Why Choose This Product?


NO SCRIMPING ON PORTS

The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition weighs less than a kilogram, so you can manage it with one hand — and open it easily with one finger. But the best part? This super-thin laptop includes lots of connectivity options to hook up a monitor, quickly charge other devices, transfer files, and even plug in a headset if you’re old school.


WORK ON YOUR TERMS

Enjoy amazing performance efficiency with extended battery life to power through your day — and night — or a flight from Dallas to Dubai. Don’t worry about having to plug in. But when you do need more juice, the GaN charger saves power and charges up to four times faster than a conventional AC adapter.

Fend Off Lurkers

When you’re finalizing a project at your favorite café, Shield Mode has you covered. It deploys AI computer vision technology to warn you if someone is looking over your shoulder, then blurs the screen for unwanted shoulder surfers, and automatically prompts your VPN.


The Cure for Pre-Meeting Panic

Suddenly time for a remote meeting? No problem! Collaboration Mode calibrates your camera for you, sets your preferred backgrounds effects, launches autoframing, and more. Additionally, it uses computer vision AI features to enhance your webcam experience in low-light conditions and over environments.


Power Mode

When it’s time to get things done, Attention Mode silences notifications and blocks distracting websites so you can focus on what really matters. And it puts you in control, as you choose what sites to block and for how long.


Wellness Mode

Whether you’re dialed in to a meeting or closing up your laptop to stash in your bag, Power Mode automatically optimizes settings to deliver performance when you need it and longer battery life when you don’t.


Good Health Starts With Alerts

When you’re putting in long days and late nights, Wellness Mode has your back. It adjusts settings to ease eyestrain and uses computer vision AI to assess your posture and how long you’ve been looking at your display — and then warns you if you’re hunched over or need to take a break.

Plus, with the touch of a key, Copilot launches to help keep you ahead in fast-paced work environments.


LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT

This X1 Carbon is even better than previous generations when it comes to sustainability, featuring energy efficient certifications and 100% plastic-free primary packaging that’s Forest Stewardship Council certified. It’s comprised of recycled carbon fiber, recycled magnesium, and recycled plastic — and several components use low temperature soldering*.


*See Tech Specs for details.


KISS YOUR MOUSE GOODBYE

Our ThinkPad keyboard improves accessibility with tactile markings. The glass TrackPad or haptic TouchPad, along with our iconic red TrackPoint provide navigation — and with a double tap on the latter, a quick menu opens to optimize audio-video settings and even take notes with the Dictation Toolbar for handy speech-to-text transcription.


PRIVACY & PROTECTION

The ThinkPad X1 Carbon, Lenovo Aura Edition boasts multilevel security. ThinkShield, our comprehensive suite of security solutions, boasts discrete Trusted Platform Module to safeguard critical data with encryption. Biometrics provide extra protection too.

THINKPAD TOUGH

We use the US Department of Defense MIL-STD-810H for a balance of reliability and durability in ThinkPad laptops. Meeting or exceeding 12 standards, 26 procedures, and 200+ quality checks ensure these devices run in extreme conditions, including harsh variables like Arctic wilderness, desert dust storms, extreme temps, pressure, vibration, and more.
