Lenovo
is releasing a touchscreen version of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Ultrabook,
appropriately called the X1 Carbon Touch. And, as expected, it's on sale this
month. Today, actually, starting at $1,399 a $150 premium over the non-touch
model. Like the regular X1 Carbon, it has a 14-inch, 1,600 x 900 screen, a
carbon fiber chassis, an Ivy Bridge chipset, built-in 3G and a backlit ThinkPad
keyboard, complete with that signature red pointing stick.
The
main difference is that the touchscreen makes this a bit thicker and heavier
(20.8mm and "less than" 3.5 pounds, versus three pounds and 18mm
thick for the non-touch model). Even then, 3.4 pounds is still lighter than
some 13-inch Ultrabooks we've seen. In fact, Lenovo is billing it as the
world's lightest 14-inch Ultrabook, though we all know how short-lived such
distinctions are. As for battery life, Lenovo rates this for 8.2 hours of
runtime. If true, that would be very good news indeed, given that we've yet to
test a touchscreen Ultrabook with decent battery life.
