Just what I have been looking for...
I really like this laptop for so many reasons. It is fast, light, sleek, and a powerhouse for casual work and emails but great for multimedia and video. I still have and use my 2nd Gen X1 Carbon which I am currently upgrading for continued service. A very wise and useful investment to be honest.

Highly recommend!
After using yoga 720 for 4 years, I was pretty satisfied with the brand so decided to buy anothet laptop from Lenovo.
I didn't want to get a cheap laptop just for the basics - wanted something that can function properly and fast even when I'm running multiple programs such as premiere pro, photoshop and etc. After doing lot of research, I decided to try ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 and so happy that I made this purchase.
Nice price, light weighted (extremely surprised), low fan noise (another surprise), and big memory storage. I haven't tried playing rpg game yet, but I think it will work fine.
Highly recommened!!

Upgraded Laptop for Work
I needed a new laptop that not only was portable for travel, but also versatile for business. This was recommended by a friend and I have been extremely happy with it. The color on the graphics are bright, the keypad has an easy touch and it was very easy to set up. I like the features on it and am still figuring out all the bells and whistles. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Great little laptop
This laptop is light and thin but has all the connectivity ports one would want. Wish it had shipped a little faster as I was without for a few days but given all the supply chain issues I considered myself lucky. I'm still addicted to the little red trackpoint. One of the few keyboards that still has it.

Small design with a lot of features!
I've been using this laptop for my business for about a week and can't say enough how much I am enjoying it. Its fast, lightweight and incredibly portable. While the computer is small, it definitely doesn't seem that way. I was on the fence between this and the X1 Titanium Yoga. I ultimately decided to go with this computer and couldn't be happier.

Exactly the same as my X1 Carbon 7th gen
This laptop looks and feels exactly the same as my X1 Carbon 7th edition. I now have the 3840 screen, which is very nice and bright, but very glossy. Battery life is sub par with about 3-4 hours with light use. Also, the laptop whines every few minutes, it sounds like it has a mechanical HDD in it that spins up periodically.

Excellent laptop but not long-lasting
This computer impressed me initially and was everything I needed, but right after the yearlong warranty ended, despite very gentle use and no physical damage, it 1) stopped recognizing my battery, and 2) randomly powers down sometimes with no warning even when plugged in. My last ThinkPad lasted 10 years; this one is having serious issues after just a year. Very displeased and probably will not invest in another Lenovo.

I do think the material used has a nice finish to it but it seems it gets marks from the hands pretty quickly and I have been using it for only about a week and can already see marks where the palm of the hands lay. marks that don't seem to come off.

So far so good! I've had this laptop for about a month and it's exactly what I needed for everyday computing and basic business functions. The screen is clear and bright. The sound quality is good. The speed is good. And although it is quite light, it feels very sturdy and hardy and I don't feel like I have to worry about banging it by accident.

Thinkpad X1 Carbon is Leader in Business series
Purchased ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 on Black Friday deal. No doubt best pricing on Lenovo website.
On top of pricing delivery was fast, although it was online shopping season.
ThinkPad X1 Carbon series is maestro of laptop in business laptops across different brands, I believe. Opened box and it surpassed my expectation. Excellent quality and finish. Starting from Keyboard, screen resolution etc all as per described.
No complains so far
Thank you lenovo

Great product.... now that it turns on
This is my first Lenovo product and now that the initial disappointment has worn off, I am much happier about the laptop. Right out of the box, it did not power on -- even after charging it for 4 hours twice at 2 different outlets. The charge light did not even turn on. I contacted the customer support bot but was given no further instructions on what to do when the automated suggestions failed. Then out of the blue a few days later, I received a return box in the mail presumably to return it but there was no correspondence or instructions.
I ended up bringing it in to my corporate IT department who was able to fix it by "jump starting" it with an external battery. Since then, it's been working fine even after completely discharging the battery. I'm wary of keeping it but also equally concerned that it will just get shipped back since nothing is wrong (I really don't want a laptop that's been jostled more but postage carriers. It seems to be working fine for the past 2 weeks now.
I gave -1 stars because of the subpar customer service communication. Product is good now but now I'm questioning the longevity...
I'm an engineer and former database programmer -- not super hardware literate but also not a newb.

Great computer with good features
This computer exceeded expectations. Overall, the computer has a great, ergonomic design, with excellent features. The fingerprint scanner is useful for quick logins, and I can even use it to sign in to some websites. The touch screen is responsive and sensitive, making it good for design due to the variety of finger gestures that it accepts.
The included RAM makes the computer very fast, though I do wish it had 1 TB of storage space instead of 512 GB. The keyboard is very nice, and the privacy screen functionality is a cool feature, although I wish the base (max) brightness of the laptop was a bit more luminous.
Overall quite satisfied with this purchase; very good computer at a reasonable price.

Disappointed and frustrated
This laptop looks nice and the screen is the perfect size and has good clarity. However, the fan is constantly running, which is extremely loud and annoying when in class. The laptop freezes up frequently and goes to sleep often no matter how the settings are set. The battery life on this device is worse than the six year old Chromebook I was working with before. After spending a huge dollar amount on this computer to use for school, I'm very frustrated and annoyed with the product. Unfortunately, I purchased this summer and it didn't get much use before school started so I am outside the return window. If I could, I would return this laptop immediately and replace with a useable device. I wouldn't recommend the ThinkPad X1 Carbon to anyone.

Machine was very unstable. Lots of crashes and locking up. Failed Lenova's hardware test. Returned for motherboard swap after 1 week of ownership. What happened to IBM quality after the brand was sold to China?

This is the second ThinkPad I have owned. The portability of the machine is great for my job and I have not had any software issues. The Caps Lock button does stick, just as t did on last model. Other than that, it's terrific.

Replacement laptop
I have been so pleased with my current think pad, I ordered 2 new ones. It is a fast laptop with a touchscreen. It works great, and is light weight. The only thing I did not pay attention when ordering it was the size, which is smaller than my old laptop. I am older and prefer the larger scteen.

Laptop arrived one day faster then I was told. This is my second X1 Carbon (other is 4 years old and still going strong). Got this one as it was on sale and had a bigger SSD and RAM. Was surprised that this had a touch screen, as I do not recall it being mentioned in the specs.

Great for designers except
I used a macbook pro and a surface before this. The one thing that stands out that I don't like is that the buttons are not backlit which I surprisingly need more often than I would think I need that. the pen can sometimes be fritzy but otherwise it's a great machine and does all the design work that I want. There's not many aftermarket protection accessories available for it though.

No microSD card slot, trackpad buttons
Needs the following updates :
- Add micro SD card slot - no excuse for leaving this out
- should do away with trackpad buttons for a larger trackpad as gestures are actually better than buttons
- Case needs a different color to provide contrast between keys and case

Good notebook w/ silly charger
I'm happy with the notebook. It's super lightweight. It performs well. The one thing I'm disappointed with is that the USB-C cable coming out of the charger is hardwired. When the cable end inevitably bends or breaks, it means a whole new charger instead of a simple cable replacement. Seems like a silly (or calculated) oversight and I would've expected a better choice there.

Excellent laptop for work from home life
Excellent laptop! I upgraded to the Carbon Gen 8 after 2 previous Lenovos (which carried me through grad school and my first couple jobs). With work-from-home expected for the next year for me, I wanted a new laptop that would preform faster. The Carbon Gen 8 delivers! I can turn on the laptop minutes before a video call without expecting any delays in start up or programs. I frequently have a remote server open, as well as several applications, and the laptop is very fast and switches easily between the applications. I love the new top row functions with the pick up/hang up call option. The battery life has been very good-- I am able to be very mobile in my house as I move from room to room. I usually only charge the laptop in the evening while sleeping. This was a big investment for me but I expect the laptop to hold up over the next couple years. Definiately recommend.

Good but disappointed with battery life.
There are many ways that I like the laptop. It's a quality device. There is one area of disappointment and that is battery life. I intentionally ordered a 1080 screen so that I would have longer battery life. I was expecting something around 8 to 9 hours of regular use and it has been more like 5 or 6. That isn't all that much better than the Lenova Yoga I had before.

Privacy Screen feature made laptop unusable
This was my 3rd Lenovo X1 but it was unlike the first 2 in one very important way. The screen display was unacceptable and I returned it. You could only see the screen clearly if you viewed it head on. If you were a few inches to the side it started to grey out. I believe they had a bunch of bad screens and decided to make it a feature - the "privacy screen". This is a very bad "feature" as it made the laptop unusable for me.

