Just heard that this will be available November at a partner event.

Details? Specs?
-
if true, IPS screen with X1 carbon will become true too!
-
-
Sorry, but I have very few details. It will be the same form factor as the X1 Carbon (not like the twist), but will be slightly heavier (3.5 pounds) and a little thicker. The webinar from the event where they discussed this will be available shortly (see Live Webinars | LPN | (US)). The 8gb X1 Carbon will also be available later this month.
-
Thanks for the infos :thumbsup:
-
Thanks andrubuntu!
Should be a nice alternative for those that want the touch, but still have the X1 Carbon styling.
It might even interest me in canceling my X1 Carbon. On one hand, it could have a nicer IPS display. On the other, it's apparently heavier/thicker, and could be a gloss display. I'll wait to see more details. Anything on the refresh X1 Carbon with the i7/8GB and Win 8? -
There will be something called ThinkPad Helix coming out in the future (annonced in a Lenovo event in Shanghai last week Friday), which has i7 CPU, 1080p resolution IPS in 11.6 inch LCD, with pen digitiser and removable screen that doubles as a tablet (like Surface Pro?)... you didn't hear it from me obviously... LOL
-
this sounds interesting

-
The screen has glass surface so it is glossy. Just google for the picture.

thickness: 11mm (tablet part), up to 3rd i7, 11.6", IPS 1080p, digitizer pen, touch screen, touchpad, 10 hrs battery, NFC, 3G, with a lot of ports.
Seems this is the perfect one! -
The only thing I'd be interested in is the 1080p display then. I guess I'll have to wait and see....

Here are some slides where they discuss the X1 Carbon touch:

but very few details so far... -
I was working with a rep to replace my model with a Win 8 X1C, but now I might actually wait until the touch version. I'll wait to find out more information first though.
Edit: I'm not liking what I'm seeing here with the "Infinity Glass" from Lenovo. But then again, this is probably worst case scenario.

The X220 IPS is pretty nice otherwise. I just don't know what we'll get since it likely won't be an IPS display. I hope to find more out soon. -

In the picture it looks matte.
-
If one had to speculate, would the Touch use the same TFT display but use the Infinity Glass and digitizer as separate layered assembly? Also, what's the chances that the Touch uses an IPS panel that could be retrofitted to the plain Jane X1 Carbon? -
I'd say chances are high that the X1CT will offer an IPS panel. However, fitting it into the regular X1 Carbon might prove to be problem. After all, you would need to remove that glass first. Even if you are successful at that, I doubt it will fit properly. For all we know, being a Touchscreen and everything, it might be slighty heavier and thicker, therefore not being able to fit into the X1C.
-
It seems that X1 touch is different from the Thinkpad Helix, the former probably just has a touch screen, the latter is more like the Twist but comes with a stylus.
-
The Helix is much like the IdeaPad U1, featuring a dock which adds an i7 processor and makes a full laptop out of it. By removing it from the dock you get a normal Tablet, probably with NVIDIA Tegra.
-
-
Hm, I guess that's even better then.
-
With this model being released within the next few weeks, I'm surprised there hasn't been any official word about it with the launch of Windows 8. I guess they don't want to spill everything at once. I would at least like to know how the display is so I know whether to wait or get my replacement X1C ordered.
-
I want to know more about this. It's keeping me from hitting the trigger on an X1C.

Some of these makers might be waiting. I am surprised the X1 Carbon Touch wasn't on stage for the NYC Windows 8 launch event. They demo'd the X1 Carbon, but under the context that it was designed for Windows 7, but runs Windows 8 well.
The Yoga got a decent plug.
See http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/presskits/windows/liveevent.aspx -
Edit: Is it me or did Lenovo remove the X1C Touch information in the PDF from page 2 of this thread? I know you can find the slides posted on other sites, but I'm just hoping they didn't cancel the model or delay it. Hopefully it's just to prevent people from seeing it early. -

on the other hand, the thinkpad helix seems to be real now

Personally, i think the X1 Carbon with touchscreen is not very useful, so having it in the line up doesn't really do much for the X1 Carbon design. It is better that lenovo skipped X1C Touch and just move to the Helix.

Helix sounds awesome for a touch device, but that 11" screen is going to be "interesting" for legacy apps. -

I'm looking foward to the selection of 1920x1080 11" tablet/laptop hybrids. Very promising for high pixel-density fanatics like me
-
I have not seen this announced anywhere, but i have one ordered through work. Not sure if it has ips panel, but it has multitouch, i7 2GHz, 8Gb, 240Gb SSD
-
Is it already possible to order it? When will it released?
-
I have seen can order in December

According to our account rep, the screen is IPS. But they also said that for months leading up to the X1 Carbon launch and that ended up being false.
I don't think we'll know for sure until Lenovo ships the production units. Supposedly that was going to be December, but I would add the first order date + 60 days to be on the safe side. -
Hm, I don´t think it will take that long again. Most of the components are now widely available, as the normal X1 Carbon is.
