You'll forget you're carrying Lenovo's featherweight ThinkPad X1 Nano, but you'll enjoy every minute of using this extreme ultralight.

Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Nano has the core features of the ThinkPad line as well as some tweaks to keep it current in today’s market. It’s lightweight and functional, but it won’t be everyone’s top choice.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Nano features amazing battery life and a gorgeous display packed into a lightweight design, but it’s pricey and skimps on ports.

The sheer portability of this Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is amongst the best out there.  This is not only super light, but also well built – a combination rarely found.  It’s also very quiet and a fine performer when running light tasks such as web surfing and typical office apps. This is nonetheless low-power laptop, though, and won't last for very long on a charge either, due to its small battery. But if you're looking for a lighweight daily driver and aim for a mid-level configuration, this might be a fair-value option for you.

If you're sold on the ThinkPad looks, ergonomics, and particularities, you're fine with a minimalist IO and a peculiar keyboard layout, and only plan on running light tasks on your computer, then this ThinkPad X1 Nano ultrabook could be right for you. On the other hand, there are quite a few other lightweight 13-inch laptops out there that perform better in sustained loads, offer better inputs and IO, and sell for less.

The X1 Nano is one of the better ultrabooks of this generation and the ThinkPad to go for if you're after an ultralight format that doesn't skimp on the ThinkPad design and ergonomics cores. The compact format, the 16:10 matte display, and especially the sub-1kilo total weight are its main selling points, but for these, you'll have to slightly compromise on the top-performance, configurability, IO, and the typing experience when compared to some of the other 2021 ThinkPads, as well as accept to pay a slight premium for the higher-specced X1 Nano configurations.
