The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon business-class ultrabook, scheduled for release this summer, will sport a 14″ display, the Intel Ivy Bridge processor, and a very light and thin carbon-fiber body weighing 3 pounds and measuring 0.71 inches thick. That’s down from the already light and thin classic 13.3″ X1 ThinkPad’s 3.7 pounds and 0.84″. Besides the larger screen and thinner and lighter chassis, the X1 Carbon delivers improved screen resolution of 1600×900, up from 1366×768, as well as RapidCharge for fast battery recharges.

Lenovo Classic ThinkPad Laptop Keyboard

An old-school ThinkPad keyboard.
