With 10th Gen Intel® Core™ processors with up to 6 cores, the X1 Carbon Gen 8 is faster than ever no matter the task. And given that it’s certified by Intel® for mobile performance, it delivers long-lasting power and productivity when you’re on the go. Enjoy up to 18 hours* of battery life. And when you do need some juice, Rapid Charge boosts battery life to 80% in just an hour.

* Based on testing with MobileMark 2014. Battery life varies significantly with settings, usage, and other factors.

With always-on responsiveness, you can wake the X1 Carbon Gen 8 from sleep in less than a second—and be able to browse the web a second later. And with WiFi 6, you get fast and reliable connections, even on networks with lots of devices attached. Or choose the optional WWAN technology with LTE-A card and jump online with a secure connection just like a smartphone.

*WWAN must be configured at time of purchase, as it’s not upgradeable.
