![]() ![]() That change aside, this otherwise looks like a ThinkPad, and to a Lenovo die-hard, it's a beautiful thing indeed. Once again, the lid here is fashioned out of carbon fiber, though the chassis is now made from magnesium alloy. Even that new adaptive keyboard is coated in Gorilla Glass, to help ward off unsightly scratches. As ever, the notebook was built to meet the military's MIL-STD-810G standards for toughness, with an unwavering hinge that can extend 180 degrees without breaking. One thing that hasn't changed: the build quality. Nonetheless, it's still kinda neat that the new touchscreen model is now thinner than the original non-touch one. Numbers aside, then, this is more of a revision than a full-on makeover. ![]() That's a marginal improvement over last year's model, which came in at 3.25 pounds and 0.81 inch thick (make that 2.99 pounds/0.74 inch for the non-touch version). Once again, the X1 claims to be the lightest 14-inch Ultrabook on the market, with a weight of 3.15 pounds and measuring 0.72 inch thick (if for some reason you configure the machine without a touchscreen, it'll come out to 2.8 pounds and 0.69 inch thick). It just made that wheel even thinner and lighter than it was before. With the exception of that adaptive keyboard panel, which I'll get to in a moment, Lenovo didn't reinvent the wheel with the new X1 Carbon.
