Bumps up the coolness factor

The legendary ThinkPad keyboard is designed for ergonomics and comfort—and part of that comfort means improved airflow. The underside of the keys facilitates air intake when in use. Combined with the dual fan and rear venting, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 notebook delivers improved thermals. So whether you’re powering through your day, or your night, or both, the X1 will stay as cool as you are.

Whether you require richly detailed graphics with super-high screen resolution, or extra security to combat prying eyes, we’ve got options for you. Ranging from a widescreen ultra extended graphics array (WUXGA) touchscreen to a 2.8K OLED display, to a WUXGA with ePrivacy, all of the 14ʺ panels feature a 16:10 aspect ratio with maximum screen real estate. What’s more, almost all selections include Eyesafe® certification to reduce eye fatigue.

Security that works 24/7

Trusted ThinkPad quality

We use the US Department of Defense's MIL-STD 810H standards to create a balance of reliability and durability for our ThinkPad laptops. We test against 12 standards and more than 200 quality checks to ensure they run in extreme conditions. These tests cover harsh variables like Arctic wilderness and desert dust storms, including temperature, pressure, humidity, vibration, and more.

Feel good about the planet

At Lenovo, we take sustainability seriously. We’ve committed to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, making us the world’s first PC and smartphone maker and one of only 139 companies with a net-zero target validated by Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). For the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11, that means low-temp soldering and 90% recycled magnesium on the C cover. We use 98% post-consumer content (PCC) recycled plastic in the speaker enclosure, 25-30% PCC recycled plastic in the battery enclosure, and 90% PCC recycled plastic in the power adapter. Packaging is entirely plastic-free.
