LAS VEGAS—Last year's Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon was a return to form for Lenovo's X1 Ultrabook, with a keyboard to die for, strong performance, and a 14-inch screen in a 13-inch package. This year, Lenovo is taking the X1 branding—light, powerful, high-end machines—and diversifying it. No longer just a laptop, the company is launching a Yoga-brand 360-degree hinge X1 laptop, an X1 tablet, an X1 all-in-one PC, and even an X1 monitor.

Let's start with the new ThinkPad X1 Carbon laptop. It's been bumped to support Intel's latest Skylake processors—and with it, up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of NVMe storage—and made a little slimmer with it, down to 0.65 inches. It's shed a little weight, down to 2.6lbs, while still managing to contain a slightly larger 52 Wh battery. It'll be available in February with prices starting at $1,299.
Lenovo's big novelty with the X1 Carbon is an optional docking station using WiGig. This short range, high speed (4.6 gigabits per second) technology uses 60GHz radios to transmit video, USB 3, and Ethernet data. The X1 WiGig docking station ($250, available this month) sports DisplayPort, HDMI, USB 3, USB 2, audio, and gigabit Ethernet ports, and makes docking as simple as putting the laptop near the docking station.
