Lenovo
managed to keep this beast light at just less than three pounds and just
0.71-inch thick. It has a 1600×900 screen, a spill resistant a backlit keyboard, a 720p front facing
webcam, embedded 3G connectivity (mobile broadband
pay-as-you-go option as per Lenovo’s product page), and Rapid Charge feature
(charging the battery to 80% in as short as 30 minutes).
Constructed
of light and durable carbon fiber, it includes embedded 3G, making mobile
broadband a pay-as-you-go option; Lenovo Rapid Charge, getting users to a
near-full battery in 30 minutes; and Intel vPro technology, which has security
and manageability capabilities built in. The X1 Carbon, like most of the new
laptops being announced this month, is powered by Intel’s new line of
processors, codenamed Ivy Bridge. The new processors will be faster than the
current generation, but also provide better graphics. But, Lenovo’s also doing
some work of its own to improve how the laptop performs; its Rapid Charge
technology will charge the battery in 30 minutes. It also has Intel’s vPro
technology for IT management.
The
North Carolina-based branch of the company introduced the X1, along with new T,
X, L and W Series ThinkPad laptops—very different models, with emphases ranging
from portability to mobile workstation performance—from a Lenovo conference in
Las Vegas.
Lu
Yan, Lenovo senior vice president, described the new ThinkPad portfolio as
embodying “much of the innovative thinking exemplified in the X1 Carbon, such
as a backlit keyboard, super-bright high-definition display, Dolby Home Theatre
and rich communications features that balance business performance with personal
use.”
