Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch - Part 1: First impressions

Today I got a new Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch (sadly not with a new Haswell CPU inside) and played around a bit. Two things stand out immediately:

  • The touchpad is much better and bigger than in former Lenovo laptops I've used. But the touchpad in my Macbook Pro is still better. For example two finger swipe gestures to go back and forward in the web browser seems not to work.
  • Windows 8 updates are still horrible: It takes some time to download 99 updates but it takes an eternity to install them. So I used this time to write this blog post.
