The top lid of the TP25 actually has a stronger rubber coating than the X1C - softer and less slippery. The palmrest is the same rubbery texture, and the trackpad is the same glass one. The TP25 uses the form factor of T470, but most of the case materials of the X1C.
The TP25, at 1.68kg, suddenly seemed like a total behemoth compared to the 1.12kg X1C, which is also shorter and narrower, for the same 14" LCD! No longer does the X1C feel like an incremental step down from a 14" slim-T, where you might wonder if the weight/thickness reduction is worth it - this is an entirely different laptop, with the best screen-size to size/weight ratio seen on a Thinkpad in years, if not ever. This 5th gen is the first one where the X1C was given a significant redesign, shrinking in all dimensions (most noticeable are the small screen bezels) and dropping a lot in weight. The smaller pictures can be clicked for larger versions.Īs soon as I got the X1C, I immediately fell in love with the form factor. Of course, since the TP25 is essentially a T470 with a 7-row keyboard, the review is applicable to T470 vs X1C as well. Having bought my personal Thinkpad 25 ( TP25), I was given an X1 Carbon 5th Gen ( X1C5) at my workplace, and I've been working with both, which allowed me to compare them quite extensively some of the folks who joined later got X1 Carbon 6th Gen ( X1C6) machines, which are very similar but different in some key aspects, so I figured I can include it in this survey as well.īecause of the similarities between the 5th and 6th gen X1C (it's basically the same design), one can assume that every time I mention "X1C", it refers to both systems, but I will mention meaningful differences when they exist.