It is a great laptop. Very light and the upgraded 4k screen is really something.
Battery lasts a lot and it boots in less than 1 second.
The only thing I'd say could be better (and Microsoft is also to blame here) is that there is no visible highlight, either in paper, on the OS boot menu...nothing...about migrating your data from your old PC.
I understand Microsoft's position. They don't want to harm any of their licensed manufacturers, but huge icon triggering a LENOVO<->LENOVO data transfer tool would be appreciated.

One of the best laptops I have used
This is my first Thinkpad, and so far, I am satisfied with my Thinkpad X1 Carbon 8th gen. I got mine in November 2020 but waited sometime before I write my review.
I am a researcher (in ecohydrology), and most of my tasks are writing (reports, papers, and proposals), running models, and performing statistical analysis in R and Python. I am also a Linux user. I have been using Dell since 2011, but I decided to buy a Thinkpad because they're famous for durability and the keyboard. After a lot of time reading reviews and watching YouTube videos, I decided to get the X1 carbon. Of course, I could get other Thinkpad most potent with the same money, but overall, this one seemed to be the best option for my daily uses. This is still a very powerful machine (Core i7 with 16 GB of ram).
Things that I liked:
- Amazing keyboard (the BEST I've used);
Lightweight;
- Good battery;
- Different ports (USB-C, USB A, HDMI, headphone jack);
- Camera cover (think shield);
- Touchpad with bottoms on top;
Things I did not like (but it's okay, for me, these are not the reason for not buying it):
- The Skype dedicated keys (FN + F9-F12). They're not useful for Linux (and I bought mine with Linux Fedora!);
- Position of Fn and Ctrl. You will get used to it, but when you switch computers, it's a bit annoying. Although I can change it on the BIOS can, but I do not like this "solution," I am rather to get used to it.
- The keyboard backlit. In Linux, it is always on if you turn it on. Just turns off when the screen is off. I hope Lenovo releases an upgrade of the BIOS, allowing setup the time for the keyboard lights to turn off if no one is typing.

I'm still working on getting use to. My prior laptop was the Lenova Ideapad 330 which seems ginormous compared to ThinkPad X Carbon. I loved my Ideapad 330 but I will say the performance packed in this itsy-bitsy ThinkPad defiantly surpasses the gargantuan Ideapad and OMG so much lighter.

Nice computer!
Great laptop. Very light, fast, does everything I need and then some. Really like the display as well. I'm not a "laptop connoisseur", so I can't compare it with anything other than my ancient Sony and my Surface Pro 3, but it's light years ahead of those, anyway.

Laptop great but not happy with Rewards.
I really like my Lenovo X1 carbon, set up was easy and straight forward. I'm not much of a tech type person so just needed the internet and Outlook. I'm retired. It's fast and everything works great, no problems.
Only complaint is with your Lenovo Rewards program, I've purchased 3 laptops since May 2020 and have not received any credit for any of them on my account. Sad but true!! When I purchased the 2nd and 3rd laptop 2021 on my account we had to use Customer service to help us because it was Cyber Monday. No one on Chat/Customer service told me about it and how to sign up for it. So now they say I don't get credit for the purchases. To me it's not the way to treat REPEAT customers. I mean come on shouldn't your program be something you tell the customer about and allow them to get credit even after the purchase. Other vendors have that.

Almost perfect
Overall, this is an awesome laptop - great processor, plenty of memory (I have a 16 GB version), and a bright, matte anti-glare touchscreen. About the only knock I have against it is Lenovo’s privacy guard. If you run the screen at full brightness, it’s not effective and at 50% (the sweet-spot for my office), it feels like it is impossible to turn the privacy filter completely off. Anything other than the center of the screen sees an immediate and noticeable drop off in brightness and color intensity - both vertically and horizontally- almost like someone has a vignette filter applied to the screen. Ultimately I had to replace it with a non-privacy guard display X8. I’ll review that after I see how the battery life is impacted by the 4K display.

Minor improvements, minor gripes vs Gen4
Went from Gen 4 to Gen 8. Tons of minor improvements. Keyboard still great. Materials and squared edges feel better. Webcam cover and USB-C are great adds.
Touchpad seems to perform better on my Gen and buttons above touchpad are much easier to find on Gen 4. Fingerprint reader is way too far inboard.
All minor gripes as long as this thing holds up for 3-4 years.

Great laptop! Customer service could be better.
Overall, I love my new laptop. It is lightweight, fast and moves between applications smoothly. I'm still wondering if I should have bought one with a touchscreen but so far it doesn't really impact my work that much. I wish the backlight on the keyboard would stay on all the time instead of having to turn it on each time. I'm assuming that's about saving the battery. The 14" inch screen is just right for me. My only complaint is actually with a customer service issue I had. It was very difficult to try and get ahold of anyone for help with really long hold times.

This is my second ThinkPad x1 Carbon and I am thoroughly satisfied with the quality, build, and especially the keyboard.

There's plenty good about this laptop; it's really light and convenient. The only downside is the power up issue I had:
Cord plugged in, hit the power button and nothing happens. Unplug the power cord, replug and I get three blinks from the light on the power button. Some googling gave me the courage to take off the back panel and look for any loose cables. I didn't find anything amiss, but I did press a little button on the underside of the computer. Not sure if that is what solved my issue, but the laptop worked after replacing the back panel.
Mind you -- I've only had this machine for a month. Shouldn't have major issues like the laptop not turning on this early.

great home laptop
No problems, easy to use just like my work laptop but thinner and quicker. I actually received a Dell XPS13 laptop as a gift but it keep freezing and the cause of much frustration. I find the LENOVO has a nifty face password that allows me to open it without typing my password

I have been using laptop computers since 1987. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 is one of the best laptops I have ever owned/used. It had all the features I wanted plus it had the track point. I got quite use to track points back when most laptops had them.

Very nice quality machine. Some wireless issues.
At this point which is less than a month, I am very happy with the feel and quality of the X1 carbon. It is incredibly light, the Screen is vivid and the Keyboard is very nice. We have had good luck with using the webcam and it is fast enough to do streaming well. My only complaint is that it is always one of the first devices to get kicked off our wireless connection which only allows 10 devices, and the X1 does not automatically reconnect when we turn off other devices.

I am not a techie person and rely on a friend for hardware recommendations. He bought one of these for himself as well. This is my first laptop and I am very pleased with how all works and how fast it is. The only thing I would change is for it to have an automatic keyboard backlight that switches on with the press of any key. Overall very easy to use and luckily for me, very intuitive.

Ultimately Satisfied Customer
In December 2019 I purchased a 7th Gen Carbon X1 which proved to be the worst computer of any kind that I had ever purchased, full of hardware failures and software glitches. After 3 on-site visits by Lenovo technicians over the course of 10 months, Lenovo, on its own, replaced the computer and the docking station with an equivalent, brand new 8th Gen X1 and docking station -both backed by a new, full 2 year warranty.
This new machine has, so far, proven to be the equal in quality and functionality of any of the 3 Thinkpads (T41,T42,W500) I have owned over the past 20 years, all of which are still working for me in some capacity. This 8th Gen machine is quiet, rugged and light, the keyboard is what you expect from the best in the business and the new docking station is a vast improvement over the old one. Lenovo’s customer support in this instance proved to be beyond outstanding and I am very happy that they live up to, and in this instance exceed, the standard established way back when in the IBM days. My loyalty to the brand was rewarded. Good machine and great service from folks who, ultimately, made it right.

Carbon Gen 8 Best Computer
For the past 20 years, I have always purchased Dell laptops for home and office uses. Maybe because I grew up in Austin, but I felt some kind of tie to them. A few years ago, work issued me a Lenovo laptop and I loved it. This purchase is my first and so far it has been great. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 Laptop has exceeded my expectations. It is fast for the type of work I am doing and it is a great size/weight. I look forward to using it over the next few years, and then buying a new one.

I've lost track of how many Thinkpads I've had in my lifetime I'm been using them for over 20 years. It's not that I will only use this brand but it's just a few key things I need that are all in the X1. I'm looking for a good reliable machine with good support. I'm not a tech person. I'm not going to compare specs. What I need to be able to do is a bunch of project and not worry about a crash. I need something I can drop and will work all over the world. This is the X1. If you travel for work I can tell you this is the computer you want.

