The X1 comes with an (included) external ethernet dongle which runs at full speed. That is to say: it's not a BW-limited USB-based adapter.
I agree it's a bit silly to need a dongle, it seems to be quite a popular sacrifice (ref Macbook air) to help make laptops thinner.
As this trend increased, I suspect we will start seeing USB-C (3.x) type networking kits becoming the standard for ethernet. Maybe some day even without the RJ45 connector.
