Display Port Cable For Lenovo X1 Carbon

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had forgotten why I liked the X1 carbon series so much; I was a Surface user for many years, but this time I decided to give Lenovo another try. I’m absolutely happy to have done it; the performance of this laptop is far superior to my surface, it feels lighter and the battery last longer that I have needed to so far. The screen looks great and the Lenovo View functions are awesome. It reminds me to keep a proper posture and warns me of incoming onlookers! I am definitely happy with this purchase, it can run Witcher 3 with low graphics at 30 fps without problems. Not a gaming laptop, but an overall balanced laptop for work and personal use.

It is perfect for modern 14inch laptops (e.g. Lenovo X1 carbon). Top quality, very light, I take it with me everywhere. I certainly recommend it.

A sales associate recommended this sleeve for my Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon, which is a 14 thin laptop. It fits perfectly. It provides extra protection for this laptop when I carry it with me in my backpack. The material is thicker than other laptop sleeves, yet light.

This display port cable is a great value.

My new Lenovo laptop came with a mini-display port and not an HDMI output. This is an essential accessory for MDP--in my case it allowed me to hook the laptop to the HDMI input on my monitor. And yes, it carries both audio and video, which is not clear in the product description.

This cable works. Nothing else to say; it's a cable. Display port is on the computer end, DVI on the monitor end.

This monitor has display port interface and cable included. Works well, and is a good value.

I needed a compact, simple, high-quality, secondary display to sit beside my main monitor. I very much wanted a portable monitor, but not to actually carry around with me, just not an ordinary display with the clutter of power cord/stand/etc. It will mostly be sitting in one place, but the nature of my work involves frequent changes to all the hardware connected to my system, so a degree of portability is great. What I also didn't really want was the usual origami case/cover/stand that comes with most portable monitors. I think they're great, but just not right for this particular usage. Before the Lenovo I tried an Asus Zenscreen, which was pretty awesome, but had a battery (great for true portable use!) but wouldn't power-up if the battery needed charging, which is a hassle I don't need. The Asus also had an HDMI input, which the Lenovo lacks, and also built-in speakers (if I recall correctly). Again, for true portable use, the speakers are almost a must-have, so for some people the Lenovo won't fit the bill. The lack of HDMI support is a little disappointing, for sure, but even though I would have made use of it, it also wasn't a deal breaker (for me). So, yes, if all you need is the display, and your computer/device supports video over USB-C, this is a great option. Minor gripe is the straight plug and length of the supplied USB-C cable. A right-angled plug and another foot or so of length would have been much better. I had to buy a separate cable, and (as I discovered the hard way!) not many USB-C cables support the alt mode of Displayport-over-USB, and the correct cable wasn't cheap! For me, in this particular scenario, this Lenovo is pretty much perfect. For some people it may be a little too basic, so for those people I'd say try the Asus.

The X1 Carbon, is leightweight, but still very powerful. The docking station makes it the most useful laptop that I have ever owned.
