How would this one compare with lenovo x1 carbon with same ssd/ i7 config?

Last I checked, Lenovo does not sell the Carbon with a config that includes Iris Graphics, nor do they come with RAID 0 SSD's. I'm a big fan of Lenovo products, own a T400s, 410s, and 420s. But in my opinion, the x1 is less capable by comparison. Last, if you're considering multi-monitor configurations, I have several clients that own the X1, all of whom have struggled with DisplayLink issues when connecting to the USB3 Dock.

ASUS Zenbook did not work. I returned it. I got a lenovo i7 and like it a lot. But I do not know if it is X1. It is not with me at this time.

My X1 carbon laptop came with Windows 7 Pro 64 bits pre-installed + a windows 8 (can't remember which version) CD

You know that is a excellent question. All the specs on different websites say it has a 500Gb HDD with a 32GB SSD hybrid. Although when I search through my system properties I do not see the 32GB partition listed. Do you know exactly how I would know? I would think that the model numbers specs would be universal.

If the model numbers posted are the same there is no difference other than price. Both are XE700T1C-A01US. (the other models will be A0xUS -- pro versus normal windows, more memory, larger SSD and different accessories)

The bag is designed to carry 15.4-inch laptops. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon, a 14-inch laptop, will fit just fine.

I apologize for the late reply. I use this product for ThinkPad X1 Carbon(20A70047JP).

So far it has been a great laptop, I preferred Windows 7 and it was configured with this version. I had a HP laptop and this one seems solid, besides the HP motherboard died after about a year and a key broke. It's fast, I'm not a gamer so if this is your main hobby I have no idea what it will do.

It runs Minecraft quite well for my son at full settings. It ran even better with the addition of 4GB of RAM. For me mass Exports in Lightroom of RAW files with parameter changes goes much quicker than with my Lenovo X1 Carbon with i5.

The ram is soldered down so that amount you get is what you're stuck with. You can upgrade the hard drive and replace it with a solid state drive which makes the device faster, specifically the boot up time. I bought this laptop for my mom and replaced the hard drive with a Samsung 840 SSD with no issues. A SSD will also keep internal temperatures lower since the memory is flash (like your thumb drive/usb stick) vs. a hard drive which has moving parts.

To be honest I prefer the i7 but it depends on which it is I have an ideapad. It has i5.but it's maxed out at only 4 gigs

Mine is an XPS15 / 9530, CPU is an I7-4702HQ running at 2.20GHz, 500GB SSD, 16GB DDR3. Native display resolution is 3200x1800 -- absolutely gorgeous. The vast majority of the apps I use are fully supported in this resolution and look great. So far, only the Foxit PDF suite doesn't "know" how to scale properly. Movies look great, the laptop boots in seconds, is extremely fast -- beautiful form factor. I've had this for several months, use many hours every day, and take it on planes twice a week. Very happy with the choice -- best machine I've owned.

The main difference is the size of the SSD -- AB71 is 128GB and DB71 is 256 GB

This particular device works very well with Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. I have the Lenovo X1 Carbon running Windows 8.1 and the device is automatically detected. Windows USB driver are installed instantly. It's important to know that the Lenovo Portable DVD burner uses two USB slots to work, but it comes with the required cables. You should not have any problems.

There is no reason not to get this computer, well, Win8 isn't as smooth as Win7, but really ASUS didn't do that. Ok, so, The i5 S56CA, it has an Optical Drive, big plus in the Ultrabook category. It has a top of the line WiFi card. Some people freak out about the 'chiclet' style keyboard, then they use it a bit and realize they like it. Honestly, the only thing I would change, will change, is the HDD to a SDD. At this price point you are getting a lot, a fast drive is not one of those things. They put the 5400 rpm spinner in to save battery life, an SSD costs more than this HDD but will save even more battery since there are no moving parts in a SSD. Yada, yada, You won't go wrong, unless you are a gamer, in which case the HD4000 will not stand up to the rigors of today's games and their intensive graphics. Writing papers and doing research? I don't see anything keeping you from that.

This absolutely will NOT work in an X1 Carbon. The Carbon uses the M.2/NGFF type SSD drive, not mSATA. There is an M.2 version, but it costs more.

Well, I haven't used for both as yet.But I would say, take Lenovo.. that's better anytime.. Even HP is better than this laptop. I took this because it had an SD Card Slot + a DVD Player and Windows 8 and I7 Intel Processor with 8GB RAM and 1TB of Hard Drive Memory and it was cheap at Amazon for all these features.But the handling of the computer is not smooth.. Also no touch screen.. The laptop restarts every now and then....

You can expand up to 8. 4 is good, out of the box. The laptop really works well when you pop in a SSD. That's what we do and we are very happy with the performance. Hope this helps.
