It has been about 5 months since the 5th generation of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon (2017) was launched. Lenovo now starts to sell SKUs with the high-resolution WQHD screen as well. We have already reviewed two 2017 models and the two 1080p screens were decent, but some users might have been slightly disappointed considering the premium price tag.

Our test model today carries the designation ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2017-20HR006FG3 and currently retails for ~2000 Euros (~$2348). As well as the previously mentioned WQHD screen, you will get a Core i5 processor, 8 GB of RAM and a 512 GB PCIe-SSD. The high-resolution screen is a $100 upgrade in Lenovo's online store. We have already tested the 2017 X1 Carbon twice, so in this article we will focus on the new display and the effect on the battery runtime. All other information about the other sections are available in the following two articles:
