RelatedThinkPad X series

The ThinkPad X1 series is a line of high-end ThinkPad laptop and tablet computers produced by Lenovo. It is a sub-series of the ThinkPad X series designed to be extra premium with material that make them lighter and portable,[1] having been originally classed as Ultrabooks.[2] While the ThinkPad T series is the flagship ThinkPad line, the ThinkPad X1 series's X1 Carbon specifically has been cited as a flagship model since its introduction in 2012.[3][4]

The current model list contains four product lines:

  • X1 Carbon – mainstream premium 14-inch model
  • X1 Yoga/2-in-1 – the convertible 14-inch version
  • X1 Fold – the first foldable personal computer

Former product lines include:

  • X1 Extreme – 15.6-inch (later 16-inch) advanced ultra-light premium laptop; the same model with a Quadro GPU known as ThinkPad P1
  • X1 Titanium Yoga – a convertible 13.5-inch version with titanium body
  • X1 Nano – a 13.3-inch version – the lightest ThinkPad model

Launch

[edit]
Early X1 model layout

The first laptop with X1 branding was the ThinkPad X1 – the 13-inch sub-compact model, the thinnest and fastest charging business laptop at the time of release in 2011.[5] In contrast with previous 13-inch X series model (X301), it has only one RAM slot and only one storage slot.

In early August 2012, Lenovo released the ThinkPad X1 Carbon as the 14-inch successor to the original ThinkPad X1.[6] The X1 Carbon was first released in China due to the popularity of ThinkPads in that market.[7] In November 2012, Lenovo announced a touch-screen variant called the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch designed for use with Windows 8. Its display makes use of multi-touch technology that can detect simultaneous inputs from up to ten fingers. On the performance of the X1 Carbon Touch's SSD, Engadget states, "The machine boots into the [s]tart screen in 11 seconds, which is pretty typical for a Windows 8 machine with specs like these. We also found that the solid-state drive delivers equally strong read and write speeds (551 MB/s and 518 MB/s, respectively),[8] which we noticed the last time we tested an Ultrabook with an Intel SSD. "

X1 (original)

[edit]

An addition to the lightweight X series, weighing between 1.36 kg to 1.72 kg depending on configuration. It was the thinnest ThinkPad laptop to date at 16.5 (front) and 21.5 mm (rear). The screen is a 13.3-inch (340 mm) LED-backlit HD infinity panel with 1366 × 768 (WXGA) resolution. Base configuration uses an Intel Sandy Bridge 2.5 GHz Core i5-2520M (up to 3.20 GHz) with 4 GiB of RAM (up to 8 GiB), SATA SSD or hard drive, Intel Integrated HD Graphics, USB 3.0, backlit keyboard, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi and an average of eight hours of battery life. The battery is internal and not removable, and there is no optical drive.

The ThinkPad X1 laptop was released by Lenovo in May 2011. Notebook Review offered a positive opinion of the ThinkPad X1, saying that it was, "A powerful notebook that combines the durability and features of a business-class ThinkPad with the style of a consumer laptop."[11] A 13.3-inch X1 ThinkPad was announced to be available in the UK on June 7, 2011.

The specifications[12] of the ThinkPad X1 laptop are given below:

  • Processor: Up to Intel Core i7-2640M (2× 2.80 GHz, 4 MB L3)

X1 Carbon (1st Gen)

[edit]

The X1 Carbon features a solid-state drive (SSD) instead of a hard drive. The base model has 4 GiB of memory, an Intel Core i5-3317U processor, and a 128 GiB SSD. The most expensive model has an Intel Core i7 processor and a 256 GiB SSD. The X1 Carbon requires the use of a dongle to access wired Ethernet and some models include 3G or 4G cellular modems.[15][16]

The base model X1 Carbon has a 14-inch (360 mm) TN screen with a resolution of 1600 by 900 pixels. The X1 Carbon weighs 1.35 kilograms (3.0 lb) and measures 12.8 inches (330 mm) by 8.94 inches (227 mm) by 0.68 inches (17 mm) (at its thickest). The X1 Carbon's roll cage is made of light-weight carbon-fiber[17] and has a matte black finish.[15]

In November 2012, Lenovo announced a touch-screen variant called the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch designed for use with Windows 8. Its display makes use of multi-touch technology that can detect simultaneous inputs from up to ten fingers.[18]

In a review published for CNET, Dan Ackerman wrote, "At first glance, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon looks a lot like other ThinkPads, but in the hand it stands out as very light and portable. The excellent keyboard shows up other ultrabooks, and the rugged build quality is reassuring. With a slightly boosted battery and maybe a lower starting price, this could be a serious contender for my all-around favorite thin laptop."[6]

In another review for CNET, Nicholas Aaron Khoo wrote, "For this geek, there are many things to like about this 14-inch (1600x900 HD+) Ultrabook when it comes to usability when traveling on economy class. These include the backlit and spill-resistant keyboard, side-positioned ports, nice viewing angles, TrackPoint (which not everyone likes), nicely implemented touchpad and biometric login. Unlike it's [sic] poorer cousin, the Lenovo IdeaPad U410, it is able to go into hibernate mode without having the user jump through hoops to enable it."[19]

On the X1 Carbon Touch's SSD performance Engadget states, "The machine boots into the [s]tart screen in 11 seconds, which is pretty typical for a Windows 8 machine with specs like these. We also found that the solid-state drive delivers equally strong read and write speeds (551 MB/s and 518 MB/s, respectively), which we noticed the last time we tested an Ultrabook with an Intel SSD."[20]

2012 Touch

[edit]

