Lenovo’s ThinkPad line is known for robust business laptops that can withstand the test of time. One of the popular laptops from the ThinkPad lineup is the X1 Carbon, which is now in its 8th generation. Now, Lenovo is bringing this latest iteration of the X1 Carbon to Singapore.

Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Carbon 8th-gen has more business-oriented features than ever. Performance gets a huge bump with the addition of 10th-gen Intel Core processors with Pro. Those who wanted high-speed Internet access can get it with the inclusion of WiFi 6 on this laptop.

Remote work is all the trend nowadays. Thankfully, the X1 Carbon has a one-touch video calling button. Those who always participate in a teleconference will appreciate this inclusion within the function button. The keyboard remains the same with this generation, featuring excellent key travel and feedback for professionals on the go. Meanwhile, the carbon fiber chassis keeps the laptop light and compact.

The selection of ports in ThinkPad X1 Carbon remains unchanged. Two Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports flank the left side along with 1 x USB-A 3.1, an HDMI 1.4 port, and an audio jack. Meanwhile, the right side only has a lone USB-A 3.1 port. All configurations also get a MicroSD card reader.

The battery life from this laptop remains at 51Wh, which is enough for a day’s usage. Business-minded professionals who are conscious of their privacy and security can also make use of the ThinkShutter webcam cover and ThinkShield solutions present on this laptop. It is also certified with MIL-STD spec rating, so it can survive moderate drops and liquid spills.