Amazing Laptop
I am an engineering student and I was a little skeptical about this laptop not having a separate graphics card for the high end software. So far, this laptop has handled the software extremely well for what I was anticipating. My only complaints for this laptop isn't even really about the laptop itself. The shipping on this laptop was a bit of a hassle process, and I believe that the thunderbolt dock should either A come with the laptop or B be cheaper to buy. As for the laptop itself it is amazing. Graphics are incredible, Speed is very good as well, the 14 inch size is great for students taking it to and from class, as well as travel in general. All in all the laptop itself is a 5 star would definitely buy again, but thinkpads are built to last so I probably won't have to buy another.

Great overall sound, little noise when it is on battery but compared to the other laptops I have had it is nothing. I like everything about it so far no complains yet. I bought the Lenovo docker also and again no issues with the drivers and stuff I just plugged all external monitors, mic, external SSD on the docker and everything works.

Not a laptop, a workhorse!!!
This laptop is a workhorse! It allows you to work on multiple projects, on multiple screens and applications, without slowing down! It allows you to quickly transition from one page, application or screen to the next with NO lag time! It is small, but powerful! Its size makes it very portable, but just because it is small doesn't mean you sacrifice processing speed or storage space! It may be a little more costly, but if you don't want to regret your laptop purchase, and start making plans to save for a new one as soon as you get it, invest in yourself, your productivity, and your sanity by buying this laptop!

Great laptop
I love this laptop. It is lightweight and easy to transport. It runs smoothly and quickly. The battery life is decent and luckily I don't need to be anywhere I can't plug it in so that's not an issue for me.

Still a great laptop
This is my second X1 Carbon (Core i7, vPro 16G ram, just like the old one) and it replaced a 5 year old one which I love, but the battery life is fading. In addition the old one preceded release of Windows 10 and for some reason has always retained something from the old operating system which makes some Windows 10 features unreliable. So it was time for a new one. This one runs great and the battery life is back to excellent. It seems a lot flimsier than my old one though, from the feel of the case to the touchpad function, to that tiny USB charging point, which already wobbles. Although I still like this model for its speed and portability, I am wondering whether it will hold up as well as my last one.

It’s is great for working. I use my computer for both school and work and it is always up to speed. The battery life is amazing and only takes ten minutes to fully charge and it lasts all day. I would highly recommend this computer to anyone who spends a lot of time on their computer.

Good, not great
It's a great computer, super fast. I have had it for about a month and love it. But I do have to mention that it is connected to a bigger screen and every once in a while it freezes and I have to restart it, this should not happen with this computer, specially for the type of things I am using it for.

review
Everything is almost perfect for my personal use. The screen is sharp and accurate, the keyboard is a work of art and I too will produce art with it, there are many inputs which is really great. The weight and durability of this machine is just out of this world when you think about its components absolute technological wonder. One thing that's not so great is its webcam as it goes by business machine and sometimes I accidentally turnoff the machine due to its unorthodox placement of its power button. The track point too is such a convenience. Thus I rate it 4.4 out of 5

Never worked properly once!
I had this laptop for a little under a year and it has never functioned properly. I ran multiple diagnostic tests and Lenovo claims it should be working just fine. My suspicion is the fan isn’t working correctly because my laptop will “auto lock” itself every 15 minutes, making it impossible to join zoom meetings/ work effectively at all. The customer service is very responsive but offered ZERO help in fixing my issues. I HIGHLY reccomend spending the extra few bucks on a MAC that is my plan moving forward. #neveragain #verycheaplaptop

Great Laptop! Wait for a Sale if you can!
I think this laptop is a great work horse compared to other machines in this space. I stopped buying Dells when we started having weird repetitive issues with the XPS13 lineup. As a result I've purchased close to 50 of these laptops and have not had a single failure. My only gripe is Lenovo's pricing model. They list a grossly inflated "web price" which is laughable and you purchase using an E-coupon meant to make you feel like you're saving money when you're not.

Constant issues
My greatest annoyances with this laptop:
1. Laptop consistently has connection issues to WiFi. None of my other laptops or devices in the house drop the connection, but this laptop drops the connection dozens of times per day.
2. Fingerprint reader works about 1/10 log-in attempts. Incredibly frustrating. I have reset it multiple times, re-installed the drivers, and every other solution offered, and it still doesn't work. If you google Thinkpad X1 finger print reader, you'll see that there are hundreds of people pointing out the same issue.
3. The laptop material is matte black and has a nice tactile feel. However, it also picks up smudges like crazy, the laptop constantly looks dirty.

Best Thinkpad product I've ever owned
This has been a very enjoyable product to use (have had for two months). My last Thinkpad was a t450s and while the machine still works great this X1 Carbon is a definite upgrade. It feels very sleek and professional. On top of consistent performance, sound quality was surprisingly good. The occasional glitch has usually been corrected by a driver update within a couple days. Webcam quality is a bit weak but that only is an issue if you're not trying to justify purchasing a higher quality standalone webcam. ;)

The X1 Carbon Gen 8 was delivered quickly and securely packaged. Had a hard time deciding but I'm very happy I selected the X1 Carbon Gen 8. Solid construction yet extremely LIGHT.

Great for Ubuntu 20.04 with minimal effort.
This works great with Ubuntu 20.04. I installed Gnome tweaks and lib-input for the multitouch gestures as someone moving from OS X to Linux. I did not need any additional drivers and just had to switch the BIOS settings to respond as Linux for when the lid is shut, not Windows.
I would recommend this to anyone looking to make the transition. The unit is very light and portable as well. One thing to note is that the screen is high resolution which has advantages sometimes, but normally the UI does the 200% zoom on Ubuntu.

Update my Gen 6th X1 with this one
This is the second installment of X1 that I bought, with this in mind, I have an issue with the location of the power button, it is on at odd position.
In Performance it is a huge difference even it is just a 2 generation with the processor of the old one.
The one thing I really liked about the Lenovo X1 is its keyboard and trackpad they are excellent.
Other notable issue that have with this model was the temperature when use it in your lap our use it with a full load of work, it can turn a little hot, even in the keyboard in the right side where the vent is.
A side from that I think it is a great buy, very light to carry when you are traveling, and the battery life is amazing with a easy use you can last a full day with one charge.

Good replacement for a MacBook Air!
I was looking for a small, travel-friendly, Windows-based laptop to use with the Microsoft Office programs when on the road. I had been a MacBook Air user for a number of years, but there are compatibility issues for PowerPoint presentations that I needed to avoid, hence the move to a Windows package. I had a work Lenovo that I was having to return due to retirement. after some research, I decided the ThinkPad X1 would meet my needs. It is about the same weight as the MacBook Air, good screen, excellent memory options (hard disk and RAM), it has the "eraser head" mouse option. It was on sale at the end of 2020. Although the initial delivery was projected to be in March-2021, it ended up being delivered in January, 2021.
I found it quite easy to set up. There wasn't a lot of unnecessary software pre-installed. The full size HDMI port made it easy to connect to the Samsung big screen TV in my "home office." It has definitely turned out to be a good, high-powered travel laptop!

Hard drive was damaged from the factory and had to be returned. Since this happened so quickly after purchase I returned the product and will not be replacing it. I liked the size and portability overpriced in my opinion though.

Runs fast and works great for zoom
I bought this laptop because my old one kept crashing during zoom meetings. So far this laptop has worked great, it runs zoom with no issue while I have other tabs open at the same time. The fingerprint scanner and physical webcam cover are really nice additions. It is super lightweight which is a plus for carrying it to school.

Wisely Chosen
I have dual roles as a partner in a consulting business and a full-time employee of a service company. I needed a laptop that could handle the demands of running and supporting a business with a high degree of security and dependability. I have owned both HP and Lenovo desktop and laptop computers over the most recent 10 years. Both brands do have affordable and reliable equipment. However, I have to give the reliability edge to Lenovo and that is why I chose the X1 Carbon. I am very happy with this laptop and expect to have it for a long time. One of the best features is a well-designed keyboard with a slightly raised profile that makes it way easier to type accurately than the flush models I have used. The security and ruggedness of this model is superior and I was able to choose my preferences of 16GB wired RAM, 10th Gen Intel i5 processor, with superior graphics card, a higher caliber screen resolution and refresh rate, and a 512 SSD drive. Because I chose the 14 inch I do not have a right-side number pad and will have to use the top row number keys, but I am fine with that. It is very lightweight and easily portable. I was able to take advantage of a serious sale in February and saved $1700 on the model I customized. Choose wisely when you purchase electronics...you do get what you are willing to pay for and this laptop is completely worth the cost.