In a review for Engadget, Dana Wollman wrote, "Starting with ergonomics, this has one of the best keyboard / touchpad combinations we've seen on a laptop, and that's not even counting that signature red pointing stick. We're also enamored with the design: aside from being well-made, the X1 Carbon Touch is also notably thin and light [at 1.55kg] for a 14-inch machine, especially one with a touchscreen. The display is hardly our favorite, what with the narrow viewing angles, but at least the 1,600 × 900 resolution is nice and crisp."[20]

In its review of the X1 Carbon Touch, Wired wrote, "Lenovo also hasn't forgotten about the things that users actually care about. Audio is impressive and Dolby-certified. The keyboard is backlit and fully usable, and the glass touchpad was rock solid on this go-round with the Carbon." In its final verdict Wired stated that an "Excellent combination of performance, portability, and durability" and "the best keyboard going" make the Touch 'Wired."[21]

X1 Carbon (2nd Gen)

[edit]
2nd Gen X1 Carbon (right)

The 2014 X1 Carbon features a 4th generation Intel processor and an "Adaptive Keyboard" touch bar where the function keys are normally located. The Home and End keys replaced the Caps Lock key, requiring the user to double-press the Shift key to activate Caps Lock. The Delete key was also repositioned to the right of the Backspace key instead of above it.[24]

Peter Bright wrote a disparaging review for Ars Technica. He found the X1 Carbon with the Lenovo named "Adaptive Keyboard" to be near perfect but unusable because the keyboard was so non-standard when compared with that of a desktop, the older ThinkPad T410s and Lenovo Helix keyboards. As a touch typist, he despairs at the removal of the function keys, and the repositioning of Caps Lock, replacing it with Home End, and, that pretty much each little-finger key has moved.[25]

X1 Carbon (3rd Gen)

[edit]

The 2015 X1 Carbon features a 5th generation Intel Core processor. Lenovo reverted to the traditional Function row from the innovative but confusing Adaptive Function Row, and resumed using dedicated mouse buttons under the TrackPoint. A fingerprint reader is to the right of the keyboard and can be used to log into Windows.[27]

In a review for Laptop Magazine, Mark Spoonauer wrote, "The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is easily one of the best business ultraportables available. While on the pricey side, the $1,754 configuration I reviewed delivers everything I want in a laptop: long battery life, a comfortable typing experience and strong overall performance. The X1 Carbon's design doesn't wow, but it's light and feels like it can stand up to abuse. However, the lack of an SD card slot is annoying, and I wish the 14-inch display were as bright as it is sharp[27]

In January 2016 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Lenovo presented their fourth generation X1 Carbon.[29]

X1 Yoga

[edit]

The first generation of the X1 Yoga was released in 2016, featuring a 14 in (36 cm) touchscreen with a 360-degree hinge. Unlike many other laptops in the X1 series, it features a stylus and a dedicated slot for it. Like many others in the X1 series, the X1 Yoga features a built-in fingerprint sensor, multiple USB ports, an HDMI port, and support for up to Intel i7 processors.[30]

X1 Tablet (1st Gen)

[edit]

The X1 Tablet was Lenovo's first attempt at integrating a 2-in-1 Surface-like device into the X series. Following in the footsteps of the Thinkpad Helix, this new device was meant to appeal to those who want a thin and light laptop on the go. Featuring a 12" 3:2 FHD+ display with a resolution of 2160x1440 pixels (216.33 PPI) at a peak brightness of 360 nits. The tablet came with the option to configure the processor with the 6th gen core M series, an ultra low power version of the existing Core i Series. Storage could be configured up to 1TB on an NVME SSD. RAM was configurable up to 16GB. The tablet itself without the keyboard is 291.5 mm × 209.5 mm × 8.75 mm (11.48" × 8.25" × 0.34"). The tablet weighs 767 grams (1.69 Ibs) by itself, but could weigh as much as 1,310 grams (2.89 Ibs) with the addition of the keyboard and the productivity module. Lenovo claims ~10 hours of battery life.

The computer came with a pen and the type cover in the box. When this tablet was released, there were external modules that could be attached using the bottom of the device. By default, there was a blanking plate that covers the module connectors. Once removed, you can connect docking accessories to the device. There were three models from Lenovo that could be connected.[31]

The first was a productivity module that added an extra USB 3.0 Type A port, HDMI port, and a 24Wh battery that could extend your battery life by about ~5 hours according to Lenovo.[32]

The second module was a projector module that contained a pico projector, HDMI, and a 10Wh battery for the module itself.[33]

The third module that was released was a 3D camera attachment.[34] However, this was more built for specialized 3D mapping tasks.

The design is derived from 6th generation ThinkPad X1 Carbon, with the ThinkShutter privacy camera included by default (except for models with an IR camera), 15W 8th generation Core i5/i7 quad core processors and a built-in stylus. OLED screens are no longer an option.[42][43]

X1 Tablet (3rd Gen)

[edit]

The X1 Tablet 3rd gen went through a major redesign from the first two generations. The design changes include no compatibilty with OneLink+ modules, a larger screen, consolidation of ports, a tented rear kickstand, and a design more centered around Surface Devices at the time. This design served as the basis for the successor in the x12 Detachable Series.

The Screen was changed to a larger 13 inch 3.2 IPS Multi-Touch display with a resolution of 3000x2000 pixels (277.35 PPI) rated at 400 nits. The processors were upgraded to the 8th generation Intel Core i series, unlike previous generation which used the ultra low powered core M series CPUs. The RAM was configurable up to 16GB of soldered memory. The Storage could be configured up to a 1TB NVMe SSD. The device, with folio keyboard is 304.1 mm × 226 mm × 14.4 mm (11.97" × 8.9" × 0.57"). The Device, with folio keyboard, weighs 1.27Kg (2.8 Ibs). Lenovo claims a battery life of 9.5hrs on a single charge.
