Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell October 5, 2012 Featured Tech News, Laptop / Mobile

We measure from a distance of around 1 meter from the chassis and 4 foot from the ground with our Extech digital sound level meter to mirror a real world situation.

KitGuru noise guide
10dBA – Normal Breathing/Rustling Leaves
20-25dBA – Whisper
30dBA – High Quality Computer fan
40dBA – A Bubbling Brook, or a Refrigerator
50dBA – Normal Conversation
60dBA – Laughter
70dBA – Vacuum Cleaner or Hairdryer
80dBA – City Traffic or a Garbage Disposal
90dBA – Motorcycle or Lawnmower
100dBA – MP3 player at maximum output
110dBA – Orchestra
120dBA – Front row rock concert/Jet Engine
130dBA – Threshold of Pain
140dBA – Military Jet take off/Gunshot (close range)
160dBA – Instant Perforation of eardrum

The choice of low power Core i5  3427U processor ensures that the cooling system never has to work that hard. We would imagine the noise emissions would increase with a Core i7 in this system however – especially with such restricted physical dimensions. Something worth considering before you spend extra on the highest specified ThinkPad X1.
