A Detailed Review Of The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 (2023) Laptop
LENOVO THINKPAD X1 CARBON GEN 11 (2023) – Here is a thorough and detailed evaluation of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 (2023), highlighting its positive aspects as well as its drawbacks.
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 (2023) is a premium ultraportable Windows laptop, succeeding the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 from 2022. While the design remains unchanged, the Gen 11 model offers upgraded options with the latest Intel 13th Gen U- and P-series CPUs. It supports a maximum of 64GB of memory and up to 2TB of storage.
Multiple display choices are available, such as FHD+ (1920 x 1200) screens, a 2.2k IPS panel, and a 2.8k OLED panel. Other features include a 1080p webcam, Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, a 56Wh battery, and optional LTE support. Ports consist of two USB-A ports, two USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI port, and a headphone jack.
In terms of gaming performance, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 is considered average. Although it houses a capable Intel 13th Gen CPU, its integrated graphics lack the power required to handle graphically intensive games. It can manage lighter, older titles but only on lower settings for smooth gameplay. Furthermore, it’s equipped with 60Hz displays that do not support Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), which can result in screen tearing. On the positive side, it offers numerous ports for connecting peripherals and external displays, and it maintains cool and quiet operation even under heavy workloads.
PROS
- Spacious and tactile keyboard.
- Wide port selection includes Thunderbolt 4.
- Doesn’t get hot or loud under load.
CONS
- Integrated graphics can’t handle demanding tasks.
- Soldered RAM.
- 60Hz display with slow response time.
- No VRR to reduce screen tearing.
