Lenovo refreshes the ThinkPad series with Ivy Bridge processors and revamped keyboards, but one model catches the eye-- the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, an ultrabook Lenovo claims is the thinnest and lightest yet.
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a 14" ultrabook with a carbon fibre rollcage, making it thin, light and stiff. It weighs 1.3kg and is 18mm thick at the thickest point.
The display handles 1600x900 resolution with 300 nits of brightness, "wide" viewing angles and a hinge allowing the screen to backwards by 180-degrees.
Inside are a 3rd generation Intel Core i-series processor (with Intel vPro support), a rapid-charge battery (charges up to 80% strength in 35 minutes) and integrated 3G connectivity. Ports include x2 full-size USB 3.0, mini DisplayPort socket, SD card slot and 3.5mm headphone jack.
Other additions to the Lenovo ThinkPad portfolio include the X, T, W and L series, all with improved keyboards, 3rd generation Intel Core processors and RapidBoot technology.