Lenovo Delivers
I had to wait about three-four weeks for my order, but the wait was worth it. don't let the size fool you: It's light as a feather, but robust! speed was a must; sound quality and graphics are solid. One feature that's probably not a big deal for everyone but for someone who types extensively, the keyboard design and typing "feedback" matter. Lenovo delivered. So my only complaint? While the finger security feature is nice, I've learned it is incredibly fickle so I've just gotten to where I bypass and type in the pin.

Worst computer!!!!!
It is the worst laptop I've ever had. With 30 days I had to have it replace as it freezes frequently and no one can fix it. The replacement I got was even worst, not only it freezes the entire laptop, I can't even force shut down as it stays freezing mode. Other than that the laptop is heated up to 81%. Also it doesn't wake up after it goes to sleep, I have tried all ways to wake it but doesn't help. I had to press the pin hole for it to work again. This is the worst experience I've ever had.

Fast, lightweight, sturdy and reliable
I was looking for a workhorse laptop and chose the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 with Fedora. This is very fast, lightweight, sturdy, and reliable with long battery life. I love the keyboard feel and I am a long time fan of trackpoint mouse movement. Fedora 32 doesn't use the fingerprint reader (not important to me. It's too bad that the unit requires a separate RJ45 extension connector but that's fairly cheap. The case has a nice non-slippery feel and is standing up to travel better than some aluminum case laptops I've used. Fedora works quite nicely on this unit and I've modified the BIOS for virtualization and am happily running several other operating system environments.

Worked well for 2.5 years, then the battery died
After the first year or so I started getting warnings that the AC adapter has lower voltage than the the AC adapter which was shipped with the system. I was using the original adapter. I had also noticed from day 1 that the machine would get quite hot, which is not good for the battery, Now, after only 2.5 years of moderate use, the battery suddenly died. I also have a 5 year old MacBook Pro with the original battery that still works. The worst part is that Lenovo cannot sell me a replacement, which is backordered with no ETA. Thanks Lenovo!

Satisfied with X1 Carbon
Good PC, was what I was expecting. Purchased this to start up a business with but still handles PC games very well. I wish the screen was a little larger at times and the keyboard is dark if your lighting is bad. No 10 key was easily remedied with a BT keyboard. Overall I'm satisfied with this product. Start up is fast and that is nice

Solid laptop for my office staff
I've purchased about 20 of these machines over the past year for my office staff. Solid devices that work better with the USB-C docking stations than prior Lenovo models. The only issue I've run into is that the microphone drivers have issues on all the machines, causing the microphone to not be found until you reboot. Rolling back the driver to the February 2020 versions seems to do the trick.

Dead System from
3 new laptops, all w/problems, 1 new motherboard.
Work purchased 2 brand new identical systems. One for my daily work (email, meetings, video conferencing, etc.), the other for my research and development (R&D) work, for software development, virtual machines, Visual Studio, etc. From day one both systems would act up locking once or twice a day hard, forcing me to have to power them off (long button hold). The work system became rapidly worse and worse. Until finally it started making all kinds of beeping and jingle tones when powered on. They sent a technician to put in a new motherboard in my work system while I limped along on my R&D system. (tok about a week even though premium business support). But also the work one inexplicably shipped with bitlocker on, and nobody had the key (not our IT department or anyone else (I did not setup factory setup). So had to completely blow away at the key level and file another support ticket to get the restore image to download to USB on another system, then run the factory reset (took 12 hours to re-image!). Finally the following week (2 weeks dead system, and 6 weeks since I received the laptop new), system is running, and I'm reinstalling everything. Meanwhile, the R&D system keeps randomly dropping the wifi card (turns wifi on and off), and is starting to lock up hard 1-3 times per day. I have an important demo tomorrow where I have to run several VM's. It took me weeks to get everything setup on it, so I can't risk a replacement or wipe yet. After tomorrow's demo, I'll file a support ticket about the locking up for the R&D laptop, and we'll see what we find is wrong with that one. I have lost a LOT of productivity between these two new systems. A co-worker, who started the same week I did, and has another identical to my two, has been having similar lockup and other weird networking issues on his as well. When they run, they are decent, but so far not happy, and have lost a LOT of productivity.

I spent more than I planned for a new work-from-home PC with enterprise capabilities, but so far I'm very happy with the Carbon Gen 8 and it might be the best PC I've owned. It was very easy to setup and start using immediately and I love how light and portable it is. My one complaint is that there's no ethernet port but I'm getting an adapter.

Excellent Hardware. Flawed Fedora Installation.
I have nothing but good things to say about the hardware. The Ethernet and wireless connections are very fast, the CPU and NVME memory are excellent and the touchscreen is excellent and the fingerprint sensor actually works under Linux.
However, I chose the Fedora option and I wound up wiping it out. It was 2 releases old (the OS is updated every 6 months) and the choice of partitioning schemes was bad for me (LVM + xfs + multiple partitions) and too hard to work around or alter. XFS on a laptop is pointless. If you would like Linux installed, Ubuntu is probably a more sensible choice and I probably would have worked with that.

Excellent Laptop
I've used many laptops over the years and this is absolutely the best device I've had and woudl highly recommend it. I was originally concerned with the screen size, but he clarity of the screen more than makes up for it, plus the smaller size makes it very suitable for use in flight. It is the laptop I've been seeking for ages.
The hard drive size is great as i have years of data and is readily accessible in a very quick fashion. It is very easy to review large amounts of data should the need occur, including those pesky multi-meg excel spreadsheets some are found of sending around.
Finally, the weight of this product about the same as a tablet and a welcome replacement to carry around. I cannot recommend this highly enough and have already made it a standard device in the company for those needing large capacity, fast systems.

The X1 Carbon just keeps getting better
This Gen 8 is my third Lenovo X1 Carbon, and they just keep getting better. I was previously a Sony laptop user, but have to say that the Lenovo is a far superior machine. The Gen 8 is lightning fast and continues to be super light for traveling. My only (small) gripe would be the power on/off switch has moved to the side and it not easy to operate without using your finger nail to press it in.

I'LL NEVER LEAVE HOME AGAIN
Pilots around the world often ask me which computer I prefer. Thinkpad, no question, easily for the past 15 years. It would have been 25 years until I made the biggest mistake and tried the fruit. It was like I had left home. Three weeks later I was X1 shopping again and found peace once again. Thinkpad is an A to Z complete computer experience. Thanks Lenovo.

X1 Carbon a pleasant surprise
I am in love with almost all the things of my first Lenovo purchase! After reading MANY reviews on business quality laptops, I decided to try the X1 Carbon and love it. The very best part of the working experience is the keyboard - it's absolutely dreamy. The laptop is light, smooth and fast! My only feedback for improvement so far would be to change the finish - the matte black finish is beautiful until you touch it for the first time.....it leaves finger prints all over and the trackpad in particular shows wear and marks. Beyond that finicky piece, I would not hesitate to purchase another ThinkPad and think this X1 and I will be together for quite some time!

Reliable product
I've been using ThinkPad since 90's, and I think the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 is the best.
My predecessor ThinkPad was made in 2016 X1 Carbon, but I still use it every day without any problems. (Even battery)

The whole experience with my new Lenovo X-1 has been tremendous! Absolutely no difficulty getting it set up and smooth operations ever since. This purchase was made following a new purchase and then replacement with DeLL which was a nightmare. My new x-1 gets any task done with confidence and piece of mind.

Top business class travel laptop!
If you're looking for a very light, very bright, and very tight laptop, get this! It gets a little hot when working hard but that's a given with this form factor. This is my go-to laptop for when I need to travel for business. When at work, I don't bother with another keyboard; I just plug this into my USB-C monitor and get to business!

This computer replaces my First Generation X1 Carbon (4GB/128GB and I was surprised that its lighter than that model. At 16GB/512GB, it's sleek, fast and nimble, but my first X1 Carbon still works great. I just needed more RAM for complex tasks. I hope it's as durable as my first X1 Carbon, where the case and the keys still look and feel new. Be a patriot and wear a mask!

An ultrabook that's best-in-class
This is easily one of the best laptops I've used in years. Its build quality is phenomenal, being very light yet feels sturdy. The speakers and display also make it an excellent choice for content consumption, being able to show a wide range of colors and play music very loudly. The keyboard meets expectations like Thinkpads usually do. The wide range of ports also makes it much more versatile than other ultrabooks which have to make sacrifices to achieve their slim dimensions. Linux software support is excellent too, as everything practically works with the latest drivers.

