Arguably one of the best business laptops on the market, Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 is now discounted by 50 percent. The Gen 10 version of Lenovo's laptop retains the slim and ultraportable laptop design of prior generations but comes with Intel's 12th Gen mobile Core processors. One downside is the battery. While the Gen 10 model delivers meaningful performance improvements with Intel's silicon, it is hampered by a significant reduction in battery life compared to the prior Gen 9 model, as we noted in our review.
The ThinkPad also offers durability boosts like a spill-resistant keyboard, MIL-SPEC 810H certification, and upgradeable and repairable internal components. A few of the notebook's configurations are currently on sale for half off their original retail price:
- ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 with Core i5-1240P processor for $1,200 with coupon code BYOTHINKP2023 (was $1,399) at Lenovo: Configuration includes Intel 12th Gen Core i5 processor with integrated Iris Xe graphics, 8GB of LPDDR5 memory, 256GB of solid-state storage, and a 14-inch WUXGA non-touch display with 400 nits of brightness.
- ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 with Core i7-1260P processor for $1,565 with coupon code X1CARBONG10DEAL (was $3,129) at Lenovo: This upgraded configuration of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon comes with a more powerful 12th Gen Intel Core i7 chip but retains the same integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics.
