Buying call

Buy the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 if you want a very light business laptop with a great keyboard: reviewers praised its OLED screen, sharp webcam, fast office performance and Space Frame design, which makes repairs easier, and one test ran past 25 hours. Skip it if you own a Gen 13, because it's no faster and one review measured shorter battery than last year. It's expensive, has no SD card slot, and one review noted no 16GB memory option.
