Lenovo x1 print screen windows 8#

I donвЂ™t know why, but I never seen a touch screen with a matt finish. Knowing that the X1 had touch screen, I was afraid it will have a glossy screen. I hardly ever sit down at a desk so I need a screen that looks good everywhere, and matt finish is an important feature in a work laptop. I can work in my car, at customerвЂ™s offices, on my couch, and where not. Having matt finish disables annoying reflections and distractions and allows me to work longer without straining my eyes. One thing I absolutely loved about ThinkPads are the matt finish on the screen. The screen has nice viewing angles and excellent brightness and I like it. I have a 1080 LCD I sometimes use on my workstation and I often find it too small for me to read from (IвЂ™m getting oldвЂ¦). Actually I think I think this resolution is perfect for this screen size as itвЂ™s seems like the best compromise between having more screen real-estate, and being actually able to read stuff. I have heard people complaining about the max resolution whishing 1080. ScreenДЄs mentioned before, the X1 has a 14вЂќ screen with 1600x900 max resolution. I take their word on this and I think that in itвЂ™s category is a great piece of device. The X1 is the thinnest Thinkpad and lightest 14вЂќ ultrabook to date, says Lenovo. This means bigger screen but also bigger body which means more material that makes the device heavier.Д¬omparing to other 14вЂќ laptops the X1 is much more attractive, not only in weight and thickness, but also in dimensions - With the X1, Lenovo has managed to cramp a 14вЂќ screen in a 13вЂќ frame, making it very compact for a 14вЂќ device. This of course are very unfair comparisons! the X220 is 12вЂќ and the Aspire S3 is 13вЂќ, while the X1 is 14вЂќ. When held in hand, or placed on lap it feels significantly skinnies and lighter then the X1. The Acer Aspire S3 is a MacBook Air competitor (clone) so itвЂ™s very light and very thin. My point of reference is my old ThinkPad X220 (as well as other various X models) and my other Acer Aspire S3 laptop.Д¬omparing to the X220 the X1 is pretty thin, but not so lighter. It is also pretty light but not very light. The body is pretty thin, but not very thin. ItвЂ™s like the surface absorbs the fat from your body and it shows easily on the matt carbon. After a decent use, you will notice some smudging marks where your hands touch the laptop, mostly on the touchpad, and the areas where your rest your palms. The materials choice adds to the solid quality feel, but also has a side effect. The device feels very good, it has a very premium feel to it, so much that it makes other ThinkPads look plasticy and cheap next to it. Carbon fiber was used in other ThinkPads as well, but now it is a major ingredient of the body and shell. The X1 Carbon is called that way because it is actually constructed of carbon fiber - A high quality material that is used in premium products that is very light and tough (and expensive). The X1 definitely turn heads when youвЂ™ll take it out of our bag and place it on the table, while still provide everything youвЂ™d expect from a ThinkPad. It does a great job representing the ThinkPad family while taking it a step further, adding the cool factor. The X1 Carbon is a member of the ThinkPad family, so it carries the same qualities as robustness, comfort, and performance, but it does that with a style.

I (as many others) chose the Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch. We actually got to choose between a handful of very compelling devices.
