Following the ThinkPad mass notebooks , Lenovo introduced new models of the flagship ThinkPad X1 series at CES 2018 - a 14-inch Carbon sixth-generation ultrabook, a Yoga flip-flop and a 13-inch Tablet tablet.

The laptop-transformer ThinkPad X1 Yoga received similar characteristics, but its 14-inch display can rotate 360 degrees, and in the case there is a slot for the stylus. The body weighing 1.4 kg is just a millimeter thicker than Carbon's.
