The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 (14″ Intel) laptop still uses carbon fiber for the chassis — but better yet some of that carbon fiber is recycled from post-industrial remnants and is used along with 90% recycled magnesium. Plus, the chassis, the battery pack, the speaker enclosure, and the power adapter all include recycled post-consumer content. And we don’t stop there. The packaging is 100% plastic-free and comprised in part with rapid-renewable materials made from bamboo-sugar-cane fiber.

The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 boasts the world’s first laptop powered by Intel Core Ultra processors, making it ideal for creating and on-the-go productivity. Enjoy optimized performance with workloads pushed to dedicated AI engines, including the low-power neural processing unit (NPU) for sustained tasks and resiliant battery life. Go ahead, turn on auto-framing or low-light enhancement for your online meetings, even when unplugged! Choose the Intel vPro Evo Edition, for multilayer security, professional-grade performance, reliable stability, and complete management for IT.

A Communications Bar, positioned at the top of the display for easy laptop opening, houses two cameras (FHD / infrared (IR)) — or upgrade to the premium 8MP & IR Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) with Computer Vision — both options include a webcam privacy shutter. Additionally, two 360-degree mics with AI-based noise cancellation, combined with Dolby Voice and Dolby Atmos deliver a superb audio experience. Plus, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 is Zoom-certified. Make calls, listen to music, or watch a video and enjoy the sublime sounds.

Our redesigned ThinkPad keyboard now includes tactile markings to help people with visual impairments more easily find the correct keys. We’ve moved the fingerprint reader to the keyboard, resulting in a larger sensor for a better experience. Plus, our TrackPad is even larger now, at 120mm / 4.72″. Our beloved red TrackPoint still lets you navigate — but with a double tap, it opens the ThinkPad TrackPoint Quick Menu to optimize audio-visuals, set alerts against muting, and even take notes with the Dictation Toolbar for handy speech-to-text transcription.

Razor-thin bezels frame a stunning 14″ 2.8K OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate.
