Last month, that user infatuation with tablets and smartphones continues to hammer the PC market.

Industry analysts suspect that these numbers pushed Lenovo to come out with the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, part of an of thin, light, high-performing Intel-powered laptops.

The new device has a 14-inch screen, weighs in at 2.3 pounds and has an 8-hour battery life. It's expected to sell for $1,299.

Patrick Moorhead, an analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy, said IT managers have been looking for more thin and light laptops, like Apple's MacBook Air and now Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon.

"PC makers need to diversify themselves. Lenovo is doing just that," said Moorhead. "They have a line of tablets and phones to accompany their notebooks and desktops. Business users will appreciate the classic Thinkpad keyboard but also enjoy the thinness and reduced weight expected in consumer notebooks."
