ThinkPad X1 Carbon deal
Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 improves upon its predecessor with a faster chip, redesigned chassis, wider TouchPad, and bigger battery. The laptop in this deal packs a 14-inch (1920 x 1200) display, 2.4-GHz Intel Core i5-1135G7 quad-core CPU, Intel Iris Xe GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB SSD. While we didn’t test this latest iteration, in our Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 review, we loved its slim, lightweight design, fast performance, and class-leading keyboard. We gave the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9’s predecessor a 4.5 out of 5-star rating and the Editor’s Choice award. The laptop in this deal harnesses the power of Intel’s 11th Gen CPU so we expect its performance to be on par. At a weight of 2.5 pounds and 12.4 x 8.7 x 0.6-inches in dimensions, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 is on par with its competitors. It’s on par with the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 (2.4 pounds, 12.7 x 8.5 x 0.6 inches), Asus ExpertBook B9450 (2.2 pounds, 0.6 inches) and HP Elite Dragonfly (11.9 x 7.8 x 0.6 inches, 2.5 pounds) and 13-inch MacBook Pro (12 x 8.4 x 0.6 inches, 3.1 pounds). Battery-wise, Lenovo promised you’ll get up to 16.7 hours on a full charge. And as for ports, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon packs a plenty. It’s equipped with two USB 4 Type-C with Thunderbolt 4 ports (DisplayPort / Data Transfer / Power Delivery), two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, an HDMI 2.0 port, and a headphone/mic jack combo. In a nutshell, Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 s a worthy successor to the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 and solid MacBook Pro alternative.
