Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 Aura Edition in hand: Beautiful, classy

There is no need to say too much about the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon because this model is already classy. In this 14th generation version, Lenovo still proves that they have the most classy ultrabook model for the Windows world for many years. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 not only has upgraded configuration, but it also aims to be easy to repair for users. That's right, this laptop can let you easily replace the SSD, clean the device, replace the keyboard cluster and haptic touchpad and even the battery without having to use complicated tools, just a three-key screw can do it all.

The version I have on hand to introduce to you is the max option version: 14-inch 2.8K OLED 120Hz screen, Intel Core Ultra X7 368H CPU, 64GB LPDDR5x 9600 MT/s RAM, 2TB PCIe Gen 5 SSD, 58Whr battery and weight 1.08kg. The price for this version is 3,000 pounds, converted into Vietnamese currency without tax is 104 million VND.

Design of ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14

This frame is still similar to other ThinkPad X1 Carbon generations, still sturdy, sturdy, high-end and... fingerprint-resistant. The easiest way for you to recognize a high-end laptop from the rest is to look at the hinge.

The hinge of the ThinkPad

Most high-end ultrabook models make hinges very well, but among very good machines, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon is the rare machine that does it best. The hinge of the device can open 180 degrees.

In addition to the high-class exterior, the inside of the machine must also be high-class, the "inner" of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon looks neat and logical, the capacitors are all neat and high-class. Looking closely inside, the M.2 SSD has a heatsink to dissipate heat. The 58Whr battery takes up almost half of the device's frame. With this battery capacity, it is unknown how long the device will last. We also have an extra slot to install a WWAN card to use a SIM. SIM slot options are available but you have to buy a network card or you can buy it when choosing the device configuration.

This year's keyboard and touchpad can also be easily removed, but I won't mention much more because Cuhiep will have a teardown later, please wait. Speaking of more details about the typing feeling, the ThinkPad

The haptic touchpad of the ThinkPad Lenovo still gives users the option of a traditional Touchpad with NFC to serve the business environment.

Regarding connection ports, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon will have 3 USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports, 1 HDMI port, 3.5mm combo jack, USB-A port, Kensington lock, all for business use.

The ThinkPad X1 Carbon has a pretty impressive speaker system, I heard it and it sounds better than my MacBook Air.

Screen of ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14

Lenovo gives users many screen options, like many previous ThinkPad X1 Carbon generations, from FHD to 2.8K OLED, this year I don't see a 4K OLED option like previous versions. Actually, I don't find 4K OLED too necessary, I think 2.8K OLED 120Hz is more than enough.

Not only that, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 screen has a peak brightness of 500 nits, Eyesafe®️Certified Low Blue Light certification and has touch. The device's screen also has an anti-glare matte coating. In terms of display quality, I think the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 is beautiful, and the brightness is not really high for a 100 million laptop.

Configuration of ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14

As mentioned at the beginning of the article, the version I have is the highest configuration version, in addition, users can choose Core Ultra 5 or Core Ultra 7 configuration, I do not see a Core Ultra 9/X9 option in the configuration table of the device that Lenovo provides. 64GB of RAM is a very high number compared to an ultrabook, you can safely use the device for a very long time without worrying about lack of memory. In current times, 64GB of RAM is no different from gold. In addition, Lenovo gives users lower RAM options of 16GB and 32GB. The machine's SSD is 2TB PCIe Gen 5. In a quick test, its sequential read and write speed is very high, approximately 13GB/s, and because this is a Gen 5 SSD, you don't need to worry about it being slow, project loading is extremely fast.
