Without a discrete GPU, it will struggle with creative workloads, especially the more heavy duty work like video editing and encoding. The integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics are great for modest video playback and conferencing, light multimedia creation like slideshows for a presentation, or working with documents, spreadsheets, and databases. It’s also not for professional, especially creatives. What’s more, you’ll only need 15-30 minutes plugged in to get another few hours of battery life out of the X1 Carbon thanks to its rapid charge battery.Īll this comes at a cost, however, and the ThinkPad X1 Carbon definitely isn’t cheap. This is an all-day, away-from-an-outlet ultrabook that can easily go the entire day moving from conference room to conference room at major conventions without missing a beat.
