The X1 Carbon is quite a bit lighter at just under 3lbs and is better a better screen/battery etc.

If you are mistaking the X1 (1293-2DU) with the X1 Carbon, you ARE missing somethingComputerMinder wrote:My wife owns X301 and want to upgrade.
I've compared two models:
T420s (4171-6JU) and X1 (1293-2DU)
The X1 looks pale compared to the T420s.
True they have a bit of different dimensions, but the weight is the same!!!
T420s (4171-6JU) - 3.68lb (1.67kg) with 6 cell.
X1 (1293-2DU) - 3.73lb (1.69kg) with integrated 6 cell.
It's amazing, The T420s weight even a bit less, even though it has a bigger screen, higher resolution, dedicated GPU NVIDIA NVS 4200M (1Gb) AND last but not least a DVD-RW !
So I am really shocked, the this T420s optimus model seem to be a powerful computer loaded with features, yet still weight same or less than the X1.
And this T420s sells for about $1800 while the X1 for about $2400. Only difference is the X1 comes with 8gb RAM and the T420s initially with 4Gb, but no big deal will just but another 4Gb Dimm and would still be cheaper. The screen of the X1 is also brighter 350nits vs. 250nits of the T420s. But that's just about it to the benefits of the X1 as fas as I can tell.
So what's the point being a slim computer (the X1) with the weight same as the feature laden T420s? Besides the T420s has a matte antiglare screen and not that super reflective gorilla glass that the X1 has.
Maybe I am missing something, I would love to hear what you guys think. Need to upgrade wife's computer soon (and my X200s too )
