Lenovo today updated their complete ThinkPad Laptop lineup including X, T and L series with new Ivy Bridge processors, but the most interesting Laptop in the announcement was ThinkPad X1 Carbon Ultrabook. The X1 is the lightest 14-inch Ultrabook available, but as Lenovo points out it’s not light on performance, and features 3rd generation Intel Core i7 processor along with Solid State Drive (SSD) for almost instant responsiveness. Lenovo describes the laptop as:

Created for those who demand the highest levels of performance, mobility, entertainment and design, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon exceeds Ultrabook specifications by using a premium carbon fiber rollcage to create a durable Ultrabook weighing less than three pounds. Other premium features include 3G connectivity for anywhere anytime access, Lenovo RapidCharge for a near-full battery charge in 30 minutes, and Intel vPro technology for manageability.

“We crafted the ThinkPad X1 Carbon with premium carbon fiber material in order to make it incredibly thin and light, yet durable,” said Lu Yan, senior vice president, Think Product Group, Lenovo. “Our new ThinkPad laptop portfolio embodies much of the innovative thinking exemplified in the X1 Carbon, such as a backlit keyboard, super-bright high definition display, Dolby Home Theatre and rich communications features that balance business performance with personal use.”

Lenovo will start shipping the ThinkPad X1 carbon Ultrabook this summer. No word on price yet, but from the design and specifications we would say that it will be a premium product. You can get more information about the laptop on Lenovo’s website.
