Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 review: Still the king of business laptops

Lenovo's leading business laptop continues to deliver excellent performance in a classy frame. It's just missing a bit of oomph.

Honestly, the biggest design change you’ll notice is the brushed aluminum console at the top of the lid that houses an infrared (IR) camera with a physical shutter. I threw my usual workload at it, which means approximately 70 open Google Chrome tabs with a mix of G-Suite apps, social media, news and tech sites with a couple of YouTube videos for good measure. My review unit, with its Intel Core Ultra 7 CPU, 32GB of RAM, bested the Zenbook OLED 14 and XPS 14 on the PCMark 10 benchmark, but couldn’t topple this year’s model of the 14-inch HP Spectre x360 nor the Surface Laptop 6.
