It hasn't gotten Intel's 11th Generation "Tiger Lake" processors yet, but there's no more desirable ultraportable than Lenovo's 2.4-pound ThinkPad X1 Carbon.

The X1 Yoga Gen 8's display may be the right size for a business two-in-one, but the display options Lenovo offers for it take an all-or-nothing approach that skips the sweet spot for a 14-inch panel.

All told, this machine is near identical to the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11, for about $100 extra.I'm personally on the fence as to whether the 2-in-1 design is worth it, but if there's room ...

If you like the Carbon but want a flip-and-fold convertible laptop, your Lenovo of choice is the ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 8 (starts at $1,456.95; $2,126.04 as tested).
