Don't all 'ultrabooks' ship without an ethernet port nowadays?
- soperj 10y agoNo. Thinkpad X1 Carbon definitely has an ethernet port.
- oneeyedpigeon 10y agoAre you sure? I don't see one http://zdnet1.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/2016/04/06/bac4d860-2c25-49b2-b9b3-b9d1e6b9be53/1245abb33f6015259e3167396d4e9379/tp-x1-4g-sides.jpg http://zdnet1.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/2016/04/06/bac4d860-2c25-...
- gbrown_ 10y ago> No. Thinkpad X1 Carbon definitely has an ethernet port. Via an adapter...
- tedunangst 10y agoWorth mentioning though it's simply a port adapter. Not a USB device or whatever. So it works for things like PXE boot, etc., and has performance identical to regular onboard Ethernet. I've never been bothered by the adapter. It just sits there attached to the (thin) cable I always carry in my bag anyway.
- jsight 10y agoYou are being downvoted, but you are definitely right about the new ones. I'm not sure if they are shipping yet, though. Details here: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/x-series/x1-carbon/ http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/x-series/x1-ca... Previous versions did not have one, afaik.
- JoshTriplett 10y agoThe last several generations of the X1 Carbon have all had Ethernet ports; the adapters are even compatible between the generations.
- tthayer 10y agoThe Thinkpad T460s I'm using has a real ethernet port. Not sure if the 470 will have one though.
- lmm 10y agoMy previous one (Samsung NXPsomething) needed a dongle but it came in the box. My current one (Microsoft Surface Book) doesn't have one on the device itself but there's one on the official dock which is the best place for it anyway.
