Lenovo Drops Super-Light ThinkPad X1 Carbon

Lenovo is bringing the ultrabook to the business world in a big way with the announcement of the slim ThinkPad X1 Carbon.

Lightweight, slim, and packing third-generation Intel processors and speedy solid-state drives (SSD), the four new ThinkPad configurations promise brisk performance and industrial-grade reliability.

An update to the 2011 ThinkPad X1 ultraportable, the new ThinkPad X1 Carbon is lighter and thinner, with third-generation Intel processing providing plenty of power for on-the-go productivity. Carbon fiber construction drops the weight to 3 pounds and thickness to a mere 18mm (0.71 inch). Equipped with a 14-inch, high-resolution (1,600-by-900) display and Lenovo’s Precision keyboard, the slim laptop looks and feels like a premium business laptop, and backs it up with a third-generation Intel processor, a 720p webcam for video conferencing, and mobile broadband available on most models.

While not the first ultrabook from Lenovo—the Lenovo IdeaPad U310, for example, is a highly rated ultrabook for the consumer market—it is the first to join the ranks of Lenovo’s top business notebooks. PCMag got some hands-on time with the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon back in May when the new model was initially announced and came away impressed.

The ThinkPad X1 Carbon has four available configurations, offering a range of options in processors and pricing. the most affordable of the four is equipped with an Intel Core i5-3317U processor and 128GB SSD, and will retail for $1,399. the next configuration steps up to an Intel Core i5-3427U processor, and adds 3G mobile broadband for on-the-go connectivity, selling for $1,499. Bumping up to a 256GB SSD, with the same Intel Core i5-3427U processor and 3G mobile broadband, the next configuration sells for $1,649, while a faster Intel Core i7-3667U is available for $1,849.

All configurations of the X1 Carbon will feature a 14-inch, anti-glare display with 1,600-by-900 resolution, with ports for USB 3.0, mini-DisplayPort, and Ethernet via USB dongle. Lenovo promises up to 6.3 hours of battery life from the sealed 45Wh battery, which is decent given the slim dimensions (0.74 by 13.1 by 8.9 inches) and featherweight construction.

Watch for our upcoming review of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon.

CES Day One: Best Tablets

Despite the market’s tepid response to Android tablets in 2011, hardware makers are kicking off CES 2012 with … you guessed it: more Android tablets. Of those that have been announced, these are the ones that stand out the most.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 – This tablet has a small 7.7-inch display and is incredibly thin at 7.9-mm thick. it is lightweight at only 340 grams (0.75 pounds), but still offers plenty of power.

Some of the most important features include support for Verizon’s LTE 4G network and mobile hotspot for up to 10 devices; 1.4-GHz dual-core processor; Android 3.2 Honeycomb with Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface; Samsung’s Social and Media Hubs for sharing and content; and 16 GB of internal storage. it also has a 3.2-megapixel rear-facing camera with LED flash and full 720p recording and 1080p playback (through HDMI dock or adapter) and 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi. Pricing and availability were not announced.

[ Ultrabooks are expected to make a splash at CES. Read CES 2012: Ultrabook Ultimate FAQ. ]

Pantech Element – AT&T and Pantech surprised with this tablet. The best feature is perhaps the price: it will sell for $299 with a new data contract.

The Element is Pantech’s first LTE-Android tablet for AT&T, and it is waterproof with an IP-57 rating, meaning it can be submerged in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. The Element runs on Android 3.2 Honeycomb and includes a crisp 8-inch display with 1024 x 768 pixels, front- and rear-facing cameras, and a rich Web experience with full HTML and PC-like tabbed browsing. What’s more interesting is that AT&T is offering the Element and the Pantech Burst LTE smartphone for $250 when purchased together. That’s quite a deal.

Toshiba Excite X10 – This tablet arrives at some point during the first quarter of the year. The Excite offers a 1.2-GHz dual-core Texas Instruments OMAP processor and has a 10-inch display with 1280 x 800 pixels. it also includes a 5-megapixel main camera and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video chats. The Excite X10 runs Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.

ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF700T – This tablet features a 10.1-inch display with 1920 x 1200 pixels and Gorilla Glass. it targets the entertainment category.

The TF700T has a 1.3-GHz quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 Cortex A9 processor and a 12-core GeForce GPU. it has an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera with autofocus and dedicated LED Flash and 1080p HD video capture. The front-facing camera for video chats rates 2 megapixels. it includes 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, and 32 GB or 64 GB of internal storage. it will ship during the second quarter of 2012.
