You are being downvoted, but you are definitely right about the new ones. I'm not sure if they are shipping yet, though.

Details here: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/x-series/x1-ca...

Previous versions did not have one, afaik.

The last several generations of the X1 Carbon have all had Ethernet ports; the adapters are even compatible between the generations.

Via an adapter...

Worth mentioning though it's simply a port adapter. Not a USB device or whatever. So it works for things like PXE boot, etc., and has performance identical to regular onboard Ethernet.

I've never been bothered by the adapter. It just sits there attached to the (thin) cable I always carry in my bag anyway.
