This CPU is massively more powerful than the last-gen Carbon 9's processors for the kind of productivity jobs this laptop is made for. The Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 10 gets a 12th Gen Intel Core i7-1260p, and this review model has a massive 32GB RAM. Whenever Intel releases a new generation of laptop chipsets, it's time for Lenovo to put out a fresh ThinkPad X1. ![]() Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 10 review: Performance & Battery However, they have their fans, and those will find that both these features still feel great for their needs. I'm not as enduring, or aged, enough of a fan to properly appreciate the mouse nipple and separated-out mouse keys. The Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon has for many years been a laptop series I've loved but could never afford. This pad feels a lot like those of Microsoft Surface Laptops from a couple of years ago but, you guessed it, Microsoft has started using haptic pads. I haven't used a haptic touchpad that feels as good as this – the current trend is to ditch mechanical clickers like the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 10’s in favour of a haptic motor. And the clicker has great feedback with an almost velvet edge to it that just feels. The surface is textured glass, as you'd hope.

Magnesium alloys work so well in laptops because they are light and strong. You just can't come expecting the obviously cool and metallic feel of a MacBook Pro. This is not a dig at the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 10's design, though. And the lid is carbon-fibre reinforced polymer, likely to be some form of plastic with carbon fibre inlaid. The lower plates are magnesium alloy, which often feels like a close relation of plastic even though it is absolutely metal. Some folks may mistake its bodywork for plastic. There are going to be a lot of positive impressions in this review, but your first 10 seconds with the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 10 might prove disappointing. ![]()
