It looks like a typical thinkpad rubber back, but with the x1's "carbon fiber" design cutting through it with a wide diagonal line. Google only gives standard rubber backs. Anyone have any idea what this version of the design is called?

I really doubt it's actually carbon fibre why would you put carbon fibre on a laptop made of plastic? The plastic would deform from impact before the carbon fibre would, so it would have no benefit.

Perhaps Lenovo decided that they wanted to add a single design element to their laptop in a brave new move to be interesting.