Disappointed Installer from
Love the Product; Hate the Setup!
The product itself seems quite good, and I expect to like it a lot. But the ordering process was a challenge; I had to go through the site 7 or 8 times to be sure I was ordering what I wanted . And trying to install Office 2019 on the laptop (prepurchased with the computer) was awful. It required me to do things I did not want to do and did not want to do in the order required, so I was unable to set up the PC just as I wanted. There were several versions of the directions on installation, which either were not available (send you to a page with instructions to do something that was not an option on the page) or left out steps in the process, so you were not sure if you were dong it properly or not. I was installing Office 2019 Home and Business, and it repeatedly wanted me to sign up for Office 365 in order to access to MY purchased software, and I did NOT wan on the machine at all. The process also required you to access instructions via MS Outlook which it had not yet installed on the machine, since that is part of the Office 2019 I was trying to install. Oh, and I got the email telling me how to install my Office software 5 DAYS AFTER I received my computer. Huh? And the main part of these 5-day-late installation instructions were to NOT hit the OFFICE button on the computer menu until the software was installed, as this might prevent proper installation. Well, who is going to buy a computer for a business/office machine and NOT have tried to install the program (absent any other directions) in the first 5 days by hitting the OFFICE button on the menu? Not that it should matter, since any competent adult should be able to purchase and set up a new computer without a lot of trouble, but I has BS and MS degrees in electrical engineering and have been practicing computer and communications systems engineering for 40 years; I'm really not that unfamiliar with the process! Again, I love Lenovo PCs..... I've owned them and used them since they were IBM Thinkpads, not Lenovo, but the installation, which used to be simple and straightforward, now seems much too complicated now.

High School Graduation Present for College
Laptop is quite nice, light and powerful. It should be able to last throughout college and then some. My two complaints is the chin bezel and the 720p camera. Would've been awesome to have a little bit more screen from that spot and a 1080p camera but that said it's an extremely light complaint especially the camera since wanting thinning bezels have caused the sensors to shrink so self defeating issues. Windows Hello is awesome and the build quality is great, love the carbon fiver weave.

The first thing you'll be surprised by is exactly how thin and light this laptop is in person! It's the same thickness as my phone and weighs almost nothing! The always on feature is awesome. The second you open the laptop, it's ready to go to work! The battery lasts days without a recharge. I used it for emails, web coding, watching Netflix, remotepc and remote desktop to connect to my work servers, all with zero issues or lag. This is easily the ultimate travel and/or work laptop. Small form factor, light and portable, super fast charging and powerful enough to do everything you need. Love the auto sync feature with my phone, too!

Impressive!
I searched high and low for the best laptop. I wanted to retire the PC & Laptop (MS Surface) that I had been using for both home and work to one device that could manage and store everything. This seemed to fit well for me. The docking station is essential for me to have everything all set up for my dual monitors, printers (2), scanner and storage devices. It's so nice to just seat it into the docking station and everything works great! It's only been a short time, but I'm so very impressed. It's fast with plenty of storage and works well for my multi-tasking.

From the X1 Carbon Gen 5 to the X1 Gen 8!
The first time I took became a fan of Lenovo was when I working on a 3-month project to build a set tools for a major deployment. During that time, I had received my first Lenovo laptop and decided to finish up my code on it while sitting in on a meeting. As soon as I started typing, the comfort of the keyboard struck me, and I have never looked at another brand since.
The X1 Carbon Gen 8 delivers on portability, performance, battery life, versatility, and makes for a great travel companion.
For business and work, I code, work and test with virtual machines, and also travel for business and pleasure, and in my opinion the X1 Carbon just checks all of those boxes when it comes to those work horse and personal needs. When my laptop order arrived, I was especially curious about the speakers, they really do sound amazing, with Dolby Atmos included, I never knew ultra-portable laptops could have such great sounding speakers.
Better performance over the Gen 5 but still the same great ThinkPad I have come to love. I really do like how Lenovo can continue to improve with each generation but still keep the form factor the same.
If like me you customize one with LTE for mobile data connectivity, the LTE card supports more LTE bands, and I notice a much better signal and throughput with the current supported bands. Also, WIFI 6 is absolutely amazing. I am able to achieve near-gigabit speeds in the tests I have done with my WIFI 6 router at home.
If you opt for the 1440p screen, note that you will forfeit the option for the Privacy Display and unfortunately, the U.S. models still do not come with nor provide the option to add NFC.

Good computer, silly ventilation
Very nice computer, light and powerful. My only complaint is the ventilation was for some reason moved from the left side where it was blowing hot air away from the user without being noticed to the right side where hot air is blown directly on the thumb of the mouse hand and is annoying. Seems like a silly design oversight given most people are right handed.

The new ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 is spectacular. I have an earlier version which is also good but this one exceeds expectations.

Good Buy
I am happy with this laptop. It processes very efficiently and has a long battery life. It is super light, which makes using it on the couch or sticking it in a purse very easy. The only thing that is sub-optimal is the material the computer is made out of picks up oily fingerprints easily and after using it for a while the device needs to be wiped down, so I plan to buy a wrap for the computer. But the device meets all my needs and I am happy with the purchase.

Stellar hardware, a few bugs in desktop use
As has generally been the case, the latest X1 Carbon is an excellent piece of hardware. My only complaint is likely a driver issue, and only applies in a desktop setup with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. In this situation it often will not wake up on movement of the external mouse/keyboard and I must open it and tap a key on the laptop's keyboard to wake it.

This Laptop is Amazing!
This is the best laptop I've ever owned. I was a little reluctant at first because I had to return a laptop from a different company but this one is 1000% times better. It's fast, reliable, and didn't come with unnecessary bloatware. The battery life also last longer than described in multiple YouTube reviews which is a huge plus.

Finally upgraded from a Lenovo X222 to this laptop. Wanted to stay with the Lenovo family because of familiarity with brand and their quality products. Do some research via Tom's Hardware and PC Magazine and decided this was the computer for me - excellent sound, speed, memory (chose 16GB. It was easy to load Microsoft Office and have all my documents, mail, pictures etc. transferred quickly. Very happy with product.

Good Buy, would repeat
I upgraded from an older version of the thinkpad. I am mostly pleased with this new version. I like the thin screen margins, the lightness, and the texture of the shell. The touchscreen works well as well, which was a bit of an issue in my older one. The one thing that is not as good is the fingerprint reader. It doesn't recognize my print as reliably as the older version despite my reloading the print.
Overall: good purchase for school work. Simple, portable, aesthetic.

ThinkPad x1 Carbon Gen 8 (14" Laptop
Recommended by my professional computer consultant, I purchased the Lenovo computer. I am extraordinarily pleased with this laptop. The graphics are exceptional, the keystrokes are impressive, the speed is very satisfactory. The computer is lightweight, yet appears very sturdy. A great benefit is the large number of plug-in ports that accomodate a variety of cables. The start-up directions were easy to follow and I was up and running in a short time. The purchase price was highly competitive and the resultant value is easily recognized. I am very happy with this laptop computer.

Flaws with the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 (14”) Lapt
Overall a good build, but 2 unneeded flaws: (1) swapping the places of CTRL and Function Key, (2) terrible finger scanner -- iPhones had the tech down for years, why can't Lenovo? Would be a perfect laptop but for those two, easy fixes. A shame. Look elsewhere for perfection.

Solid laptop, great price.
Only quibbles are I wish it had a second USB C port and an SD card reader built in instead of the Lenovo docking port, and I'm not crazy about the power button on the side. Trackpad is good, keyboard is nice, bright screen, good battery life, love that it was available pre-installed with linux (even though I swapped out the SSD for a larger one I already have and reinstalled) but it was good to know everything would be supported. I would love if RAM was upgradeable instead of soldered on, but you can't have everything in a laptop this thin and light.

Another wonderful ThinkPad, but not perfect
I've been a longtime ThinkPad user for many years, and was thrilled to get the latest X1 Carbon. I did have one initial disappointment with this laptop when I first received it. After less than a month, my screen showed a horizontal line which lead to a cracked/leaking LCD that I had to fix at my own expense. I ended up purchasing the Accidental Damage Protection in case it happens again. Highly recommended for these thin notebooks. Also happy Lenovo gave me the option to buy it after the fact.
Now the good. Screen is incredible. I do design work and I'm amazed how the colors pop and the detail comes out nicely. Keyboard feels wonderful, and the trackpad is great (although I use a mouse normally. Speed and system are solid so far. No complaints. I'll enjoy it for the years I have it, and get a new one when the time comes.

