Question 1

Hi,  Does this computer have an Ethernet port?  Also, it isnt stated in the description but it appears from the photos that there are only 2 USB ports.  Could that be right?

Accepted Answer

This series does not come with an ethernet port, or any straightforward video ports.  It has (3) USB ports one of which is a combo eSATA port that I wouldn't suggest using as a USB port so theoretically (2) ports.  If you want to use a hard line ethernet port here's what I ordered that worked perfectly fine... (1) USB to Ethernet Port - Newegg Item #N82E16812191163, (1) Lenovo MiniDisplay Port to DVI-D Adapter which you will need to run HDMI or DVI out of the laptop... Newegg Item #N82E16812891008.  I've been selling and repairing IBM and Lenovo's for years, this laptop and the Ultrabook line is the best product they have put out in a good 5 years.  Quality is right there with the old Thinkpad generation.  Good Luck!

Question 2

What is the weight?
Please compare to X1 Carbon 3444F9U, which appears to be discontinued.
Can I get a 3-year onsite warranty?

Accepted Answer

Hi Susan, I bought my Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon last November and absolutely love it! It is so slim and functional. I'm not sure of the exact weight, but I can easily carry it one-handed from one room into the other. The other thing I love about it is the longer-life battery than what I had in my previous ultrabook (a Dell model). This really is the most ideal notebook I've ever owned and that's saying a lot! I have my own PR company and I'm on the move constantly ... it is central command for my business. It's never given me a minute's worry. Sturdy, rugged and dependable. Know you will love it too. Best wishes, Grace
