Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11, i7-1355U

80% Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 review
Source: Tom's Guide English
Lenovo's ThinkPads are a bit boring, and I've always loved them for that. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 does exactly what a work-centric laptop is supposed to do: the battery lasts forever (figuratively), the keyboard is comfortable, the display is easy on the eyes and the hardware's performance holds its own when real-world work is concerned. It's light enough to disappear in my bag, while sturdy enough to survive the occasional mishap. It's pleasant to look at, too, provided you keep a microfiber cloth handy. You can find machines that can do more, occasionally for less. They'll have bigger, brighter screens, nicer speakers, or let you play something with more than a handful of polygons. Thinkpads offer a purpose-built tool for those of us with specific, Office and productivity software centered workflows who want to get things done and then shut the lid and move on.

80% Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (Gen 11) review: How does it compare to the MacBook Pro?
Source: Laptop Mag English
This is my first time experimenting with the ThinkPad X1 Carbon series, and I had my hopes up for this laptop, but unfortunately, they’re a bit dashed right now. The keyboard is mid — it’s not worth the hype, but it’s not awful either. The performance is OK, but there are competitors on the market that deliver longer runtimes and more CPU “oomph” for your money. For example, the Dragonfly Pro is only $1,399 at HP with the same specs as my $1,733 Lenovo review unit (i.e., 16GB of RAM, 512GB of SSD storage, a 14-inch, 1200p display), and yet, it has a better processor and GPU for a similar 13-hour runtime.

In the Carbon, we continue to be dazzled by how much notebook Lenovo can fit into a 2.48-pound package. While Dell and Apple provide smaller screens (though the latter's is sharper than the ThinkPad's base panel) and only a couple of Thunderbolt ports apiece—with the XPS 13 even lacking an audio jack—the X1 Carbon adds two USB-A ports and an HDMI monitor port, as well as one of the best keyboards on a laptop of any size. As we said, the ThinkPad is priced more for enterprise IT buyers than cash-strapped freelancers or small offices. (Lenovo steers the latter toward the ThinkBook line.) It may be worth looking for a deal on a Gen 10 model since the newer processor improves real-world performance only modestly, and it's definitely worth keeping an eye on Lenovo.com's frequent sales and specials. But, if you can get your hands on an X1 Carbon at any price, you're fortunate. It remains the finest all-around laptop available and an Editors' Choice award winner yet again.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
