Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great load pc, powerful and fast This was on a great labor day sale couldn't pass it up. 32 gig ram, 1 tb ssd, 4K and a video card. Only 2k. Setup was easy no issues at all. Lenovo pre registered my warranty and delivery was fast. Awesome experience. Only down side was no network connection, has a special dongel connection but service desk chat couldn't tell me the right one to buy

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does not like Ubuntu, but overall great laptop Difficult to make work with Ubuntu. These issues are probably due to the new hardware and lack of supporting drivers. There are issues with hibernate and battery power monitoring. Linux kernel has to be updated to 5.1 to use the wireless card. Aesthetically, the computer is really nice. The keyboard feels great. The 9th gen i7 processor is good. Running multiple node services locally with hot reloading, no problem. VS Code with various plugins and thousands of files, no problem. Crazy amount of chrome tabs open, no problem. Docker containers, no problem. I can overlook the linux issues as I'm happy with the performance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great device. Happy with the decision ! I have recently started using the Lenovo Thinkpad x1 extreme gen 2 with i9 variant. The laptop is quiet crisp in its response. The video quality is truly awesome. Yet to check the processor's extreme limit for gaming and machine learning purpose.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Powerful laptop in a very compact case Nice lightweight computer with power for word processing, complex spreadsheets, Photoshop image enhancement and many other tasks. Add a wireless mouse and you can do as much or more than with most desktops. Has slots to add a second SODIMM and a second SSD.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Works with Linux, with help Overall this laptop is excellent and I have enjoyed my time using it. I dual boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu 19.04, and unfortunately 19.04 does not work out of the box. You will need to install the latest kernel and install additional packages in order to make the wifi and graphics card work. After that. however, it works great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Powerful, but annoying glitches This laptop is a really powerful machine, and I really like that, however, its my third week and these have been issues that have been coming up every now and then: 1- Screen tearing when I scroll down, after restart it goes away 2- Screen flickering between warm and cool colors, really annoying, again, goes away with restart 3- Sometimes audio jumps and makes a crack sound every 5-10 minutes 4- The battery life is shorter than I expected, but I can live with it I wish lenovo could help me with these issues, But overall, the machine is still a really powerful one, with all the combination of things you could get in one laptop. I say its worth the price, so as long as you don't get the screen tearing/flickering and sound issues.

