Tom's Guide Verdict

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 Aura Edition is a great laptop for work. It pairs an absurdly light chassis with a best-in-class keyboard, a vivid OLED display, and an internal design that you can actually access. It's expensive, but if you want one of the better business ultraportables on the market, this is it.

Reasons to buy

+ Unbelievably light

+ Best-in-class keyboard

+ Vivid and bright OLED display

+ Surprisingly excellent speakers

+ "Space Frame" chassis design allows for internal repairs and swaps

Reasons to avoid

- Quite expensive, especially with maxed-out specs

- Integrated graphics are a bit limiting

- Battery life is just okay
