Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon line has been widely regarded as the company's flagship business-class laptop over the past few years. The previous model, which we poured over in deep-dive detail here, brought a new, more compact chassis design with it, along with thinner display bezels and a refresh of Intel's Kaby Lake mobile processor platform. There was one notable caveat with the previous-gen ThinkPad X1 Carbon, and it could have been a showstopper, depending on your perspective and use case. Last year's model was only available with a 1080p resolution, non-touch display, which could be an obvious shortcoming for content creation professionals, as well as crispy, high-res pixel snobs. Fortunately, however, Lenovo decided to change things up with its new ThinkPad X1 Carbon 6th Generation machine, which we previewed for you at CES 2018 earlier this year

The new ThinkPad X1 Carbon ups its display game dramatically versus last year's model. It now sports a 2560x1440p WQHD+ display option that supports 100% of the AdobeRGB color gamut and drives 500 nits of brightness, along with Dolby Vision HDR (High Dynamic Range) capability. So where the X1 Carbon may have left some pixel peepers flat last year, this year's model should have eyes a-poppin'. Couple its promised display brilliance, along with some nice internal upgrades like Intel's 8th Gen Kaby Lake R quad-core CPUs and some new fast NVMe SSD technology on board, and we may have some strong, ultralight mobile workhorse mojo going on here.