All the features are even more than expected, especially the 4K screen is amazing. The exterior finishing is very well done and the keyboard is awesome. Moreover, the internal components are top market for laptop so everything works fast as light.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Powerful, light and connective. But not perfect. So far I am happy with the laptop. It truly is a powerhouse of a computer. Linux support seems good as long as your are on a newer kernel. But the complete experience with the purchase process and the other cons mentioned at the end pulls my impression down to a 3 star rating. Positives: - Better than expected battery life - Great screen, with good crisp image and enough light (LCD HDR400 4K) - Huge plus for connectivity (2xUSB-C Thunder Bolt, HDMI, 2xUSB with fast charge, Card Reader, 2 x internal m2 slots. This, the data transfer rates, and the fact that the memory wasn't soldered was the selling point for me. - A small positive for the "lap detection" where the laptop throttles down when you have it on your lap to keep it cooler. Its still hot tho. - Cool keyboard. The keyboard doesn't get uncomfortably hot as many other laptops. - Light weight for the size and power Negatives: - Powerful laptops and heat, bad combo, and its not easy to keep things cool under heavy loads(Not just a Lenovo issue tho). -- The cooler exhaust placement/screen hinging is nothing short of terrible. I'm guessing 50% of the effectiveness is lost, and 50% of the noise is produced because of the blocking by the bottom part of the screen bezel and the over pressure the design creates. I think someone hasn't thought this through at all. -- At the price point, the ether adapter should have been delivered with the laptop. Actually giving this one a double negative just because it feels THAT unnecessary. The USB-C ports are most likely gonna be unpopulated when you are in need of ether anyways. Spending the same amount for an in most cases unnecessary proprietary adapter when you can just buy a USB-C ether adapter which you can use on several devices, even your phone seems like the better choice. - No choice of Linux OS when ordering (at least when I bought it) -- To rigid sales department on configurations. If I wanted a laptop without operating system, disks and memory, I really should be able to. And the fact that I was told that quite a few of my build options wasn't possible was no problem if you started you build tool from the lower model and built up the specs. This made it possible to have Win Home, smaller m2 drive and less memory. - The delivery time was postponed way to many times, and the sales department seemed like they had no control on when, where or what was going on with the order. I just feel when your shopping at this end of the price range, one should be able to expect more. Hope I have helped some people on their decision.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from GREAT FOR DUAL BOOTING AND WORK I love my new ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 2 (15" Laptop I opted for this model because it has not one but two M.2 drives capability, its great if you want to run windows in one SSD and linux on the other, also its very easy to dual boot and install so far i have windows in one SSD and 4 separate partitions of Linux running on the other SSD.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Kinda disappointing but an okay laptop I was so excited to get this laptop, but when it first arrived, it ran very sluggishly. After a few windows updates and bios updates, it seems to be okay now, but not like super smooth or anything. The fan noise is noticeable even when I'm just browsing webs and doing some light works. Also, it does throttle A LOT. And I had problem unscrew the screw on the m.2 slot even with an overly powerful screwdriver set. I had to use a plier with a rubber band to extract it, which was super stressful for me. The keyboard is excellent tho. And the battery life falls between 4-5 hours, which is more than enough for me, by doing some light use such as web browsing and listening to music. And the speaker is good even though it is located under the laptop. This laptop looks premium ad feels premium. I really like it, and I believe most of those problems I'm facing can be solved by future updates. That being said, it's a costly laptop, so before you buy it, be sure to consider all these downsides and pray for the best.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from a beast of a laptop This is a beast of a laptop. I use it for software development and need a powerful machine. X1 Extreme Gen 2 delivers. I wish it was a little easier to get external monitors working in Linux, but after the initial setup it roars. Well done, Lenovo. And oh, yeah, a physical ESC key. Very important for a VIM user like me...

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great performance but ... Has Core i9 with 8 core, 16 threads. The performance is twice better for a multithreaded application than those Core i7 4 core, 8 threads. My benchmark confirmed this. The only catch is that I could not run Oracle Virtual Box with the error VT-X not available, even though BIOS has Intel Virtualization settings and I confirmed that it is enabled. It is in repair state right now at Lenovo. I hope that they can fix it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great laptop! But be careful with TB3... I have used this for only a short time but have been very pleased - it is fast, efficient, and has been a solid performer thus far. The pain point is the Thunderbolt 3 Gen 2 docking station. It is also new and has been problematic to say the least. The combo is outstanding when I am not fighting the docking station (monitor dropping out, USB dropping, etc). You expect some driver issues when you buy new equipment. Still, it can be frustrating. Lenovo has always made a very reliable and robust product in my experience.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Slim, powerful, and efficient The Thinkpad Extreme Gen 2 handles tasks with ease, it's reliable, efficient, and has a good battery life for an Ultrabook. The 9th Gen Intel processors are very powerful and the GTX 1650 graphics card can handle some medium intensive games at 90+ fps. I played No Man's Sky on it under enhanced settings and it ran fine. I love how sleek, thin, and light it feels and it has that classic Lenovo style. The one I bought has 300 nits of brightness which is good for indoors though I suggest getting the 400-500 nit version. The SSD and hard drive storage is plentiful and there's a Thunderbolt 3 port if you'd like to beef it up. In fact it has several outputs if you'd like to alter it. All-in-all I'm glad I bought it and it should last me for several years.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Is the new i9 problematic? It heats up so much and freeze the display. I had to lost a lot my work that I was working on. Laptop is warming up so much so that I have to take off my clothes while I’m using it! I thought that if a laptop’s features good enough for game player, that laptop can be purchased for purpose of work that required using a lot programs at the same time.. 32gb RAM and i9 processor.. I said woow! That’s it! But now I regret! I shouldn’t have given away my old laptop.. I don’t know it the problem is about cooler is not enough to cool down an i9?? Anyway I’ll contact with customer service! I’ll lose a lot time unfortunately.. maybe I’ll have to send it back, I’ll have to lose all my programs etc.. I’m a regular client! All I wanted that purchase a good laptop and saving time! So sad..

