Having read about screen problems with Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch was wary but the new (2013) version seems fine and the machine is really attractive and fast. With Windows 8 and Office 365 I can get through my work very efficiently. Admittedly downloaded a free start button replacement (Classical Start Menu) which also has a "Shut Down" and "Restart" command and starts the X1 Carbon Touch in the Desktop, not Start screen.
Lightweight and fast somehow attractive, after a months use I am in love with this very useful companion.
Disadvantages - new power socket (throw away your old extra power packs) and no Ethernet input, also built in battery so cannot carry a spare. However, now very rapid charging and it is easy to get a USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet adapter (Cable Matters SuperSpeed).

After I turned the computer on for the first time, i realized the touchscreen was not working. I tried to apply the fix that was released by Lenovo and that didn't work either. Contacted the store (17th Street) requesting the item to be replaced (a few hours after i received my notebook), and received the following message from them:
"Unfortunately we cannot take back opened computers, as stated on our Amazon page at this time we are not able to issue a return authorization for your order; you do have a manufacturer’s warranty."
How would I know that the touchscreen was defective, had i not opened the box and turned the computer on?
Avoid buying anything from this seller. If the item is defective, you are on your own.

Bought the X1 Carbon as graduation gift for my son. But the unit was delivered DOA, couldn't power on nor charge it. Luckily, I tried it before giving it to my son and have him find out his graduation gift was a dud.
The only saving grace was Amazon.com customer service who helped to get my full refund from the seller.
