Lenovo’s 7th gen ThinkPad X1 Carbon is one of the best ultrabooks for the money. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon on sale packs a 14-inch (1920 x 1080) display, a 1.6-GHz i5-8265U quad-core CPU, 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. As we note in our ThinkPad X1 Carbon review, we loved its attractive, lightweight design, fast performance, and long battery life. We also found the ThinkPad’s keyboard to be one of the most comfortable on any laptop. In real-world testing, the laptop held up well under a typical workload. In terms of design, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon incorporates clean surfaces, smooth lines and stylish branding. Engineered to military-grade durability standards, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon withstands exposure to sand, dust, high altitudes, high humidity and UV radiation. At 2.1 pounds and just 0.6 inches thin, the 14-inch X1 Carbon is lighter than its competitors. This includes the XPS 13 (2.7 pounds, 0.5 inches), the SX14 (2.3 pounds, 0.7 inches) and the EliteBook x360 1040 G5 (3 pounds, 0.7 inches). Port-wise, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon is equipped with two Thunderbolt 3 ports, two USB 3.1 Type-A ports and an HDMI port. There’s also an Ethernet dock connector and a headphone/mic combo jack onboard. Now starting from $899, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a steal! If you have more room in your budget, Lenovo offers the ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 5 2-in-1 for $1,299 (opens in new tab) ($1,799 off) via coupon, “THINKSNEAK8”. It packs a 14-inch, 2160p display, 1.6-GHz i5-10210U quad-core CPU, 16GB of RAM and 512GB SSD. With its gorgeous touchscreen, great performance, and world-class keyboard — it’s the best convertible laptop you’ll ever own.