It's the most gorgeous machine ever. The battery is not lasting as long as I expected it to, but I am gonna give it a few more days and see if it's more of a software issue. The camera is not the best but i already know that. I also expected that at this price range it would have a backlit keyboard, it does not. But that's my problem. I didn't read it properly. It's super duper fast and it does what i need it to do.

Apart from the shipping time and delays, which made the laptop take month to get here; I am really liking the X1. It is very light weight and sleek. The keyboard layout is very intuitive once you have a little time with the laptop. performance is what you would expect from a high end laptop. Just don't expect to play any intensive games on this machine. No videocard means no true gaming. This is fine as it is not billed for that purpose.

Shuts Down Constantly and Won't Restart
This laptop is only a year old and was very expensive. At first I liked it, it's very fast and easy to use. However, for the past 6 months, instead of going to sleep or hibernating, it shuts all the way and closes all open programs. About 50% of the time after this happens I cannot restart it by pressing the power button but instead have to do a hard reset on the bottom of the unit. This is a known problem (see the message boards, it's everywhere yet Lenovo contends it's a software issue, not a hardware issue. Well, that may be but it must the software that comes installed on the product because this problem started before I installed any additional software. I can't recommend a computer that costs this much and has a known problem like this, it's terrible for productivity and has caused me to lose work.

The quintessential business laptop.
The quintessential business laptop. The new X1 has a nice soft matte finish, is durable, plently powerful for business use, comes with all the nifty security features, and the keyboard is just plain wonderful. This 8th gen model comes with all that you'd expect (thunderbolt 3/usb-c, 10th gen intel processor, backlit keyboard, etc) and some of the little extras you didn't expect like an integrated web cam cover. Works well with other tb3/usb-c accessories (works great with my dual monitor docking station). Totally worth it at this price point. If you are looking for a productivity laptop this is an excellent choice.

Highly recommended
This is my second ThinkPad. I still love my first, so upgrading to a second was a no-brainer. The size and weight is perfect for me. The screen is crisp and clear. Set up was so easy, and I got a great deal Thanksgiving week. I’m happy with this product.

Very light weight computer. Greatly much appreciate the mechanical camera closure - brilliant design feature. Only small downside is the placement of the power switch - hit it a few times accidentally before I got used to the layout.

This PC is outstanding! Fast and feels solid. Love the center "erase" mouse alternative to its touchpad. Lenovo always builds PCs that feel well built and provide me with great confidence.

Why the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a good decisi
The ThinkPad is powerful, it is light and battery power is ample.
Its unique feature a joystick in the middle of the keyboard has become my preferred curser control after a thumb wheel. Thus far, one month after purchase, I haven’t detected any negatives and I consider it a sound purchasing decision.

This is my second X1 carbon! I have the 5th gen and now the 8th gen. Each x1 just keeps getting better. i really love these laptops. I have previously owned Dell XPS and Fujitsu lifebook laptops but had major issues with both.
My older 5th gen X1 carbon is still going strong with no issues. I am sure my new 8th gen X1 carbon will be the same.
Keep up the excellent reliability and service, Lenovo....

New X1 Carbon is great, hate power button location
This is my 3rd X1 Carbon - had a 3rd and 5th generation previously. Once I got through all of the config glitches (e.g., have to unplug the Thunderbolt 3 dock before installing audio drivers to get the internal mic to work AND had to call Lenovo Premium support to get this figured out), the machine works great. Love the new 4K display. My one problem with the new layout is the location of the power button - it is on the right side of the laptop just forward of the USB port, which is inconvenient for access - hard to find button when it is on my stand and plugged into dock and it is not easy to see to determine if the system is on or off.

I have had the x1 Carbon Gen 8 with 4K screen, 8 GB ram and 256 GB storage for over a month now. I have to say I love it! There is no PWM flickering on my model despite seeing some concerns about it. The speakers are great, some of the best on a laptop I have heard. Of course, the keyboard is the best in the business. 8 GB is ram is perfect for school and writing papers, it is soldered on so get as much as you need for whatever tasks you plan on doing!

Slick computer, underwhelming battery
This is generally a good laptop - light, reasonably functional. The battery is FAR less than advertised. It's brand new and the battery lasts maybe 6-7 hours on a charge. Considering that portability and battery life are key selling points of this machine that's pretty disappointing.

Battery life shorter than advertised, but still packs in a solid 6-8 hours, sometimes 10 if you really squeeze it out. Excellent display and speed. Does get a bit hot to the touch when charging. Keyboard is fairly good. It was worth it to me to pay the price just for a solid laptop with good battery life.

Amazing performance and perfect for school!
Starting school and was looking for a laptop to keep up with the Software Engineering classes that I will be taking at my university. I heard from a friend that many people use Lenovo Thinkpads for programming and looked into the latest model. Purchased the laptop, had it shipped, and to my amazement, it has been the best purchase I haver ever made. Has a nice and sleek design that doesn't feel or look heavy, easy to shutdown and pack away when needed, doesn't take up too much space, and probably has the best performance I have ever had in a laptop. Lenovo has me sold on their products.

Next Generation ThinkPad and Couldn't Be Happier
This is my fourth Lenovo, second laptop, and second X1 (Previously had a 3rd Gen. With 500GB SSD, 16GB RAM and the latest generation i5 I feel like I really got a performance upgrade at a bargin price. I use demanding data science programs and performance is good. Multi-tasking is solid. I opted for the 4K screen and it is stunning, well worth the extra investment. This will outperform many competitors and if you need more computing/GPU capacity Lenovo has some other options to get you more power. Overall, this laptop is unbeatable. I had my previous X1 for close to 6 years and it is still running ok, just time to retire from service. Lenovo is an outstanding company with great customer service, information manuals, and most of their products are extremely user friendly and easy to repair (I never experienced a failure on mine). I rarely write reviews but the quality and value of this laptop is compelling. I was considering changing models and manufacturers to try something new and I am so glad I stuck with the X1 family. The new model is eons ahead while respecting its ThinkPad heritage.

Small package, big punch
Overall it's a great machine, I use it with a dock and dual monitor setup with wireless mouse/keyboard, so it functions like a desktop - in my case, faster and better than my antiquated desktop. I have no issues running as many as five virtual machines via WSL or Virtualbox, all while carrying out my basic work tasks throughout the day. Having not had a new computer in a while, I'm impressed. Lenovo for the win. That said, one of the USB-C ports doesn't work with my dock anymore, though it does work for power - so I have the power routed to that one, and use the "power" connection for my dock for external monitors. Not sure why but it no longer recognizes a USB device connected on the second port. Maybe needs some ruggedization?

Perfect for a traveling photographer / writer.
Everything I want in a computer for travel. I am a photographer and writer and travel a great deal for work. The computer is lightweight yet incredibly sturdy and feels like it is built to withstand all manner of trouble that might come up. As a photographer, the screen is top notch and though I would have preferred an option for more than 16gb of RAM, it is sufficient for most applications. As a writer, in the past I would often buy a cheap external keyboard to use with other laptops when I was going to be in one place for any length of time. I don't need to do that anymore, the keyboard is fantastic. There are enough ports on the computer itself for a lot of my needs, but the add-on block with additional ports is light enough that I have more than I need for everything. So far I love this computer.

Bought one of these for my boss, and one of the oartners liked it so much he “stole” it and I had to order another one. I’d say it’s pretty popular around here. Portable, functional - and to my surprise, everyone likes the touchscreen. Especially with everyone working from home, having a capable laptop has become the biggest priority along with making sure everyone has good WiFi at home. It’s worth it.

X1 Carbon after a month
Great laptop. I own two small businesses and this laptop is ideal for what I need to do. Super light and also super fast! I have had some light, thin laptops in the past but this one is definitely more rugged. It doesn't feel like you are going to break it just by typing on it. Very easy setup and the typing is GREAT. Very comfortable and super quick start up. Plus, the fingerprint reader has worked every time I have used it so far! No swiping you just place your index finger on the tiny scanner. I did a lot of research before purchasing and it came down to the X1 Carbon or the Dell XPS 13. I definitely made the right choice with Lenovo!

Elegant, Efficient, Professional...
My Lenovo X1 Carbon has amazed me from day one; If I had three words to describe it, they would be: elegant, efficient and professional. First, the internal and external details of the machine are exquisite, the black assembly makes this laptop a very elegant product for any occasion. Second, it is efficient, I can only say that with the core i7 this laptop flies. Finally, he is a professional, everything that I have opened has been run perfectly. If you are thinking of buying a professional laptop, don't hesitate; the X1 Carbon is for you.

