Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 i5-1145G7 16GB 512GB Touchscreen laptop

ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 14.0" touchscreen

This 14.0 inch touchscreen laptop ships new with Windows 11 Pro and an Intel Core i5-1145G7 processor running at 2.60 GHz. It includes 16GB of memory and a 512GB NVMe solid-state drive. The HD panel refreshes at 60 Hz and supports wide-screen viewing. Integrated graphics handle the display output.

Single specification that decides fit: 16GB

The 16GB of RAM is not upgradeable, so buyers who need more memory for virtual machines or large datasets must choose a different system. The 512GB NVMe drive provides fast storage for applications and files. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.0, three USB 3.0 ports and one Thunderbolt 4 port. Gigabit LAN is also present.

Sustained-load behaviour with integrated graphics

Under continuous workloads the integrated graphics share system memory and thermal budget with the CPU, so extended rendering or heavy multitasking will throttle clock speeds. The 60 Hz HD screen remains stable for office applications and video playback. Fan noise increases during prolonged high utilisation. The included AC adapter keeps the battery charged during long sessions.
