PC manufacturer Lenovo has added the Windows 8 touch experience to the Ultrabook design in the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch.
The Thinkpad X1 Carbon and X1 Carbon Touch are developed from lightweight carbon fiber and are designed to “deliver durability and the highest levels of performance,” according to a Lenovo press release submitted to ChannelPro-SMB.
“Bringing touch gesture control to our ThinkPad is a natural evolution of the portfolio and a big step towards fulfilling our promise to bring computers into a new PC Plus era,” says Peter Hortensius, Lenovo’s product group president.
Specs & Features
Weighing in at 3.4 pounds and just 20.8mm thin, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Touch is constructed with carbon fiber material designed to provide “strength and durability beyond traditional notebook materials,” the press release states. Users are enabled with a 10-finger, multi-gesture touch interface on a 14-inch HD+ display.
