Gen9, which has improved usability by 16:10
The major change of ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen9, as mentioned at the beginning, is one of the 11th generation Core, and the other is a display aspect change.
As represented by full HD (1,920 x 1,080 dots) and 4K (3,840 x 2,160 dots), the standard display is currently 16: 9.On the other hand, it was 16:10 that was adopted in X1 Carbon Gen9.The 1,920 x 1200 dots panels were mounted on the evaluation machine, and the specifications will be explained later, and here are some points that the body size is also different by changing the panel.
ディスプレイパネルのアスペクトを16:10に変更したThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen9The body size of X1 Carbon Gen9 is 314.5x221.6x14.It is 9mm (width x depth x height), and the difference from the previous generation GEN8 is small, but the width is 8.5mm short, depth 4.It is 6mm longer.The occupied area is smaller in GEN9, but if you use a bag of the last size with a 14: 9 14 -inch notebook, you may need to be careful.
幅はより短く、奥行きはわずかに拡大したが14型(狭額縁)のサイズ感は変わらず、携帯性、生産性のバランスがよいWhat changes greatly with aspect changes is the amount of information on the display and the feeling of use.Comparing with a horizontal imaging of 1,920 dots, there is a difference of 1,080 dots for 16: 9 and 120 dots of 1,200 dots in 16:10.It's only 120 dots, but when you actually display the application, the amount of information feels quite different.
For example, when the Google Spreadsheet was displayed on a 100%scale, it was 42 lines per screen for 1,920 x 1,080 dots, but 47 lines for 1,920 x 1200 dots.Since it can be displayed more for 5 lines, it has the advantage that it is easy to grasp when the amount of data is large.
On the other hand, strictly speaking, the dot pitch is different, and even on the same 100%scale, the letters are smaller.In other words, there is a difference in the dot pitch.Depending on the visual acuity of the user, it may be a keystable scaling.

Customization on the direct sales site of Lenovo includes 3,840 x 2,400 dots (written as WQUXGA in the company) in addition to 1,920 x 1,200 dots (WUXGA).It can be selected according to your needs, such as whether or not a multi -touch is supported and a Think Privacy Guard, which prevents peeping from the diagonal back.
In addition, the old generation ThinkPad features a unique color of bluish, but X1 Carbon Gen9 has a standard configuration panel, SRGB 100%, and the WQUXGA panel has a DCI-P3 100%color range and HDR compatible.This is a big improvement.

Fingerprint authentication is also available, and in the conventional model, the position of the fingerprint authentication sensor was next to the trackpad, but in the X1 Carbon Gen9, it was integrated into the power button on the upper right of the keyboard.The keyboard surface looks simpler and refreshing.
720p映像およびIRカメラと、その右にはプライバシーシャッター用のスライドスイッチがある横長形状になった電源ボタンは指紋認証センサーを兼ねているIt is the same as the past that the LCD panel can open up to 180 degrees.The change in the panel aspect has become a little deeper, so the keyboard surface, especially the palm rest, is born.
In addition, a speaker is mounted on the left and right keyboard.This is the part realized by changing internal layouts and interfaces.
従来同様、液晶パネルをフラットになるまで開くことができるX1 Carbon Gen9のキーボード面There is no change in the keyboard array.The best thing about ThinkPad is that it inherits the same array for several generations.Speaking of ThinkPad's unique array, is it around PRTSC (Print Screen) between the FN key and the left Ctrl, and the right ALT and Ctrl.The cursor operation can be performed either a red track point surrounded by the GHB key, or a trackpad below.You can disable trackpads.
キーピッチは約19mmドラックパッドも従来モデルより広くなったWeight is about 1.There are some differences depending on the configuration in 13kg.Evaluation machine is 1.It was 163kg.Gen8 is nominal 1.It seems to be slightly heavier because it was 09kg.However, 1.If it is 1kg, it can be said that it is light enough.
重量は実測1.163kgThe AC adapter has an output of 45W.It is compatible with USB PD, but it is a so -called AC adapter shape, and it feels larger than the recent decrease in USB PD charger.Most of the time, the battery driving time is long enough, so you don't have to carry the AC adapter.
On the other hand, small USB PD chargers can be used not only on notebook PCs but also on various devices that they usually carry, such as smartphones and tablets.It will be used properly.
