lenovo is going very well with its utrabooks and notebooks and so on they bring this new think pad in the market and everyone expecting it to be a good one.
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon with core i5 processor of
rd Generation is just what mostly people want to get and also HD 4000 are powerd enough to get the goal and low quality games as well and with ssd, it just too good but let see how it performs....
The ThinkPad has retained its trademark black finish throughout the past 20 years, and although there have been some models that have bucked the trend, the majority of ThinkPads have retained the same design DNA.Of course design is completely subjective, and I’m sure there are many of you out there who find the ThinkPad design old, dated and downright boring, but that’s not how I see it. You see, black is timeless, whether it’s that little black dress from Valentino, the Kenzo dinner suit that only comes out of the wardrobe once a year,
Other than the optional SIM slot, located around back on 3G-equipped models, all the ports on the X1 are on the left and the right sides of the machine. On the right, starting at the back, you'll find a Kensington Security Slot, a USB 3.0 port, Mini DisplayPort, a 3.5mm headphone jack and an SD card reader. Move to the left and, at the rear, you'll find a new-style rectangular power plug, the vent for the (nearly silent) CPU fan, a USB 2.0 port and the ThinkPad's patented wireless switch, which instantly kills all transmitters and receivers in the machine to extend your battery life. Think of it as a physical airplane mode toggle, your best friend when desperately trying to put the finishing touches on your proposal while the battery life indicator down in the taskbar is showing single digits.
Somewhat annoyingly, only that USB port on the right is of the SuperSpeed variety, and there's no visual differentiation between this one and the lowly 2.0 port on the other side, other than a tiny, gray "SS" silkscreened nearby. You'll just have to remember. And, we couldn't help but think the big, rectangular power plug is a bit of a step backward from the traditional round ones. It's slightly harder to line up and insert but, more troubling, it's the same height as a USB port, meaning if you're blindly trying to find a home for your thumb drive you might find yourself trying to jam it in the wrong place. Both issues, we might add, that go away with a bit of familiarity.
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon continues that design tradition. The whole chassis is finished in that familiar, rubberised coating, making it feel as good as it looks. With the lid closed, the X1 Carbon has a slightly wedge-like appearance, not too dissimilar to a MacBook Air, but its matte black finish somehow shrinks its dimensions, making it seem smaller than it actually is. There’s very little breaking up that minimalist design, with the ThinkPad logo placed in its usual corner on the lid, and a relatively small Lenovo logo mirroring it.The X1 Carbon keyboard has an isolated key design, as is the norm these days, but Lenovo has clearly weaved its magic once more. Typing on the X1 Carbon is an absolute joy. Every key has what feels like acres of travel, and the key action itself is as close to perfect as you’re likely to find. The break and spring weights are sublime, cuing up your fingers for the next key strike. I felt genuine disappointment when typing on my MacBook Air earlier today, which itself has a very fine keyboard. If you’re in the business of knocking out lengthy documents, you’ll be very, very happy. And let’s not forget that if you spill your drink on your ThinkPad keyboard, it will simply drain out of the bottom without affecting the electrical components inside – the motherboard is completely sealed, so any spills will just require draining (perhaps some rinsing) and a few hours drying.
As is usually the case with a ThinkPad, you have a choise of pointing devices. Nestling between the G, H and B keys is the traditional ThinkPad TrackPoint.Performance is dazzling, as you’d expect from a computer with a top-of-the-line chip like the X1 Carbon offers. There’s no dedicated video card, so don’t expect to be gaming with it, but general app performance is very speedy. That performance, combined with the super-bright LCD, comes at a cost, though. The Carbon’s battery life, at barely three hours, just isn’t impressive.
Another problem with the Carbon is its clickpad. I’d thought Lenovo had worked the kinks out of its touchpad issues, but the X1′s clickpad — which, in a first for the company, uses a glass surface — is a bit rattly and loose. This makes clicks and even taps difficult to accomplish without the cursor jumping around on the screen. This became increasingly frustrating during my testing, but fortunately, the Carbon also features the famous ThinkPad pointing stick, too. So, if the clickpad gets to be too aggravating, you have an out.The keyboard is in line with Lenovo’s move to island-style keys on all its laptops. The action and travel are good, but not great. In general, it’s one of the better ultrabook keyboards I’ve encountered, and it’s suitable for long-form typing.
Lets do some tests !!!
- Nice Design.
- Very good touch-pad.
- Solid construction.
- Excellent Display.
- No LAN port .
- Runs hotter.
- 1600x900 should be 1920x1080 in $1200+.
- Should have Nvidia/AMD 28nm GPU.
