A MATTE-BLACK CLASSIC
Corporations that buy in bulk get discounts, but single-purchase pricing for the ThinkPad X1 Carbon is all over the map. Lenovo lists a base Core i5 model at $1,475. Meanwhile, $2,197 is the second-lowest price we found online for our test unit (model 20XW004DUS) with a Core i7-1165G7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB NVMe solid-state drive. But other retailers have it for $2,500 and up, and when we tried configuring one like it at Lenovo.com, it came to $3,169 with a temporary coupon cutting it to $1,901. When you look, the situation will likely be different still.
Lenovo gives you four-screen choices, all with IPS instead of OLED technology and backed by Intel’s Iris Xe integrated graphics. Three have 1,920-by-1,200pixel resolution: our review unit’s 400-nit non-touch panel, a touch screen with the same brightness, and a 500-nit touch display with a PrivacyGuard filter (meant to keep airline seatmates from snooping). The fourth is a 500-nit glossy panel with 3,840-by-2,400-pixel resolution. Lenovo says all but the PrivacyGuard screen feature reduced blue-light emission to ease eye strain.
