The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Nano is the lightest ThinkPad ever built
Yes, that is a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Nano in your laptop bag. You probably just didn't realize it because the laptop weighs barely two pounds.
The ThinkPad X1 Nano is officially the lightest ThinkPad ever built. Lenovo said it managed to squeeze the weight out of the Nano by using a combination of carbon fiber and magnesium-aluminum in the die-cast chassis. "New technology and materials" in the keyboard and cooler also shave off some ounces. The ThinkPad X1 Nano will be available before the end of the year with prices starting at $1,399.
Lightweight typically means less performance, but Lenovo taps Intel's new 11th-gen Tiger Lake CPU to power the ThinkPad X1 Nano. The company didn't say which specific chip, but it is a Core i7 with Iris Xe. That tells us the laptop's maximum of 16GB of LPDDR4X is configured for dual-channel, as you can't get get an Iris Xe badge without the higher-performance memory configuration.
