With the right docking station or monitor, you can charge the laptop, output to multiple monitors and connect to high-speed peripherals over a single cable. Because USB Type-C and Thunderbolt 3, which share the same port, are industry-wide standards, you can attach the laptop to an entire ecosystem of chargers and docks. The X1 Carbon charges via either of its Thunderbolt 3 connectors, and comes with a USB Type-C power adapter rather than one with a proprietary Lenovo jack. The left side holds a second USB 3 port, a full-size HDMI port, two Thunderbolt 3 connectors and a micro-Ethernet port, which requires you to use a dongle that comes with the laptop. The right side of the laptop houses a 3.5mm headphone jack, a Kensington lock slot and a USB 3.0 port that can charge your gadgets even when the system is off. Unlike some other superlight laptops that don't have room for USB 3 connectors, the X1 Carbon makes room for both dual Thunderbolt 3 ports and most of the legacy ports that users need (see our ports guide for more info).
