NO SCRIMPING ON PORTS

Tips the Scales on Features — Not Weight
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition weighs less than a kilogram, so you can manage it with one hand — and open it easily with one finger. But the best part? This super-thin laptop includes lots of connectivity options to hook up a monitor, quickly charge other devices, transfer files, and even plug in a headset if you’re old school.
