Lenovo says the ThinkPad X1 Carbon comes with intel’s “very latest generation” of Intel Core i7 mobile CPUs. Intel recently announced its 13th Gen Intel Core i9 desktop processors, but hasn’t announced their mobile counterparts. The 2022 ThinkPad X1 also came with Core i5 and Core i7 mobile processors. ZDNet recently reviewed the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 , which featured the 12th generation Intel Core i7-1255U processor.
Lenovo points to updates to features like Lenovo View as a result of the shift to hybrid work. “Collaboration features like auto-framing, background concealment, and virtual presenter upgrade those on-camera calls to make the presenter front and center,” it said.
The new ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 and X1 Yoga Gen 8 can be configured with up to 64GB of LPDDR5 RAM, with both supporting up to two terabytes (TB) of Gen 4 PCIe NVMe SSD. Meanwhile, the ThinkPad X1 can be configured with 16GB RAM and up to 1TB Gen 4 PCIe SSD.
Each of the laptops comes with a decent array of ports, including two Thunderbolt 4/USB-C ports, two USB-A 3.2 ports, one HDMI 2.0b port, and a 3.5mm audio jack. They’re all thin, at no more than 0.61 inches and reasonably lightweight; the heaviest, the Yoga, weighs 3 pounds.
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 is expected to start at $1,729, while The ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 8 is expected to start at $1,859, and the ThinkPad X1 Nano Gen 3 should start from $1,649. All of them will be available from April 2023.
