Since this is one of the best ultrabooks, it's built to meet MIL-SPEC durability standards and it has superior build-quality, you normally would expect to pay more than $1,500 for an X1 Carbon with even decent specs. However, Lenovo.com has some really great Cyber Monday deals on the X1 Carbon, including a base model that's just $999.
However, we strongly recommend buying the ThinkPad X1 Carbon with at least 16GB of RAM and, preferably, a 512GB or higher-capacity of SSD. The laptop's RAM is soldered onto the motherboard so there's no way up to upgrade it and, though you can swap out the M.2 SSD, we found that opening the chassis to do so was very challenging. If you buy from Lenovo.com, you can configure your X1 Carbon to order, but note that shipping custom configs could take 1 to 2 months so you're better off with a set config.
