Introduction

NO SCRIMPING ON PORTS
Tips the Scales on Features — Not Weight
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition weighs less than a kilogram, so you can manage it with one hand — and open it easily with one finger. But the best part? This super-thin laptop includes lots of connectivity options to hook up a monitor, quickly charge other devices, transfer files, and even plug in a headset if you’re old school.

WORK ON YOUR TERMS
Powered From Dallas to Dubai
Enjoy amazing performance efficiency with extended battery life to power through your day — and night — or a flight from Dallas to Dubai. Don’t worry about having to plug in. But when you do need more juice, the GaN charger saves power and charges up to four times faster than a conventional AC adapter.

MULTIDEVICE SYNC
Just Tap to Connect
Smart Share connects your smartphone to your laptop instantly via an AI virtual sensor. Just tap your Android™ or iOS device to your laptop — then drag and drop. Edit photos and share easily. Plus access and send text messages from your PC. Phone sold separately.

LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT
Efficient Inside, Recycled Outside
This X1 Carbon is even better than previous generations when it comes to sustainability, featuring energy efficient certifications and 100% plastic-free packaging that’s Forest Stewardship Council® certified. It’s comprised of recycled carbon fiber, recycled magnesium, and recycled plastic—and several components use low temperature soldering*.

KISS YOUR MOUSE GOODBYE
Haptic TouchPad or Glass TrackPad
Our ThinkPad keyboard improves accessibility with tactile markings. The glass TrackPad or haptic TouchPad, along with our iconic red TrackPoint provide navigation — and with a double tap on the latter, a quick menu opens to optimize audio-video settings and even take notes with the Dictation Toolbar for handy speech-to-text transcription.

PRIVACY & PROTECTION
Security Like Your Business Depends On It
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon, Lenovo Aura Edition boasts multilevel security. ThinkShield, our comprehensive suite of security solutions, boasts discrete Trusted Platform Module to safeguard critical data with encryption. Biometrics provide extra protection too. With Intel® Core™ Ultra, you get AI-enhanced threat detection and defense — even below the OS.

THINKPAD TOUGH
When Reliability Isn’t Optional
We use the US Department of Defense MIL-STD-810H for a balance of reliability and durability in ThinkPad laptops. Meeting or exceeding 12 standards, 26 procedures, and 200+ quality checks ensure these devices run in extreme conditions, including harsh variables like Arctic wilderness, desert dust storms, extreme temps, pressure, vibration, and more.
