The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 is great for business use. It's very portable, and its battery lasts around ten hours of light use. Its 14-inch display looks sharp and is bright enough for well-lit settings. The keyboard feels comfortable to type on for extended periods, and the touchpad is small but responsive. Its Intel 13th Gen. CPU can easily handle productivity tasks like text processing, web browsing, spreadsheets, and presentations. It has an outstanding 1080p webcam for video calls and a wide port selection, including two Thunderbolt 4 and an HDMI port. The RAM isn't user-replaceable, so you need to get enough for your needs upfront.