Expensive but worth it
Was using Gen 1 previously. Decided to try Gen 8 although it is quite expensive. Hope the battery life span can be better compared to Gen 1. Been using the Gen 8 for the past 2 weeks, and my decision to get it was right.

Great Laptop
The ThinkPad X1 Gen 8 has is a major improvement from the similar models. From unboxing to the first couple weeks, I have had zero complaints. The sleek and weightless design are very appealing. The only complaint I have so far is power button placement on the side is something to get used to.

Great all-around laptop
I was looking for a good all-round laptop that could handle the typical college workload, as I will be starting college this year. I came across the X1 carbon and decided it looked like a solid choice; I went through several reviews and saw nothing but praise. As such, I ended up purchasing the laptop and have been very pleased with it since it arrived. The 1080p screen is a nice balance of good image quality, brightness, and battery efficiency. The processing power is quite good as well and can handle everything I throw at it. Even the graphics aren't half bad for some light gaming here and there. The keyboard is also spectacular, certainly one of the best I have ever used and a highlight if Thinkpad products. One of the big criteria I had in choosing a laptop was its portability, and this laptop excels in that regard as well. It is very thin and light. Overall, I am amazed at how well Lenovo was able to fit in so many good features on such a portable device with superb build quality. Excellent product.

So I'm biased as I have been a Thinkpad user since my first 700c. So now with the work from as the new normal, this is my choice for staff... And even the adamant Macbook Pro users are delighted with the X1 Carbon. Small footprint, light weight, and more powerful than their office desktops. Bundled with the Thunderbolt dock. Increased productivity, durable and great keyboard. Staff have expressed that being equipped with the X1 makes them feel more valued.

Fantastic Laptop, this is my third X1 Carbon, so I am kind of a fanboy. the design is great, small footprint, more than enough processing power to do everything I do. Only disappointment, I was looking forward to the new security features (Privacy guard feature) and assumed that this feature is included in the most expensive top of the line machine with the 14.0" UHD (3840 x 2160) Display, unfortunate it is not.

The trackPoint pointing stick makes it easy to navigate - without the need for a mouse. The Trackpad offers another way to move around the screen with ease.

Best business laptop out there
The Carbon is widely - and correctly - regarded as the best business laptop in the market. It's very light, has excellent/convenient security features and keyboard is very quiet while typing, which is handier and more important than one might suspect. Personally, I love the mouse button on the keyboard, which is rare to find. They're pricey but worth it.

Much better than expected! I've usually utilized the surface and hp computers in the past for work, but this was the first time I've purchased this computer.

The computer is light weight and is useful when I will start to travel again for work, but can definitely handle more programs which is great for presentations.

Meaningfully worse than the equivalent Lenovo product I bought 4 years ago that died.
Blue screen of death weekly, freezing upon waking up from sleep, and a period of a few minutes after waking where it just doesn’t work. Frequently restarts itself while sleeping overnight.
Once warmed up it works well if it isn’t freezing or shutting itself down.

Mostly Great (but that Battery)
I love the amazing light weight. This is the best keyboard I've ever had on a laptop. The battery life is frustratingly short (sitting at 100%, estimating 4:39 right now).

The Perfect Work Companion
I did my research and this laptop checked all the boxes for a road warrior / remote worker. Plenty of power and storage, always up to three monitors which I run at home and all works perfectly. Great graphics and enough horsepower to handle all the programs I utilize. Super light and portable as well.

Nice machine, blown speaker out of the box
Well, I was literally happy when I received the package. Couldn't wait to use my new machine. Unfortunately your QA team did not do a good job as this product had some issues with the sound out of the box. The sound coming out of the right speaker was garbled, as if the speaker was blown.. again, brand new product, just out of the box. I would think that for a top of the line product, your flagship so to say, you would have better QA service prior to shipping the product to the customer.
Other than that, seems to be fine. Love the reduced weight, and the long battery life. I would have loved to have it as WWAN Upgradeable, as the budget was tight at checkout.

Switch from a few year old sell xps 13 to Lenovo x1. Build quality is, design is as expected. Love the Lenovo keyboard. The laptop seems much lighter than my xps, even with a little larger screen. The bezel thickness is just right. Thin enough to be stylish and keep a nice small form, but there's a bit there to keep it sturdy and durable.
Definitely going to enjoy this PC for the next couple years or more

Exceed expectations with a few gotchas
Great machine. Exceeded my expectations. There are a few gotchas if you are coming from an older windows 7 machine
1) you need to review function key settings in lenovo advantage as out of the box they are set to "alt-function"
2) battery settings are handled by windows 10 and aren't too obvious if you are used to lenovo power settings application
3) battery life isn't anywhere close to advertised unless you are in extreme power-saving mode which make the computer slow to a crawl to the point of being useless unless you close all apps and just surf the web. but above that extreme setting, the machine is awesom
4) power management is handled by the windows battery icon NOT the big green lenovo vantage ico.
5) could use more memory -- for a machine like this 16gb just feels underpowered.

Super easy upgrade to a ThinkPad X1
My boss bought the ThinkPad to replace a Dell laptop I'd been using for a few years. Oh, my stars! This laptop can run circles around my old one! It was a snap to transfer files using the Lenovo Migration Assistant over wifi, and I was back in business with almost no down time. I also like the Lenovo Vantage app, which lets me quickly review my device settings, security, and get support if I need it. I HIGHLY recommend this laptop, especially if you're not a computer geek. You don't need to be with the ThinkPad X1.

Solid Laptop for any enterprise, we have ordered dozens of these over the years. With the exception of some of the 5th Gen, we've had next no problems even then, Lenovo actually upgraded our 5th gen problem machines at the service center before returning them. This one feels light on it's feet, speedy through anything we throw at it, and a wonderful battery life to boot.

Still great after a few years.
Love how thin and light it is. The 1TB drive is the same as my home server-so much better than my MacPro. After a couple years the battery still lasts a long time but the fingerprint reader is now more trouble than it's worth and the 4 digit PIN doesn't seem as safe as a regular password. Sometimes the USC-C connector gets loose but I just need to re-plugin to get my peripherals working again. Most of the time, I use an external monitor but still use the built-in to view emails, instructions, and video tutorials.

Happy with Switching to a ThinkPad
The laptop is light but stable. It has a fingerprint reader to sign in, something which I've never had on a computer before, but it's a nice addition (I'm not sure whether the previous models had this or not). It has great battery life, which is something I did not have the fortune of having with my last computer (which was not a Lenovo). Anyway, I am enjoying using this computer, and I hope it will last a long time. The speed of the processor is obviously quite good, as well, as it loads fast. I also am glad I got the model with 1 terabyte of hard drive storage, as that seems to suffice for my case.

Nice laptop except for webcam
It's everything I was expecting and would be a 5-star rating if it were not for the poor quality of the webcam. It is very low resolution, grainy and blurry. I expected better considering I bought the top-end model with the 4k screen. In this age of remote work and multiple video meetings daily this is unacceptable and hopefully will upgraded on the 9th gen. In the meantime, I bought an external 1080 HD webcam that looks much better and sits on top of my external monitor but that won't be a good solution when traveling resumes. Consider this an "almost" perfect laptop. It has a nice combination of ports for my use.

The value for your money is difficult to match! I have been a Lenovo user for over a decade and have very little to complain.

Lenovo Gen 8 review
Have been using the computer for ~3 weeks. Thus far has a nice feel for the keyboard and sturdiness, and has a familiar Lenovo look and touch. The mid-level rating is due to 1) battery time is underwhelming; 2) the speed of opening documents is slower than expected; and, 3) when opening a file of images, not all image icons will be displayed.

Great Product
Very light weight. I wish the tab came with virus protection, but you have to buy it separately. I also need programs for the office that have to be bought separately. This kinda makes it expensive.

The best ThinkPad I ever owned
This is the top of the otherwise great line of ThinkPads, it is extremely well built,light powerful with great screen and exceptional battery life
. I have used ThinkPad for 2 decades this being my first X1 carbon that really changes how I use my laptop, I usually have been reluctant to take my laptop with me unless there is due reason now it dosen't matter an my great X1 is most of the time around an used lot more. Over all it is expensive but still delivers the extra price in usability and quality, an true work horse.

The system is pretty fast and is streamlined. The one negative thing is that the wifi card seems to be exceptionally poor at reception. I can go about 30 feet further from my access point with all the other laptops I have but this was loses connectivity even when 20 feet from the access point.

