Lenovo - 14" ThinkPad X1 Carbon G9 Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 256 SSD - Black

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a college student who also has a full time office job, i use this laptop for everything. The laptop has held up and is still going strong throughout all of the mess. I would recommend this laptop to anyone!

The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is an amazing, fast and solidly built machine; it reflects the long storied pedigree of IBM as an innovator in technology and computing. It is a slim, svelte beauty, easy to use, lightweight and packed with awesome features that make work a breeze. I highly recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After waiting for almost a month my Lenovo Thinkpad arrived (Windows 11) ! The wait was definitely worth it ! The laptop is very light when compared to my Microsoft Book being replaced - outperforms in almost every aspect. The texture (and carbon look) is very nice which one can easily grip. The keyboard is awesome - large keys, visible with the texture/feel really nice. The screen is quite bright and clear at 500 nits. I was very impressed with the sound quality coming from such a small laptop. Love the multiple Thunderbolt ports but nice to have the HDMI and USB available too. Overall, an impressive laptop ! Wait for Lenovo specials/discounts when purchasing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The intel sticker on the side has permanent adhesive, which is a big no-no. That's why I docked 1 star. All the work the engineers put into the small bezels and the processors, yet 1/5 of the effort goes away due to stupid adhesive on a sticker. Shame. Also, the classic Lenovo Battery icon in the taskbar has been removed from this recent version of Vantage. Another shame and star docked.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Awesome machine. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 Intel 14" has worked well. Was able to move over 90% of previous HP laptop docs & apps. Stayed on Windows 10 to insure my older applications would run (some will not on Windows 11). Really enjoy the facial recognition logon. The 2.5lb weight is impressive and appreciated as carry on when flying. As with most laptops, the price goes up fast when you opt for more memory and SSD drive capacity. What I miss is SD card slot which they could have incorporated. I understand the laptop thickness will not allow ethernet port SO you need to add multiport dongle adapter for ethernet port, SD slot, more USB ports, and USB C power port - around $100. The screen clarity with 3840x2400 really helps on photo editing and everyday readability/eye strain reduction. I do wish they had a 15" screen - I would have bought that... Keyboard worked well on vacation. I use attached keyboard at home. Have never ran low on power (yet) so appreciate the long battery life. Overall, the speed of the machine is very fast and the "feature" I enjoy the most. Hope this has been helpful for others.
