Lenovo launches X1 Carbon first ThinkPad ultrabook

One of the oldest dynasties in the world of technology, the ThinkPad family of notebooks enterprise was born in 1992 at the hands of IBM since 2005 it is under the supervision of the Chinese Lenovo.  ThinkPad X1 Carbon, it comes with Intel Ivy Bridge, which will be the hallmark of other products in the category.


Aimed at executives, the model has 14-inch screen with a curious resolution of 1600 x 900 pixels, two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, Mini Display Port, card reader and fingerprint reader, among other treats.

But his high profile, who would say, is visual. The X1 Carbon continues the same style boxy and black of his predecessors and still have the classic (and useless) installed red trackball in the middle of the keyboard. But has a new backlit keyboard and a spacious trackpad with her ​​MacBook, which gives a modern look to the whole set (which was modern 20 years ago, it was tacky 10 years ago and today is modern again).

As the name itself should report to the smarter, the new laptop uses carbon fiber for its chassis, magnesium alloy instead of the other models in the line. This allows the computer has only 1.36 kg, and distributed in its silhouette with 18 mm in the thickest portion. Speaking to The Verge site, a representative said that Lenovo can not say exactly what processor X1 Carbon team, "Ivy Brigge certain CPUs are still under embargo," he explains, implying that the computer uses a chip that still has not been officially presented.

According to the manufacturer, this is the "Ultrabook lightest 14-inch market," which after all should not mean much. The price of the novelty has not yet been revealed and should hit stores in July.
