The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a well-built laptop that feels great in hand. Windows 10 Hello support is provided by a match-on-sensor fingerprint reader. The touchpad is large enough and as a Microsoft Precision laptop has reliable and precise support for the full gamut of Windows 10 multitouch gestures.
