Carbon-fibre ultraportable for mobile professionals
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon 5 is a 14-inch laptop built around an Intel Core i7-7500U processor running up to 3.5 GHz. It ships with 8 GB of memory and a 256 GB NVMe PCIe solid-state drive. The chassis combines carbon-fibre reinforcement with a magnesium alloy roll-cage tested against twelve military-grade requirements and more than 200 durability checks while weighing 2.49 lbs.
WQHD IPS display and Thunderbolt 3 connectivity
The 14.0-inch IPS panel delivers a 2560 x 1440 resolution without touch input. A Thunderbolt 3 port over USB-C provides up to 40 Gbps of data bandwidth and supports charging, offering four times the data throughput of earlier USB-C implementations. Wireless peripherals connect through Bluetooth 4.1, and the integrated webcam and UltraNav touchpad handle video calls and navigation.
8 GB memory and 256 GB storage for mainstream
Eight gigabytes of RAM and a 256 GB NVMe drive comfortably run office suites, web browsers and lightweight development tools on Windows 7 Professional. Heavier multitasking with large datasets, virtual machines or media editing will exhaust the available memory and storage headroom. Buyers who need more storage or higher memory capacity should consider other configurations.
