Welcome to our CES 2019 coverage! As usual, one of the biggest consumer technology shows takes place in Las Vegas, Nevada and we’re here covering everything we can! Lenovo is kicking our CES 2019 off with some new ThinkPad and ThinkVision hardware so let’s dive right in and see what’s new!

Lenovo is incredibly proud of its ThinkPad line of laptops and we’ve also been very impressed over the years. This year, the company is refining their already impressive ThinkPad X1 Carbon 7th Gen and ThinkPad X1 Yoga 4th Gen. Both of these laptops are already amazing pieces of gear but Lenovo has dove in deeper to make the experience better.

The company is also opening the can on a brand new ThinkVision display. The ThinkVision P44w is a massive 43.4″ widescreen HD display with nearly no bezels. Before we dive into the details, here are some highlights from the announcements made today:

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 7th Gen

One of the big changes for the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 7th Gen at CES 2019 is the availability of a visible carbon fiber weave top cover. While Lenovo has constructed the device from carbon fiber, it was never visible. Now it is, but will only be available on the premium model with UHD 4K Dolby Vision HDR display as an option. Here are more highlights on the X1 Carbon followed by its specifications:
