today we are here in the lenovo suite where they are showing off their latest
thinkpad x1 carbon it's got some pretty
significant spec upgrades first and foremost of which is an 8th gen core
processor yes my friends we are talking quad core in a tiny lightweight laptop
like this it can be equipped with up to 16 gigs of RAM up to a one terabyte m.2
drive and it's got a ton of other great features built into it as well it's
available with Windows hello facial recognition as well as
you know fingerprint sensors for plebs it's got a shutter to hide the webcam
sort of maybe we'll get to that later it's available with up to a 500 peak
brightness 1440p display and there's another option with
touch and this premium display option
has a hundred percent adobe RGB coverage and it is factory calibrated they've
actually tuned the display for dolby vision and in terms of the performance
it is somewhere near the HDR 400 spec
which is kind of like it's like sort of related to HDR 10 but that would be like
a thousand so it's like HDR 1000 is a thousand nits peak brightness and then
there's like 600 and 400 the actual value of it is sort of debatable but
it'll understand an HDR signal let's put it that way it's got support for dolby
atmos and the keyboard is characteristic of lenovo pretty darn solid with
everything you could want in terms of inputs you got the nipple you got the
buttons and you've got the touchpad
i o is not disappointing actually
you can't say that about a lot of modern devices so we've got a three and a half
millimeter jack we've got a usb-a on that side we've got another usb-a we've
got an HDMI output we've got two
Thunderbolt ports with four PCIe lanes
each and an Ethernet jack but it's like this
weird proprietary form factor for it i had to ask i was like why do you need an
Ethernet jack why isn't it just a type c if it's got to plug into your dock which
has a bunch of other io on it and the answer was actually really smart it's so
that your Mac Address doesn't change that's great for corporate clients when
you plug into your dock and you want to access your vpn or whatever it's got
integrated 4g lte and uh
57 watt hour battery cortana support now
let's get into the things that i'm like super disappointed about
so the premium 1440p panel
not available with touch thank you panel makers
the ir camera is not compatible with the cover
and the ir camera version is not available with the premium panel
so it's like man it's like so close to being like
basically perfect maybe next year
maybe next year i feel like i say that a lot it's going to start at 1709. that is
that is a weird weird price point
but you know what's not at a weird price point lastpass lastpass is a great value
