In our Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 review, we praised its slim, lightweight design, bright 14-inch display and class-leading keyboard. We were also impressed by its solid quad-speakers and gave it a rare 5 out of 5-star rating and our esteemed Editor’s Choice award. In one test, the laptop quickly loaded 20 tabs in Microsoft Edge, including two pairs of YouTube and Twitch streams without stuttering. It also lasted 15 hours and 39 minutes on our Laptop Mag Battery Test of continuous web browsing at 150 nits over Wi-Fi. Our review unit had an 11th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU and 16GB of RAM. You can expect the laptop in this deal to deliver fast and seamless performance on par with Intel’s latest 11th Gen chipset. Like all ThinkPads, the X1 Carbon Gen 9 is built to military-grade specifications. That means it withstands high altitudes, subzero temperatures, drops and spills.
