There are also no Yoga-like party tricks here – the lid will fold flat, but no further, and this particular screen is not multi-touch and thus soon attracted the fingerprints of disappointment from those used to pawing at the display. The 500-nit display lacked any sort of privacy guard on our review model, which might worry some since the bright screen is viewable from a wide range of angles. The glossy screen, with slim bezels and a webcam mounted top and centre (with privacy protected by a physical shutter), is a 14" 4K IPS affair, rocking a 3840 x 2160 resolution with Dolby Vision. Otherwise it's an austere affair visually, with a high-quality matte finish that seems to be a magnet for fingerprints. The fingerprint reader does, however, work a treat. We've not had a great experience with Windows Hello facial recognition on competing laptops, so can't single Lenovo out for that particular criticism.

Beside the trackpad lurks the fingerprint reader, which remains a better bet than the frankly awful facial recognition of the Windows Hello compatible 720p camera setup. The trackpad, with physical buttons for those who want them, is present and correct, as is the pointing stick for those that can't live without it.

The exterior of our test machine was coated with a soft-touch finish, which was a nice thing to hold but after only a few days being lugged around in a laptop bag as a daily driver began to show scuffs. The laptop is also 6 per cent thinner than its predecessor, according to Lenovo, but retains enough heft to be easily openable with just one finger. The machine weighs a shade over 1kg and it is easy to forget it is squatting in a shoulder bag.
Now in its seventh generation, the X1 Carbon is facing stiff competition from the likes of Microsoft and its Surface Laptop 3 as well as the usual suspects, Dell and HP, and early signs suggest that the old warhorse remains more than a match. Lenovo's premium X1 Carbon ThinkPad has had an update, but is it any good?įor those of a certain age, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon is very much the Ford Cortina GXL of its generation – the tippety-top of the line handed out to workers who almost, but don't quite, merit a MacBook Pro.