Perfect for my upcoming college student
The ThinPad X1 Carbon 8 (14#) Laptop has been perfect for my daughter who is going off to college in fall. After a year of remote learning and sharing a computer, we bought this for her to finish off her senior year and take off to college. It is fast and durable. We've had a yoga for a few years and loved it, but the ThinkPad has been the step up we expected. Would definitely buy for myself, but my other Lenovo is still too good to replace!

Overall a great laptop
Definitely a nice machine: light and powerful with a great battery life.
If anything, it would be great if the keys could be a little more sensitive. There's probably a setting for that, but the default setting requires me to remember to hit some of the keys harder than I was accustomed to. Also, the fingerprint reader misses more than it hits. It didn't take long to register my fingerprint, so maybe it should spend a bit more time analyzing it in the beginning.

Fast, lightweight and long-lasting battery
I've been using my X1 for about a month as a portable extension of my desktop (ThinkCenter). Favorite features are the lightweight body and its super fast start up. The battery life is enough to last all day, sometimes more, and it charges quickly with USB-C. I use the fingerprint/biometric unlock and that has been a good experience so far. No complaints at all--I would buy it again

Nearly perfect laptop for home business
I really like the reliability of the laptop. It's got a great keyboard and hooked up to my wireless printer easily. It's very light and has an adequate number of USB ports. It definitely has enough memory to handle all of my software. The only drawback to the laptop is that it does not have a touch screen. I did not know this when making the purchase. The previous generations added touch screens so I made the incorrect assumption that this one did as well.

Fast, efficient and good for work
I purchased this for work and it does a good job. The camera is sharp and clear, the graphics are good enough for work, the speed is good and I haven't had any major issues.
I use an IBM docking station so that I can use a bigger monitor as well as an HD webcam. The only challenge has been trying to wake my computer after it goes to sleep overnight on the docking station. Until I disabled the sleep function I was stuck having to force shut down the laptop. But that's all sorted now.

A laptop that I'd buy again.
This laptop replaced my years old ATIV Book 7 that I refused to replace until I could find just the right laptop. This ThinkPad is the right replacement.
The size and weight are perfect and having to use an external ethernet connection is not often a nuance. The only complaint is that the touch pad cannot be disabled from the keyboard.
The 14” display is bright and crystal clear. And with the ability to use dual external monitors the laptop is now a replacement for my desktop if it goes down.
The use of the i7 Comet Lake held the price down and yet still provides more than enough processing power for my tasks. By opting for 16 GB of RAM, the lack of upgradability is not a problem and having a 1 TB NVMe drive negates the need for my external data drive.
I would recommend this laptop to friends and colleagues and would buy it again if necessary.

Better, lighter, faster than previous X1s
This was an upgrade from an earlier X1. I stayed with this laptop because it was lightweight and lightning fast. This new model was everything I asked for and more. The only advice I would give a buyer is that you check for and install Lenovo updates immediately upon receipt. Some drivers weren’t working out of the box, but the updates resolved this.

Light, Powerful and Worth the $$
I was hesitant to get another Lenovo after having trouble with my previous ThinkPad (I've had Lenovos for YEARS and only had issues with one). I'm so glad I stuck with Lenovo. This unit is lightening fast and can handle the monster load I throw at it when working on videos and graphics like a champ. It's also super light (how do they make such a powerful unit so darned light???). The graphics are super crisp on the display and I couldn't be happier.

An updated workhorse
I had Thinkpad back when I was teaching and this is my first brand new laptop since I retired in 2016. I actually tried an Ideapad but didn’t like the layout or lack of USB and sent it back. This Thinkpad is light and has the shaped keys and is familiar but very updated. As fast as our internet connection will take it. Easy to set up though it takes a while. Haven’t been able to test its toughness but I expect it to stand up to being dragged around. This substitute teacher and seminar presenter and nonprofit board member is happy!

Disappointed & annoyed
Either we didn't read carefully enough or there was a huge change. This thing has very little anything. Read the specs carefully for the version you are buying. I have only had this a week and I already hate it. It is slower than my 10 year old laptop was and it won't even store the files from the old laptop. Had to buy two new external drives just to keep my files. I am going to have to buy a second computer!

New Business Start (ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 (14”)
I purchased the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 (14”) Laptop as I am starting my own business and need a laptop for the traveling that will be required. I did several searched online from various review sites and the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 (14”) Laptop consistently was within the top 3 laptops and by far within my price range. I also added the MS Office package to make this a one stop shopping. Your website made it extremely easy for me to go through and identify the items which I wanted to be added as accessories. After receiving the laptop it has functioned like a dream as far as setup and operation.
The only thing that could remotely be considered a negative is that the delivery date initially present was delayed by 1 week, but in all fairness with when I ordered this laptop the delivery date was 12/23/20 right before Christmas and shipping anything during that time should be expected to have some sort of delay. I can say that your company did notify me of the shipping delay a week before the original delivery, therefore, I was informed well in advance that there was going to be a delay which allowed me to plan ahead.

Nice work. I typically do not write reviews.
I love it! It is very fast, small and a workhorse. I will catch myself with 20 plus internet tabs open and it is still fast while working on Excel and Word.

Great Speed
I upgraded from a 6 year old Yoga 14. What a difference in overall speed, lightness, security. I am hoping to be able to get another 6 years from this little powerhouse.

ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 7 is a HUGE disappointment
This review comes after owning a Gen 7 for 11 months. Pros: lightweight, fast boot; wonderful UHD display. Cons: near-zero battery life; random cursor movement; non-responsive keyboard.
In the first month I love the laptop. It is very lightweight, boots incredibly fast, and has a killer display. However, after 11 months of ownership I hate this laptop. Battery life has degraded from an initial 6 hours to now less than 45 minutes. The battery drains so quickly that this once travel laptop is now useless for travel, requiring it to be plugged constantly.
Second and equally important, there is some sort of firmware/hardware bug that causes the cursor to randomly travel quickly in any direction. Whether using the eraser-head or the track-pad and in any app, the cursor will suddenly and quickly move to an each of the screen as if pulled by some mysterious force. It is particularly maddening when you are in the process of pointing or drawing or selecting. The only solution is to actually flex the laptop case in order to regain control of the cursor.
I have owned and loved ThinkPads for many many years. This is the first one I have truly HATED. I highly recommend you avoid this product.

I purchased the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 (14") laptop at the recommendation of a friend. It is the first Lenovo I have owned. I love how lightweight it is, and the size is perfect for travel.

X1 Gen 8
Ultraportable with great battery. Just make sure to change the performance setting to “better performance.” Using the “better battery” mode is too slow.

Great deal
This laptop is the standard laptop my company uses for work. It works great and has enough power to handle running a number of applications at once. I would recommend this laptop to anyone needing to code/develop apps.

Function and Control Key Are Switched
I really like the laptop and the practical aesthetic of the ThinkPad design.
I dropped one star because
WHY IS THE FUNCTION KEY WHERE THE CONTROL KEY SHOULD BE?!?!?!?!?!?
As a hot key power user, I use the control key way more than the function key and on every single keyboard I've ever used, the control key has always been the bottom, left-most key. That's where my fingers naturally go in order to hit hot keys.
It is possible to switch these keys in the bios, but it's a hassle to do so and may be difficult for non-technical users. Also, your control key is then smaller than it deserves and mislabeled.

Fast acting laptop
I have only had this laptop a short while, but it has performed well and quickly. It would have been nice to have had a touch screen, but I am getting used to the absence of that feature. It is a powerful enough laptop for my home use, and quick to open and respond.

Great laptop, amazing battery life & performance
Great lightweight laptop with long battery life. Huge upgrade from the Dell Latitude I’ve used the last several years. Went with the i7 cpu and 16Gb ram, definitely worth the step up in cost. Lenovo is my new go to for laptops.

Powerful, Lightweight, Fast but Poor Camera
I love how lightweight and thin this computer is. It's super fast and has really awesome audio quality for watching movies, etc. My only issue is that the keys on the keyboard seem a bit large and the camera quality is poor.

Better Than I Expected
The X1 Carbon Gen 8 is my second Lenovo Laptop, first being an x250. And I am glad I decided to remain loyal to this brand. My new X1 Carbon Gen 8 is light-weight and very fast even though it only has 8 gb of ram and an i7 processor. The screen, which is the 2560 x 1440 IPS panel, is absolutely amazing!!
