Peter Hortensius, president, Lenovo Product Group, said, “Bringing touch gesture control to our best ThinkPad ever is a natural evolution of the portfolio and a big step towards fulfilling our promise to bring computers into a new PC Plus era.We are excited to be able to offer customers the best experience in a thin and light business class Ultrabook. The X1 Carbon Touch is the Ultrabook to beat.”
Tipping the scales at a relatively lightweight 3.4 pounds while measuring all of 20.8mm thin, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch uses carbon fiber material that delivers unprecedented strength and durability, and it sports a smooth 10-finger touch sensitive 14-inch HD+ display, a choice of Intel Core i5 and i7 processors, and Dolby Home Theater v4. Other hardware goodies include a HD face-tracking camera, dual array microphones, an integrated fingerprint reader and RapidCharge capability. Expect to pick up the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch for $1,499 a pop.
