Description
NO SCRIMPING ON PORTS
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition weighs less than a kilogram, so you can manage it with one hand — and open it easily with one finger. But the best part? This super-thin laptop includes lots of connectivity options to hook up a monitor, quickly charge other devices, transfer files, and even plug in a headset if you’re old school.
WORK ON YOUR TERMS
Enjoy amazing performance efficiency with extended battery life to power through your day — and night — or a flight from Dallas to Dubai. Don’t worry about having to plug in. But when you do need more juice, the GaN charger saves power and charges up to four times faster than a conventional AC adapter.
The Cure for Pre-Meeting Panic

Fend Off Lurkers
When you’re finalizing a project at your favorite café, Shield Mode has you covered. It deploys AI computer vision technology to warn you if someone is looking over your shoulder, then blurs the screen for unwanted shoulder surfers, and automatically prompts your VPN.
Good Health Starts With Alerts
When you’re putting in long days and late nights, Wellness Mode has your back. It adjusts settings to ease eyestrain and uses computer vision AI to assess your posture and how long you’ve been looking at your display — and then warns you if you’re hunched over or need to take a break.
Power Mode
When it’s time to get things done, Attention Mode silences notifications and blocks distracting websites so you can focus on what really matters. And it puts you in control, as you choose what sites to block and for how long.
Wellness Mode
Whether you’re dialed in to a meeting or closing up your laptop to stash in your bag, Power Mode automatically optimizes settings to deliver performance when you need it and longer battery life when you don’t.

KISS YOUR MOUSE GOODBYE
Our ThinkPad keyboard improves accessibility with tactile markings.
