The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 is the epitome of ultra-premium business performance and portability. Powered by the Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 155U, this AI-ready PC features a hybrid architecture with 12 cores and 14 threads, and includes integrated Intel® AI Boost NPU delivering up to 11 TOPS of AI acceleration. Whether you’re tackling intensive workloads, video conferencing, or running modern AI-enhanced productivity tools, this system adapts seamlessly to your workflow.
Its 14″ WUXGA (1920×1200) IPS anti-glare display offers a crisp, color-accurate experience with a 16:10 aspect ratio and 400 nits brightness. Backed by a 32GB LPDDR5x-6400 soldered memory configuration and 512GB PCIe Gen 4 SSD, multitasking is fluid, storage is fast, and boot-up times are nearly instantaneous.
Wrapped in a lightweight yet military-tested carbon fiber and aluminum chassis, the X1 Carbon Gen 12 weighs just around 2.4 pounds — yet still packs a punch with rich features: Thunderbolt™ 4, HDMI 2.1, Wi-Fi 6E, Dolby Atmos® stereo speakers, and a 1080p IR hybrid webcam with privacy shutter and Windows Hello support.
From its rapid-charging 57Wh battery to its match-on-chip fingerprint reader, this is a business-class ultrabook engineered for durability, security, and forward-loing AI performance.
