New business benchmark? The 2017 ThinkPad X1 Carbon is already the 5th generation of the extremely portable business laptop. Lenovo not only equips its flagship device with modern Kaby Lake processors, but also uses a completely reworked chassis including modern ports.

So the tdp of the processor of carbon 5th is 25w. and the runtime and temperature control are better than t470s. I can't find any reason to buy t470s rather than x1c 5th

RJ-45 and the mechanical dock.

As for me, no mechanical dock means deal breaker.

I'm very interested whether i5 machine uses full cpu performance under sustained load?
Are you going to review such carbon version?

Quick question. Does this machine enable charging from a external battery pack via the USB c port like new Macbook pro does?
For me and maybe many others that would be a very good convenience, advantage for battery test. I would be very glad if u test/ report on this with USB C enabled machines. -I have a samsung series 9 laptop with USBC, unfortunately it cant charge this way from a samsung external battery..

Our calibrated display profile (icc) is linked in the Display box, you can just download and use it on your own machine.

How do the rigidity of the case and the stability of the hinges compare with the 4th Generation X1?

Excellent review! I've been waiting forever for a review (since the machine was supposed to come out in early February :P)

What about fan noise and coil whine? The last is the reason I never went for a XPS13...

Thank you!

Compared to the kaby lake FHD models of HP Spectre x360 13" (57 Wh), Dell XPS 13 (60 Wh), LG Gram 13"/14" All-Day (60 Wh) and Asus Zenbook UX306/330/360UA (57 Wh), the X1C's battery life is very disappointing.

Also, not sure exactly how much more durable the X1C really is compared to all the other competition. "MIL-spec" and "business durability" are only nominal at this point for these devices. Would love to see more detailed, empirical chassis comparison and testing from notebookcheck.

great review! I, also one of those ppl who has been waiting for your review b4 bitting the x1c 2017 bullet.

it is located at the back of the laptop, around the corner

thank you very much!

Is anyone disturbed by the "just" FHD resolution? How big trade off is this in comparison to a Retina screen for instance? Not sure if I can wait until mid 2017. Really interested in this laptop but concerned about the screen, not sure if I can wait until mid 2017.

Great review! Could you pls check how about the hinges? I'm very interested if the lid can be opened with one hand, without holding down the base?

I found controversial answers on it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krPBbTUh3I8, at 2:48, it shows YES,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYghTefdvDE, at 2:24, it shows NO.

Thank you in advance!
