Effortless connection with your phone

With Intel^® Unison™, you can put your laptop at the center of all that you do. Wirelessly connect your phone—either Android or iOS—to your ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 laptop. Transfer files quickly and easily, even edit your photos and videos seamlessly on the big screen. Make and answer calls directly from your PC, with full access to your phone’s contact list. You can even receive notifications on your laptop, as well as messaging. No need to switch devices when you can do it all in one place.

Bumps up the coolness factor

The legendary ThinkPad keyboard is designed for ergonomics and comfort—and part of that comfort means improved airflow. The underside of the keys facilitates air intake when in use. Combined with the dual fan and rear venting, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 notebook delivers improved thermals. So whether you’re powering through your day, or your night, or both, the ThinkPad X1 will stay as cool as you are.

Vibrant visuals that suit your needs

No matter how you look at it, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 laptop features stunning displays that meet your workday needs. Whether you require richly detailed graphics with super-high screen resolution, or extra security to combat prying eyes, we’ve got options for you. Ranging from a widescreen ultra extended graphics array (WUXGA) touchscreen to a 2.8K OLED display, to a WUXGA with ePrivacy, all of the 14ʺ panels feature a 16:10 aspect ratio with maximum screen real estate. What’s more, almost all selections include Eyesafe^® certification to reduce eye fatigue.

Security that works 24/7

Biometrics provide extra protection on the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 system—from the fingerprint reader integrated with the power button to the facial recognition software that works with the IR camera. ThinkShield, our comprehensive suite of security solutions, is integral to all our business laptops. Features like discrete Trusted Platform Module (dTPM) safeguard your critical data with encryption. Presence detection automatically locks your device when you move away, while the optional PrivacyGuard display prevents wandering eyes from seeing what’s on your screen.

Trusted ThinkPad quality

We use the US Department of Defense's MIL-STD 810H standards to create a balance of reliability and durability for our ThinkPad laptops. We test against 12 standards and more than 200 quality checks to ensure they run in extreme conditions. These tests cover harsh variables like Arctic wilderness and desert dust storms, including temperature, pressure, humidity, vibration, and more.

Feel good about the planet

At Lenovo, we take sustainability seriously. We’ve committed to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, making us the world’s first PC and smartphone maker and one of only 139 companies with a net-zero target validated by Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). For the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11, that means low-temp soldering and 90% recycled magnesium on the C cover. We use 98% post-consumer content (PCC) recycled plastic in the speaker enclosure, 25-30% PCC recycled plastic in the battery enclosure, and 90% PCC recycled plastic in the power adapter. Packaging is entirely plastic-free.

Zoom certification

Being Zoom certified means exceptional experiences under all the Zoom offerings. From meeting spaces and webinars to events and team chats. From booking conference rooms to sending email. From virtual customer service agents to driving loyalty and retention. From leveraging AI to mine customer conversations to delivering a platform for developers. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 raises the bar for interactions with Zoom One, Zoom Spaces, Zoom Contact Center, Zoom IQ for Sales, and Zoom Developers.

SPEAKING YOUR LANGUAGE

Every ASI Laptop is custom-configured by top Eclipse technicians with years of experience helping reporters just like you. They know what helps, what hurts, what makes your life easier, and what slows you down. Settings are optimized and reporter-specific. Bloatware is culled. Corporations pay PC manufacturers big money to overload your laptop with useless "free" trial software, creating an inefficient and confusing mess right out of the box. We trim it all and get your computer running at peak efficiency, so you hit the ground running.

THE NERDS YOU NEED

Our Eclipse techs know what reporters need, as they help them optimize their systems daily. They also know Eclipse like the backs of their hands, and put it and your PC in lockstep, like lifelong friends. Save yourself hours of confusing setup and transfer, as we pre-install Eclipse, transfer your settings, jobs, dictionaries, block files, the works. Windows is tweaked to optimum performance, all relevant apps are updated, and every chip and port is painstakingly inspected and tested. You also get a *free year of Searchmaster a $249 value, just for purchasing a laptop through Advantage Software.

CUSTOM POWER

Eclipse laptops are custom-tailored to your needs based on input type, work focus, and personal preference. Our techs will help you pick the right chipset, RAM, storage media, and accessories for your reporting style.

REMOTE CONTROL

More than ever, reporters are required to do their jobs remotely. We'll make sure your Zoom is installed and optimized. Grab one of our elite microphones for superior sound. Audio quality is key here, and we'll confirm that every channel rings clear as a bell, whether from across the state or the witness stand.

IF IT AIN'T BROKE, YOU WON'T HAVE TO FIX IT

Customers who purchase our laptops need less support, and spend less time troubleshooting because every setting and component is tweaked to perfection. We do the heavy lifting on our end, so you don’t have to.

Optional (+$199)

An entire backup of your new laptop drive, including the Custom Configuration we made for you AND your Eclipse files, are backed up to a 1 TB external hard drive.

Don’t be left in the lurch if your hard drive crashes, or if a forced Windows update leaves you scrambling for your settings, your apps, your marbles.  Pc makers don’t send “recovery disks” anymore and, let’s face it, most of us are never going to make one ourselves.  When we try, restore points never seem to work, and for the lucky few that can bend Windows “restore” to their will, we’re left with a criminally small amount of hard drive space. Advantage has you covered. Plug in this pre-configured 1tb external backup drive once weekly, and you’ll have a pristine restore point from your initial configuration, and automatic backups of all the work you’ve done in-between.  While keeping all that prime SSD real estate available for what’s important.  Your data.

2TB UPGRADE w/SPEEDS UP TO 7,300 MB/s

At Advantage Software, we believe in delivering nothing but the best. That's why our laptops are equipped with top-of-the-line SSD upgrades (optional), setting a new standard for speed, reliability, and performance.
