Lenovo Introduced the ThinkPad X1 Carbon back in May, now
the device is in the U.S. and will reportedly be available for purchase within
the month of August. The slick piece of
hardware is claiming to be the "World's Lightest 14-inch Professional Ultrabook".
Breaking away from the traditional Lenovo look, the Carbon
X1 is a sight to behold. While it still has the sturdy ThinkPad roll cage that
we have come to expect from Lenovo it's composed of carbon fiber, helping the
machine to stay true to its claim as the lightest Ultrabook at 3 pounds.
