Awesome computer, keyboard start wearing off after 1 week

It is an awesome computer for an awesome price. Software wise, it is the computer I wanted, for some reason, the keys started wearing off from the keyboard (see picture). This is the 3rd Lenovo I have and the 1st one to have a key wore off. Lenovo Customer Service told me to ship it and they would f...

Known Defects -- You may end up shipping it right back to them

When you pay for a premium ultra book, you're not looking to send it in for repairs within the first six months. All brands have 'lemon' units -- that's understandable. Still shakes your confidence in the brand. Customer service was mediocre -- took too long for repairs, especially when you do every...

This laptop is $2200 on Lenovo website, but $1500 on Amazon.

At first, I thought this was a fake. I did not expect a X1 Carbon 7th Gen Intel Core i7-8565U will be this cheap. After I opened it, I checked the system information. Everything checks out. This is indeed 7th gen x1 carbon. If you check the actual Lenovo website, it's 1800 something for 256 GB SSD a...

Great! ...while it worked.

I thought this was the best PC laptop out there so I went ahead and bought it. This was less than a month ago and it worked great, but two days ago it just wouldn't turn on. Tried all troubleshooting tips from Lenovo and did not solved the issue. Seller did not provide support at all and refered me ...

Battery issues - would not purchase this model

I haven't had this computer six months yet and the computer shuts down on its own and the power button blinks. If the machine isn't plugged in it shuts down and it won't start even with a full battery charge; the machine will shut down. I am beyond disappointed. This is NOT a cheap machine. Now here...

Decided on the X1 Carbon

This is a really nice laptop. Purchased this same machine from Costco on sale for $1299. This laptop is VERY light and I'm saying that as my other laptop is a Microsoft Surface Pro 6 which is a tablet-based PC w/keyboard. Also, this laptop is fast. Still looking at testing the battery life. I was wa...

The battery life and touchscreen for this computer seems to be great. However the CPU is completely abysmal. You cannot have more than three tabs open on your Internet browser before it starts to slow down. If you have two different programs running it completely stops all together. Would not recomm...

The wife & I both use this laptop for college almost exclusively, & it's worked like a charm since we got it 3 weeks ago! I have no complaints about this laptop, as it has worked very well every day that we have used it. Would recommend to any student or home user that is looking for a solid laptop.

Upgraded from an old Yoga machine. While this machine does not flip to tablet mode, I find that I dont really miss it. I LOVE the anti-glare screen, great sound, fast as lightening, and the Lenovo keyboard simply cannot be bead. Overall, I really like the Thinkpad X-1 Carbon.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 7 (2019) Review

Even though the Lenovo ThinkPad lineup is aimed at businesses, these rugged, feature-packed laptops enamor plenty of consumers, too. The latest ThinkPad X1 Carbon ($1,179 starting price, as tested), dubbed Gen 7, is a prime example of this crossover. This ultraportable business laptop distills the T...
