Building high business protection?Analysis of the 60 -day experience of ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2022

For a long time, ThinkPad once firmly occupied the tower of the high -end business market tower with a strong body and reliability, but with the emergence of strong products such as the Dell XPS series and MacBook Pro /Air, ThinkPad urgently needed to launch with them The product competed, and the ThinkPad X1 Carbon series came into being. Today, after the birth of the first generation of ThinkPad X1 Carbon, it has passed for ten years. Can the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2022 set up the name of a business flagship? In the experience of more than 60 days, I have a lot of unhappy experiences about this ten -year -old business book.

It changed, but it didn't seem to change completely

The changes in the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2022 and the previous generation products have to start with its packaging. In addition to the conventional recyclable yellow board box carton, the packaging of the laptop in the internal loading is also made of PAP21 specifications of recycled paper, and even the lining machine protective film is replaced from the most conventional plastic film to paper materials. This time, this time Lenovo was regarded as a call for dual -carbon reduction with actual actions.

If you focus on the product itself, it is not difficult to find that ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2022 basically continues the design of the previous generation. In fact, this is not surprising. After all, the appearance of the previous generation of products has ushered in a reborn upgrade. The old Lenovo Logo has been returned, carbon fiber materials upgraded by A -side upgrade, A/C surface skin -like coating upgrade, etc. These upgrades are all the result of meticulous polishing of the mold. For laptop products, it is excellent enough to be excellent enough It doesn't seem to be an exaggeration to use the mold for a year, right? This time, Lenovo also provided two types of coloring two types of immersive black and black. The former is more like the old look of traditional ThinkPad. The latter has a grid texture unique to carbon fiber. Taking into account the restrained (tradition) and Zhang Yang (technology).

However, although Lenovo claims that ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2022 A side uses aerospace -grade carbon fiber shell materials, which can be lighter and thinner, but also improves the rigidity of the fuselage. However, in the process of using these two months, I found that I found Some traces of use can be visible to the naked eye on this fuselage A side. They look like corroded by some liquids. I can't even verify how these use traces are generated. After all, the "worth" of its tens of thousands of yuan is in front of it.

In my cognition, the high -end ThinkPad made of aluminum alloy materials in the past seems to be as weak as the current X1 Carbon series. While ensuring the rigidity of the fuselage, at least the scratch resistance of the A side should be guaranteed. However, it is undeniable that I still like the status indicator of the ThinkPad Logo on the A side. I can distinguish whether the machine is in the open/shutdown state through the "i".

Similarly, after opening the A side of the notebook, the screen view of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2022 does not seem to move me. If the high screen ratio is not necessarily conducive to the development of various business scenarios, then it has only 300nit brightness. It seems that something is contrary to wishes. Even if the external screen uses a fog surface anti -glare, it is difficult to ensure the picture of the picture in the outdoor of a slightly slightly light light.

Of course, considering that this 14 -inch screen from AUO has a resolution of 2240X1400, with 100% SRGB color gamut, 1500: 1 contrast, and hardware low blue light technology, the perception of the indoor environment is actually acceptable. For those potential consumers who have higher requirements for the screen quality, Lenovo has long thought about countermeasures, because this year's X1 Carbon also provides an additional 2.8k OLED 400 Nit highlight screen and 4K 500 Nite ultra -high brightness. A high -quality version is available for users to choose from. Look, this is probably the power of money. Having said that, the higher -specification screen is not disadvantaged, because the higher resolution screen has an additional burden on the battery life of the laptop.

In addition to the external factors floating on the surface, buying the user group that buy ThinkPad, the most important thing is naturally the product's productivity advantage, because the changes in ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2022 are mainly concentrated in the inner upgrade. Next To share the expressiveness of the model in productivity.

Da Yin in the city is the focus and persistence of productivity

When it comes to the inherent impression of ThinkPad's efficient productivity, it is largely derived from its unique Trackpoint small red dot and three -key combination. These two features have also been continued in X1 Carbon 2022. In addition to continuing the classic keyboard and touchpad layout, Lenovo's proud smile -type keycap design also appeared here. With a larger area advantage than ordinary keycaps, this keycap can be with the abdomen. There is a greater contact between the stickers, thereby improving the purpose of effective output. With a good return texture, it can meet the text workers who have high -efficiency output for text. However, for users who have just started this set of keyboards, the more dense keys spacing has the probability of reducing the cutting of the next button by mistake. For old ThinkPad users, the continuation of Trackpoint small red dot and three -key combinations can meet their own habits. However, if you are more inclined to use the touchpad of the notebook for systematic interactive operation, then the size of the X1 Carbon 2022 has a little bit of the taste of the virtuous road, because its touchpad area is more than the same -level products of the same level. It is necessary to be small. After all, the existence of the physical three -key combination is to occupy a certain touchpad area, not to mention that the FN key of this notebook is placed in the lower left corner of the uncommon left, and it is easy to confuse it with the CTRL at the beginning. From this point, it is not difficult to see that in fact, ThinkPad is more inclined to take care of the output experience of old users in the input part, or it can be understood that they want to cultivate a new loyal user group through similar differentiated designs. No wonder, some fans even bluntly said, "Isn't ThinkPad selling the keyboard?"

