Weighing only 980 grams and measuring a mere 8.08 mm at its thinnest point, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition is officially the lightest version in the ThinkPad X1 Carbon lineup.

Additionally, with HDR True Black 500 technology and 400 nits brightness, users can expect high contrast and vibrant colors, even in bright environments.
The laptop includes Eyesafe technology to reduce blue light exposure, making it easier on the eyes during extended use.
For power, the 57Whr replaceable battery delivers up to 18 hours of usage on a single charge, allowing users to work through the day without worrying about finding a power outlet.
