CNET reviewed the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 laptop like this:

The good: Thin and sturdy with a rock-solid feel and clean design, the ThinkPad X1 stands out from other ThinkPads. Its backlit keyboard, fast Core i5 CPU, fast-charging battery, and low-light Webcam are also pluses.

The bad: The integrated battery doesn’t last as long as we would expect, and the Gorilla Glass-covered screen produces a lot of glare. For a thin laptop, the X1 isn’t as lightweight as it could be, thanks to its dense construction.

The bottom line: The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 is the thinnest ThinkPad ever made, and it’s a slim, cleanly designed 13-incher worth a look for business travelers–but it’s not as thin as a MacBook Air, and its battery life isn’t as good, either.

Some say Lenovo Thinkpad X1 is a killer to MacBook Air, it’s quite reasonable, it’s thin, light, and powerful, just like MacBook Air, actually, it’s definitely a strong competitor to MacBook Air.

The laptop feels rather nice in the hand, thanks to Lenovo’s classic Thinkpad soft-touch finish on the lid and base. Its thinness makes it easy to grip, and weighing in at gram over 1.7kg it’s light enough to carry around all day. Just wonderful.
