At just 2.2 pounds , it’s the lightest ThinkPad X1 Carbon ever—by a considerable margin.

Lenovo 's laptop line dates back to 2012 , but even those loyal to the most ultra of ultrabooks may do a double-take.

The design is top-shelf, for the most part, but the experience here is not entirely wine and roses.

Performance is in line with other Series 2 Core Ultra laptops of late.

The $ 2,000 + cost (as configured) is generally what you’d expect from the always premium-priced ThinkPad brand.

While some growing pains may be evident here, I’m still a fan, operating under the assumption that they’ll be remedied over time.
