It's hard to find an Ultrabook that offers a better blend of durability, performance, and portability than the award-winning ThinkPad X1 Carbon. A thin-and-light carbon fiber roll cage and magnesium-alloy case deliver excellent protection and strength—a great mix for handling all the bumps, knocks, and drops of everyday use.
An Intel Core i7 processor, 256GB solid state drive, and 8GB of memory combine to speed you through the heaviest multitasking loads. The X1 Carbon is also a breeze to carry wherever you go. It weighs just over three pounds and measures only a half-inch thick at its slimmest point, making it the thinnest ThinkPad yet.
