An IT admin's dream

The new ThinkPad X1 Carbon offers robust security features, including ThinkShutter, which covers the front-facing HD webcam, and match-on-chip fingerprint readers with anti-spoofing 

technology that helps safeguard company data while providing more secure authentication and log-in. In addition, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon can be connected to the

new ThinkPad Pro Dock (optional) with its USB-C side mechanical docking station that spans a broad offering of 2018 ThinkPad devices, making it a great cost-saving docking solution. 

This simplified mechanical docking saves valuable time for employees who frequently work away from their desks during the day. What more could an IT administrator ask for?

Amp up your game

The new 8th generation Intel® Quad Core™ CPUs boost performance 35% over the previous generation. Memory is even faster too with LPDDR3. 

When you add in the LTE-A (optional)* card, which keeps your ThinkPad X1 Carbon connected around the globe, you can expect to be 

productive no matter where life takes you. Plus, if you opt for the IR camera, it includes Glance by Mirametrix®, which merges face-, eye-, 

and gaze-tracking, resulting in a more intuitive and productive interaction by automatically focusing the cursor and shifting windows with just a move of your eye!

Dazzle yourself & others!

The new design of the X1 Carbon will surely dazzle. The dark black, soft-touch cover and the sleek silver option both include color-coded hinges, and the 14” display options are bigger and more stunning than ever.

Choose the low-weight touch option with the FHD display. Or go with the dramatic Dolby® Vision™ high-dynamic-range [HDR] technology*. As the first PC to include Dolby Vision, our new ThinkPad X1 laptops deliver increased brightness, expanded contrast, amazingly accurate colors, and refined detail. Either way, you get a super-bright display in a narrow-bezel design that's just 15.95 mm thin. And the best part? Minimal impact on battery life!

Requires the forthcoming Windows 10 Summer 2018 update option, which features WQHD 500 nits and 100% color gamut.

Audio so amazing you’ll think it's live

Speakers on the X1 Carbon deliver high-quality sound with Dolby Audio™ Premium, which energizes your entertainment with rich, powerful sound. It dynamically adjusts audio to deliver home theater quality in a virtual surround sound experience for all your entertainment. Boosted bass and enhanced volume turn it all up for sound that's loud and clear enough to share. And for times you need to plug in your headphones, enter a whole new world of sound with Dolby Atmos, for an immersive experience that puts you inside the action.
