The Core i5 3427U offers a decent amount of performance, similar to notebooks in the Rs 60,000 range. While there are few things to complain about the features and build quality of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, there’s nothing much that comes in the way of performance. There are also fine vents at the bottom of the notebook. For the most part, it’s calm and there’s a gentle stream of warm air blowing out of it. The notebook needs cooling and the only vent visible is on the left of the notebook. The trackpad itself is quite accurate for the most part. There’s also a pointing stick that you can choose to use, if you’re used to it. We prefer clear, distinct buttons in place of this arrangement.

The trackpad is pretty large for its size, There are no distinct buttons as such, but it’s pretty easy to use. The audio and mini-DisplayPort connectors on the other side A smoother finish of the same material is used on the insides. While it provides a better grip, scratches from sharp objects are very clearly noticeable. The laptop has a matte finish to it, sort of like the rubberised treatment that you find on some gaming mice. This one’s thin, slim and weighs around 1.36kg, so it’s really light and easy to carry around just like a netbook. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is built to be like a tank, like most other ThinkPads are. There are some unique things too, such as the RapidCharge feature, which does charge very quickly indeed. There are also dedicated buttons for the volume and muting the microphone. Some of the other extras include the wireless network toggle switch on the left side and the fingerprint scanner on the right. We would’ve appreciated more USB ports, considering that the X1 Carbon doesn’t come with any optical drive on it.

There is no HDMI or D-Sub port on the X1, but there is a mini-DisplayPort output. When it comes to connectivity options, there are only two USB ports, one on either side. It’s powered through a rather unconventional connector, something that looks like a USB port. The power connector is one of the weird things about the X1 Carbon. A very thin and slim notebook that's easy to carry around
