Starting at just 1.18 kg, the new X1 Carbon is the lightest 14-inch business Ultrabook™ on the planet. And at just 16.5 mm thin, it's extremely portable.

©Constructed™ with satellite-grade carbon fibre, the new X1 Carbon is the toughest ThinkPad ever made. In fact, we perform nearly a dozen separate military-grade specification tests - all under extreme conditions with dust, vibration, heat, cold, altitude, water, humidity, solar radiation, and fungus. You can rely on ThinkPad despite what life throws your way.

And of course, the full-sized, backlit keyboard is spill-resistant, as you¡¯d expect from a ThinkPad X1 Carbon.

With 4G LTE, you get the fastest, most advanced mobile broadband technology. And you can boost your productivity with the optional WiGig Dock* (40A60045AU), which lets you connect wirelessly for dual displays, audio devices, and more.

*WiGig Dock only available to use with 2K display WiGig model coming soon end of March 2016.

With the X1 Carbon, you can stay connected, yet go unplugged more than all day, as the battery lasts up to 11 hours (based on testing three different product configurations with MobileMark 2014. Battery life varies significantly with settings, usage, and other factors.).

The new X1 Carbon features up to a Windows 10 Pro operating system and up to 6th generation Intel® Core™ i7-6600U with vPro™ - that means lots of manageability features and enhanced security. And of course the X1 Carbon is Skype for Business-certified, includes integrated speakers with Dolby® audio, and an HD webcam, so conference calls and video chats are a snap.

With ultrafast Samsung PCIe NVMe SSD storage, you can open files and applications more than two times faster than SATA SSD*

*Results represent the overall performance in the Storage Access test, which evaluates storage read / write performance in 10 applications. PCIe NVME SSD is an optional configuration. Products can also be configured with regular PCIe SSD or SATA SSD.

A 2K (2560 x 1440) display and antiglare screen mean text is crisper, images are brighter, and colors are truer. And with IPS technology you can view the screen from nearly 180-degrees. Plus it¡¯s anti-smudge. Also available with FHD IPS (1920 x 1080) display.

Because your data is critical, we¡¯ve enhanced security to keep you safer than ever. The X1 Carbon includes the Touch Sensor Fingerprint Reader, which is more reliable and accurate than typical swipe readers. Plus, this Ultrabook® also includes Trusted Platform Module (TPM), which is a specialised chip designed to secure hardware.
