Lenovo’s highly anticipated 14” UltraBook has just been spotted in mainland China selling for the considerable amount of $1660 (€1350). That’s a whole lot of money, but we must remember that this is a very high-quality device powered by Intel’s Ivy Bridge.

The new Lenovo ThinkPad X1 UltraBook is packed with premium features such as 3G connectivity and Lenovo’s own RapidCharge technology that guarantees a near-full battery charge in 30 minutes, along with Intel’s vPro technology packet that allows every security agency to monitor your computer.

Graphics are displayed on a 16:9 small matte screen with a 1600:900 resolution and the user only has Intel’s iGPUs to play with, so don’t get your hopes up about casual gaming.

In fact, Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Carbon is purely a business-oriented device that, despite the small weight and size, touts a 10-hour battery life that will be 80% recharged in just 30 minutes with Lenovo’s RapidCharge technology.

Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Carbon has reportedly been spotted in a retail computer store in China.
