This should hopefully help cool the higher-power hardware implemented with this generation, as the internal cooling design has not been updated in any way.Īs far as the specs go, the previous X1 Carbon generation was built on a Tiger Lake Core i7 U platform running at ~20W of power in sustained loads. The other structural update that Lenovo mentioned for this 2022 X1 Carbon is the thermal module’s ability to draw in fresh air not just from the bottom, as before, but also from the top of the laptop, through the keys, while still maintaining the spill-proof of the whole deck. I do appreciate the bump to what’s hopefully a better quality FHD webcam with a brighter lens, which should make a difference in calls, paired with the quad-mic array (which was also available on the 2021 Carbon). These might prove useful in certain situations when working in a shared office or coffee shop, etc. Paired with the included software, the system can blur the screen when you’re looking elsewhere or when it detects a third party in the frame, peeking over your shoulder at what you’re doing. IR is used for signing into Windows with Hello, while the Computer Vision technology allows for improved privacy, in a couple of ways. Part of it is explained by the reversed notch at the top of the display, which now houses the updated FHD camera with an f/2.0 lens, a shutter cover, and optional IR and Computer Vision capabilities. Update: In the meantime, updated ThinkPad X1 Carbon and X1 Yoga models are available, built on 13th-gen Intel specs.Ī closer look at the specs does show a millimetrically larger footprint for the 10th gen Carbon chassis.

Here’s a specs sheet of these latest X1 Carbon and X1 Yoga series, and we’ll further touch on the important changes down below. However, given how the 12th gen Intel Alder Lake Evo platform that powers these thin-and-light notebooks is a game-changer as far as the architecture, performance, and efficiency go, I expect the 2022 X1s to not go unnoticed by those of you looking for the professional and practical characteristics of a ThinkPad, but with extra processing power for serious multitasking and workloads. Among them, there’s the option for an OLED display that we not available before, a new keyboard design that allows for air-intake through the keys and improved cooling, an updated communication bar with an FHD camera and a quad-mic array, alongside the mentioned bump in specs. Now, the 202 updates are less exciting on a first look, as only hardware refreshes with minor other refinements.