In addition to the conventional business laptop configuration such as keyboard backlight, because the screen axis characteristics can bring an exaggerated 180 ° opening and closing angle, cater to the content sharing of content sharing and connecting the screen during the meeting. Details of business practicality of the laptop. At the same time, the screen shaft damping texture of the machine can also achieve conventional one -handed opening and closing to improve the opening/turn -off computer efficiency that needs to be faced when one -handed holder. This is a quality that high -end laptops should have.

If the above advantages are just icing on the cake, then this feature to be shared next may be the key element of this laptop to enhance competitiveness. For a model equipped with the X86 architecture, it even provides an independent LTE communication module. In the era when Volkswagen can no longer be separated from the Internet, it can enjoy a free domestic network traffic package with 180GB a year (15GB per month), allowing users to enjoy it. Interconnection, online experience at any time. However, in the actual application scenario, in the face of poor network signals, you can clearly feel that the LTE module position occasionally occasionally accumulates. In this state of long -term Consumption.

For the performance reserve of the core component, the machine is equipped with the i7-1260P processor in the Twelve Generation Core processor family of Intel Mobile. The processor, the processor is designed based on a hybrid architecture created by the 10nm Intel 5 process process. The performance core of the performance of the performance of the core of the performance can reach 4.7GHz. There is a certain gap between the 45W power consumption of the device.

By using a professional processor running software Cinebench R23 test, it is ensured that the machine's multi -core running score can reach 7914PTS in the highest performance and plug -in state, while the single -core running score is 1402PTS, as a result A non -standard pressure processor is still considerable, but there is still a certain gap with the standard pressure processor of the same period. If the relatively "moderate" performance does not bring me much surprise, then the tranquility of this model in high load is to give me an unexpected surprise. Models, but can be comparable to the quiet work ability of no active heat dissipation models, and to a large extent, they welcome those users who are relatively harsh on noise. As for heat dissipation efficiency? It seems that ThinkPad doesn't care about this.

Although this is a light -driven model driven by integrated graphics card, it still uses a 3DMark to test the performance of the Intel Rui Torch XE G7 core display. This is an integrated graphics card with 96EU and 768 stream processors. In the face In Time SPY's testing scene, the measured score is 1489 points. When facing some low -oriented games, you can exchange the smoothness of the game screen by reducing the quality of the picture. Do not expect to use it to use it with 3A masterpieces.

At the same time, maybe considering the high attention of business people in data security, X1 Carbon 2022 In addition to adding physical switches and power bonds for integrated fingerprint recognition modules for the camera, it also launched a set of intelligent and hardware -driven intelligence -driven intelligence. System -Computer Vision wisdom sensing system. Although "the best technology is that you can't feel the existence of technology." The system needs to be opened manually, and multiple functions need to be opened independently. The specific operations need to pass the "Lenovo Computer Manager" program that comes with the factory, select "Practical Tools", and then enter the "intelligent perception" in the third -level menu. The corresponding function is turned on in the function. It does not rule out that some users do not understand the existence of these functions until the end of the life cycle is over.

So is this COMPUTER VISION Wise Eye SMS function easy to use? During the two -month use process, I think that X1 Carbon 2022 relies on the independent infrared camera + infrared camera automatic login software algorithm, which does greatly improve the efficiency of users to quickly unlock the computer. This is an indisputable fact. However, the relatively convenient unlocking method also means that sometimes the probability of accidental unlocking will also coexist. Occasionally, after the Windows button+ L combination key lock screen, the face recognition will also be misunderstood without the cover. The situation is just because you look at it.

In addition, another "automatic lock screen" function is to optimize the battery life. It can identify whether there are users in front of the computer, and then intelligently reduce the screen brightness or enter the standby state to achieve power saving. Effectively improving the battery life of the machine, I personally feel that it is relatively practical in actual use. Mentioning the battery life, through the use of professional testing software PCMARK 10 tests, the actual measurement is set at 40% of the power and 20% volume settings. The actual battery life of the modern office testing scenario is 7 hours and 37 minutes, and the performance is not dazzling.

As mentioned just now, this year's ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2022 uses the mold of the previous generation, so its body thickness still remains at 14.9mm, but the weight drops from 1.13kg to 1.12kg. It can only be said that the weight decreases slightly slightly slightly. However, the difference in perception of the actual weight of the two can basically be ignored. It is undeniable that the ThinkPad X1 Carbon series has largely catered to the needs of the pursuit of thin and light fuselage business.

Continuous innovation has become an indispensable spoon of broken break

In the era when major Internet mobile phones are in intelligent empowerment through diversified equipment ecology, ThinkPad is still too weak for the construction of the ecological chain. The blessing of the inductive system still lacks some "nirvana" that is unique. Of course, it is undeniable that the LTE communication module provided separately can to a large extent to alleviate my Internet needs in the outdoor environment, but for the user group with sufficient mobile phone traffic, this characteristic will not bring them too much attractiveness to them Essence

Through the 60 -day use experience, you can feel that the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2022 is a solid high -end business book. It continues the consistent ultimate business concentration characteristics of the Little Black family. The high -end positioning of this product, and the higher entry threshold has made many people discourage it. So the question is, would you still choose it if you re -give me a chance? I think it may be swaying between it and MacBook Air.
