My previous one (Samsung NXPsomething) needed a dongle but it came in the box. My current one (Microsoft Surface Book) doesn't have one on the device itself but there's one on the official dock which is the best place for it anyway.

The Thinkpad T460s I'm using has a real ethernet port. Not sure if the 470 will have one though.

No. Thinkpad X1 Carbon definitely has an ethernet port.

Are you sure? I don't see one http://zdnet1.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/2016/04/06/bac4d860-2c25-...

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.

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

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.
