AMD Vision Pro Technology

AMD Dual Core accelerated processing unit (APU) with Vision Pro technology integrates the processor and chipset into one unit, resulting in graphic performance that's improved up to 65%.

Solid-State Storage Drives (SSDs)

Solid-state storage drives use Flash memory rather than traditional magnetic storage. So they're lighter than traditional drives, use less power and offer improved performance (faster boot times, faster access to stored data). And since they have no moving parts, solid state drives are considered less susceptible to damage or breakdown.

ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery

All ThinkPad® systems include ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery, a robust system-backup and recovery tool to help preserve your data and settings. There's even a convenient one-button recovery feature.

Integrated Fingerprint Reader

The integrated Fingerprint Reader lets you access your password-protected system with a simple swipe of the finger. And it works with the standard Trusted Platform Module hardware and Client Security Solution software to provide a seamless, top-to-bottom security package.

MIL-SPEC Testing for Durability

ThinkPads are designed for durability and reliability. Baked, battered, blistered, and blown with sand, X Series laptops are tested against extreme elements and must pass a significant number of specifications for military-grade computing.

Intel® vPro Technology

Intel® vPro Technology enables both remote manageability and enhanced security through features like Active Management Technology (AMT). With Intel AMT, businesses can easily monitor, maintain, secure, and service their PC fleet, even when systems are powered down. Note that the X1 Carbon is one of the first Ultrabooks with Intel® vPro Technology.

Shared Docking Station With Other ThinkPad Series

The X230 shares common docking stations with select models of the ThinkPad T, L, and W Series, which can save on equipment costs and make managing parts numbers easy. Plus, all Series 3 docks use the same docking connector. See ThinkPad Port Replicator Series 3, ThinkPad Mini Dock, and ThinkPad Mini Dock Plus Series 3.

Lenovo RapidCharge Battery

RapidCharge battery is designed to last three times longer than a standard notebook battery, and in just 30 to 35 minutes, it charges the battery up to 80% capacity. Note: 35-minute charging time requires the 90W Adapter that's included with system.

10-Finger Touch Display

Optimized for Windows 8, 10-finger touch allows for a fluid tablet-like interaction. Intuitive navigation enables browsing, scrolling, using apps, even gaming, with a simple swipe of the touchscreen. A capacitive touch panel trigger actions immediately, and the cursors follow your fingers around the screen without any perceptible lag or delays.

Full-Sized, Spill-Resistant Keyboard

The legendary ThinkPad ergonomic keyboard is renowned for its full array of keys, excellent feel, and TrackPoint® pointing device. It also features a full-sized, spill-resistant design that protects the circuitry from liquids. X Series models use an advanced drainage system that collects and diverts liquid away from the circuitry through a drainage hole in the bottom.

Industry-Leading Connectivity Options

Select ThinkPad models feature the latest in wireless connectivity, including blazing fast 802.11n MIMO WiFi, and (optional) Bluetooth®.

Lenovo Mobile Access

This pay-as-you-go wireless WAN (WWAN) mobile broadband service enables online access anywhere, anytime, with flexible pricing and no contract needed. Perfect for travelers.

Dolby® Home Theater®

Immerse yourself in vivid digital surround sound. Experience music, DVDs, or your latest gaming obsession like never before, with greater clarity and fidelity.

Integrated Webcam

ThinkPad tablets feature an integrated webcam at the top of the display bezel — ideal for Web conferencing or video messaging. The X1 Carbon, X230, and X131e feature an optional 720p HD camera with face tracking and wide angle viewing.

Optional Backlit Keyboard

This optional functionality makes working in dark environments effortless.

EPEAT® Gold Environmental Rating

Under the federally-funded EPEAT® program in the US, manufacturers declare their products' conformance to a comprehensive set of environmental criteria. EPEAT Gold products must meet all 23 required criteria and at least 75% of the optional criteria.

ULE Gold Sustainable Product Certification

ULE Gold Sustainable Product Certification from Underwriters Labs is awarded for energy efficiency, reduction in toxic chemicals, and use of recycled materials in its design. The Lenovo ThinkPad T420 was awarded the first ULE Gold certification for a PC, and now all of our 2012 models share this certification.

Cool & Quiet Thermal Design

Owl-wing inspired blades are designed to push more air at a very low audible level. Advanced thermal design with tuned airflow provides cooler systems and balances temperatures. Dual vents and new 2012 fan blade design deliver 28% increase in airflow, plus dust collection is minimized. As a result, select ThinkPad models provide better processing performance and system reliability by minimizing system temperatures, as well as promoting a longer lifecycle.

Ultrabook™

The Ultrabook™ form factor, inspired by Intel®, delivers powerful performance along with long-lasting battery life, in an ultra-light, ultra-thin laptop that's perfect for on-the-go. Ultrabooks feature nearly instant resume from standby mode, as well as rapid connectivity. Note that the X1 Carbon is the best business-class Ultrabook on the market in terms of durability, reliability, display quality, lightness, manageability, and keyboard design — and now with the X1 Carbon Touch, it just got even better!
