While there are more budget-friendly options in Lenovo\u2019s ThinkPad line, that\u2019s not the X1 Carbon. These laptops are top-end, premium ThinkPads marketed primarily toward working professionals. I wanted to mention this upfront because of its high price tag. You\u2019ll pay more but have a laptop that lasts a long time.<\/p>\n<p>While you can\u2019t buy the specific model I had the pleasure of reviewing just yet, you can browse through comparable <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/lenovo.vzew.net\/c\/156932\/232696\/3808?subId1=rg&amp;subId2=124664&amp;sharedid=&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lenovo.com%2Fus%2Fen%2Fp%2Flaptops%2Fthinkpad%2Fthinkpadx1%2Fthinkpad-x1-carbon-gen-10-%2814-inch-intel%29%2Flen101t0009\">Gen 10 X1 Carbon laptops<\/a> on Lenovo\u2019s website. Here, you\u2019ll be able to customize how much storage and RAM you want. That said, if you can hold out for this model (21CB000CUS), I had an absolute blast reviewing it and think it\u2019s an excellent choice for anyone who needs powerful internal specs.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Specs_as_Reviewed\"><\/span>Specs as Reviewed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>CPU:<\/strong> 12th Generation Intel\u00ae Core\u2122 i7-1260P Processor (E-Core Max 3.40 GHz, P-Core Max 4.70 GHz with Turbo Boost, 12 Cores, 16 Threads, 18 MB Cache)<\/li>\n<li><strong>RAM:<\/strong> 16GB (LPDDR5 5200MHz)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Storage:<\/strong> 512GB M.2 2280 SSD<\/li>\n<li><strong>Graphics:<\/strong> Integrated Intel\u00ae Iris\u00ae Xe<\/li>\n<li><strong>Display:<\/strong> 14-inch FHD+ (1920 x 1200) low power IPS anti-glare touchscreen,\u00a0400 nits<\/li>\n<li><strong>Battery:<\/strong>\u00a057Wh lithium-ion battery<\/li>\n<li><strong>Connectivity:<\/strong> Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX211 802.11AX, Bluetooth 5.2<\/li>\n<li><strong>Operating System:<\/strong> Windows 11 Pro<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ports:<\/strong> 1x HDMI, 2x USB 4 Type-C with Thunderbolt 4 (DP, DT, PD), 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, headphone jack<\/li>\n<li><strong>Camera:<\/strong> FHD 1080p with Privacy Shutter<\/li>\n<li><strong>Audio:<\/strong> Dolby Atmos Speaker System (Stereo speakers, 2W x2 woofers, and 0.8W x2 tweeters)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dimensions:<\/strong> 12.43 x 8.76 x 0.60 inches<\/li>\n<li><strong>Weight:<\/strong> Starting at 2.48 lbs<\/li>\n<li><strong>Price as Specced:<\/strong> $2,249.00<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Design_and_Build_Quality_ThinkPad_Laptops_Always_Deliver\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">Design and Build Quality: ThinkPad Laptops Always Deliver<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of my favorite features of the previous Gen 9 X1 Carbon was its carbon fiber and magnesium chassis, so I was happy to see that return in this Gen 10 model. This material combination is cool to the touch, feels incredibly smooth, and does a great job of dissipating heat.<\/p>\n<p>The only feature I\u2019m not crazy about on this laptop, or any ThinkPad laptop for that matter, is the red TrackPoint in the middle of the keyboard. Personally, I can\u2019t imagine preferring that red dot\u00a0over\u00a0a standard mouse or even the trackpad. That said, this is a hallmark feature of ThinkPads because many people love it and find that it saves them time.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I\u2019m not a fan of the position of the Control and Function keys. I\u2019m used to the Control key being in the corner, not the Function key. If you can\u2019t retrain your brain and keep accidentally pressing the wrong key, you can swap these keys in the settings. But unfortunately, the physical keys will still be mismatched.<\/p>\n<p>Other than those two minor issues\u2014which, again, are entirely personal preference\u2014I loved the overall look and feel of the X1 Carbon Gen 10.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-124714\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/08\/beb25e75.jpg\" alt=\"Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon closeup of keyboard\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Sarah Chaney<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The typing experience is great, which is what I expected. When I reviewed the Gen 9 model, its\u00a0keyboard was comfortable to type on and wasn\u2019t too loud, which is great if you frequently work around other people. What I didn\u2019t expect is that the keyboard could get better. On this Gen 10 model, the keys are slightly more concaved to fit your fingertips better and seem to have a bit more cushioning, resulting in a quieter typing experience.<\/p>\n<p>Moving below the keyboard, I can glide my finger smoothly across the trackpad without hiccups, unlike my recent experience with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/123540\/lenovo-chromebook-duet-3-review-an-affordable-versatile-option\/\">Lenovo\u2019s Chromebook Duet 3. When I clicked with the trackpad, I could certainly hear the click register, but it was super quiet. You\u00a0also have the option to use the left- and right-click buttons above the trackpad. I love having dedicated click buttons, especially when I\u2019m not using an external mouse, so I don\u2019t have to chance accidentally left-clicking when I meant to right-click.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-124709\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/08\/4d30becf.jpg\" alt=\"Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon ports on left side\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Sarah Chaney<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>On the X1 Carbon Gen 10\u2019s left side, you\u2019ll find two USB-C ports, one of which works for charging the laptop. Hopefully, one day we\u2019ll see USB-C charging become the standard for all laptops, but for now, I\u2019ll just rejoice that this one uses it. Though, it would be even better if there was one charging USB-C port on each side; you never know when the closest outlet will be to your right or left. There\u2019s also a USB-A 3.0 port and an HDMI port if you want to connect an extra portable monitor or hook your laptop up to a TV.