with something more environment friendly. I guess you could have both with some design work, but overall you would want to see the fancy box once in your life, maximum twice if you will sell it onwards. If you will handle the box more than that, it means that you're RMA'ing the unit, which is something that you don't want. I am not 100% sure that lowering the quality of the delivery box is a bad move, perhaps they could ask the Nordics for some nice UI design with rougher materials to make it more appealing.
Gabriel, you are totally right. It is not like you are going to sit it next to your laptop and stare at it every day! A few other manufacturers have started using pure card for the boxes which is a big step in the right direction (surface for business are pure card boxes as an example)
Looking forward to the full review! Looks like you might have a winner for a daily use laptop.
So far it has been a great all round package but I am gutted there is no nano sim slot as it showed on Lenovo's website so I will be contacting them (I knew there was no modem but I expected the card slot to be there so I could add it myself). Will also see if I can get a ssd working in the LTE bay

What a beaut! Just got an X1C 8Gen after using my older laptop for nearly a decade so I can't complain. Just wish it had the same aspect ratio.
Yes, it was the 16:10 that won me over. I don't mind 16:9 on a gaming laptop but hate it for a work machine

Hi! I was wondering how many ssd slots there are in the carbon gen 9. I couldn't catch that from your preview. Thanks for answering!
There is 1 80mm ssd slot. The second slot is 42mm for a wwan, I will see if I can get a ssd working in that slot too

Hi Dangui, yes the shipping dates are terrible at the moment due to the ongoing shortages of parts :(
Can you show the size difference between x1c and nano? Glad you are going to make a review for X1C.
Unfortunately I don't still have the nano, I wanted to keep it for myself but I hate living the dongle life but hoping to keep this X1C for myself

@@MashITTech if you can compare both the nano and the carbon would be fantastic. Wich one do you personaliy like more? Thx!
