Lenovo's slim X1 Carbon gets an "adaptive" row of touch controls
2014-01-06
i'm dan ackerman here at CES 2014 with
the latest version of lenovo's x1 carbon
laptop this is the 2014 edition and it's
got a bunch of changes some big some
small it's a little bit thinner a little
bit lighter this is still pretty much
the thinnest lightest 14-inch ultrabook
you can get the big change here for this
year is this really cool road here that
replaces the function key row it's
called an adaptive keyboard and it
basically gives you a different set of
touch commands based on what you're
doing right now I've got some basic
commands that work with the the windows
menu here and if I flip over and get a
web browser then I get some different
commands that a web browser based let's
say a reload key or I could switch over
to skype and you get a bunch of VoIP
commands and then if you switch back to
your web browser you can go back to that
and they're like four presets that work
with VoIP programs or web browsers that
work with the windows menu and you get
the basic function keys if you want
those as well this is a cool improvement
comes with every version of the new x1
carbon which starts at 12 99 and should
be available right now i'm dan ackerman
at CES 2014 with the 2014 edition lenovo
x1 carbon
