With the high prices of the next generation (Gen 12) our review team said the Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 11 is a better bargain and is the best Lenovo laptop for businesses. CNET Senior Editor Matt Elliott cited the green construction, long battery life, a 14-inch display and "an industry-best keyboard" as some of the many perks. In fact he called it a "near-perfect business ultraportable" in his product review of the machine.
And if that's not enough to convince you, knowing you're getting it at 47% off this configuration (32 GB of memory, 512 SSD of storage) might be enough to click add to cart. Note the coupon code for this deal is THINKAUGSALE3 and should appear automatically when you add to cart.
Lenovo makes a number of ThinkPads, so Senior Editor Matt Elliot had his hands full when deciding which of these was really the best ThinkPad ultraportable. He chose the ThinkPad z13 Gen 2, for numerous outstanding qualities including an AMD processor, generous touchpad, keyboard quality and overall high-end construction. He also notes some design departures from other ThinkPads, including the switch from two mouse buttons above the touchpad. "Instead of physical buttons, a narrow top portion of the touchpad acts as mouse buttons for the pointing stick."