<\/p>\n<p>Looking to the laptop\u2019s right side, there\u2019s an extra USB-A 3.0 port for any external device you want to hook up and a headphone jack. Because many devices nowadays have Bluetooth capability for headphones, it\u2019s becoming increasingly rare to see a headphone jack on laptops and smartphones. Luckily, the X1 Carbon has both Bluetooth 5.2 and a headphone jack!<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-124710\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/08\/bc862328.jpg\" alt=\"Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon ports on right side\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Sarah Chaney<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Overall, I\u2019d say that Lenovo managed to make improvements to an already great design and build on the X1 Carbon. And no matter how quickly you take photos of this laptop or how often you clean off a desk, there will inevitably be dust in an otherwise great picture. Maybe I\u2019ll chalk it up to my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra taking super detailed photos.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Display_and_Performance_An_Excellent_Value\"><\/span>Display and Performance: An Excellent Value<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I want to preface this section by saying I\u2019m spoiled by my current laptop\u2019s 4K OLED display. I <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/116641\/lenovo-yoga-9i-laptop-review-the-best-2-in-1-companion\/\">reviewed Lenovo\u2019s Yoga 9i\u00a0and then decided I needed it for myself. That said, I realize that most laptops have a 1920 x 1080 resolution, the X1 Carbon Gen 10 included, and to penalize it for not being 4K would be completely unfair.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-124711\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/08\/be3ea70a.jpg\" alt=\"Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon open on desk\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Sarah Chaney<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Its 60Hz refresh rate paired with the 1920 x 1080 resolution looked good in everything I did, from browsing the internet to watching Netflix to playing a video game. The only display-related issue I had was when I tried to play\u00a0<em>Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel<\/em>. For whatever reason, I couldn\u2019t get the game to stop screen tearing. I turned on V-Sync and double-checked all other video settings but couldn\u2019t get it to stop assaulting my eyes.<\/p>\n<p>While I can\u2019t know for sure, I\u2019m guessing something was wrong with the game itself because I tested out\u00a0<em>Stardew Valley<\/em> and\u00a0<em>My Time at Portia<\/em> after and didn\u2019t experience any screen tearing.\u00a0<em>Stardew Valley<\/em> is a smaller and less demanding game, but\u00a0<em>My Time at Portia<\/em> is about the same size as\u00a0<em>Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that issue, the X1 Carbon Gen 10 performed beautifully. I had 30 tabs open simultaneously, and two YouTube videos playing simultaneously, Discord and Steam open, and the CPU percentage barely spiked. Even when I launched games from Steam, Intel\u2019s\u00a0Core i7-1260P processor handled everything seamlessly.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-124713 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3bc7c34f-1.jpg\" alt=\"Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon left side speaker\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Sarah Chaney\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Sarah Chaney<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Plus, the only time the laptop got hot was when it was charging from a low battery percentage. The fans naturally kicked on to help the heat dissipate, and that was the only time I remember the laptop being anything but whisper quiet.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the internals of the X1 Carbon Gen 10 are a lot better value for the price than the Gen 9 I reviewed last year. Both laptops have 512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM, though the Gen 10 model upgraded from LPDDR4 to LPDDR5. But this Gen 10 model has a stunning processor inside, making it well worth the $2000 price tag.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Audio_Cameras_and_Battery_On_Par_With_Industry_Standards\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">Audio, Cameras, and Battery: On Par With Industry Standards<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-124712\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/08\/3bc7c34f.jpg\" alt=\"Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon right side speaker\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Sarah Chaney<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Laptop speakers rarely sound great. Some sound so bad you can barely bring yourself to listen to anything through them, but luckily, that\u2019s not the case with Lenovo\u2019s X1 Carbon Gen 10. I probably wouldn\u2019t listen to music through these speakers, but they\u2019re pretty good for watching a Netflix show or listening to coworkers in a meeting!<\/p>\n<p>Then, the 1080p webcam is a step above the usual 720p most other laptops use. You won\u2019t record professional-looking videos through this webcam, but it\u2019s decent enough for school or work.<\/p>\n<p>Closing out on a high note, the battery life on this gem is awesome! It can easily last an entire eight-hour workday, more if you\u2019re not constantly using it or have the brightness turned down. This is a fantastic feature if you frequently leave the house with your laptop and don\u2019t want to cart around your charging cord.