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pretty Good, but Keyboard Issue Is Very Annoying Pro: - The build quality of the chassis is sturdy and I really like the feel of the material - The 1080 FHD screen looks really great and bright, color accurate - It is super light and fits in my backpack for work on the go - It has a ton of performance power, the CPU and GPU handle most everything well (i9-9750H, GTX 1650 - Classic ThinkPad design, looks professional, can block the web-cam Con: - I was really looking forward to this keyboard, but mine has a defect. The space bar squeaks almost every time I press it. It almost sounds like something is getting rubbed the wrong way, or there might not be enough greaser in there? This was pretty disappointing as everyone raves about the keyboard and I am reminded every time I finish a word that mine has a QC issue. - The computer does get hot. This is to be expected with the power hungry components in a small package so its not too bad. I am considering doing a re-paste but I under-volted and this helped - Battery life is only ~4-5 hours max, I really wish they put a little bigger battery in it Overall I'd give it a 3.6 (rounded up because no half-star) as I really like the computer but the keyboard issue is something that irritates me to no end. It wasn't a cheap machine so I'm upset with the imperfection that is audible and changes the feel of the entire typing experience. I'd bump the computer to a 4.5 probably if I was happy with the keyboard, so maybe you will be more lucky. :(

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Final judgement pending I've only had the laptop for 2 days, but the fan is really loud and the trackpad is sticky. These two issues make it feel cheap, but it is not a cheap computer. This being my first Windows-based laptop, at the beginning I thought it was supposed to be like that (cheaply made), and continued to load it with software. When the fan kicked in at night when it was supposed to be asleep, I realized it is NOT supposed to act like that, and called the manufacturer. Per their suggestion I updated the driver, which seems to have helped with the fan (it is still loud but doesn't kick in as frequently and only for a short time), but the trackpad is still not functional, so they are supposed to exchange it. Other than those two issues, I do like the laptop. I like the sleek design, display quality, speed, and the fact that it has USB ports in addition to Thunderbolt 3. Hopefully the fan and trackpad issues are not inherent to this model and that I will be able to give it five stars when I receive the replacement.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sure is pretty I travel often, and I need significant processing power, so I bought this for my business. It arrived 6 days later. It died 22 days after that. Completely unresponsive. After a phone call with service, they think the system board is dead. That happens. Just replace the board, no harm no foul. Unfortunately, that part is not in stock. Now, it has been 12 days since it died. After multiple calls, it was expedited and will be available in only four days. I will be traveling, so they cannot work on it until at least 10 days from now. Hopefully the new system board will fix it. If not, I'll have to wait while they order another part. Lenovo refuses to replace it or return my money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simple, slick, premium. I bought the Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 2 last month, and I am exceedingly satisfied with it. The sleekness of the premium hardware design along with the exceptional software specifications Lenovo has to offer is incredible. Before the Thinkpad, I owned an Acer Aspire 5 and a Zenbook, none of which I was satisfied with as I am with the Thinkpad X1 Extreme. The keyboard is one of the laptops most distinguishing aspect; the feedback when typing on it is very satisfying. It makes me never want to stop typing. The display is good as well as the track pad and track point, although I do not use the track point myself. Overall, the Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 2 is a laptop I I intend to use for a long time given how fast and responsive the CPU and GPU processors are. I would strongly recommend the Thinkpad X1 Extreme to anyone looking for the best performance on a 15.6" laptop with the perfect balance of performance, portability, and stylist designs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Macbook Air 2011's WiFi faster than Thinkpad X1? Well the overall is very good and even high-end gaming is also allowed on this computer. It is light, it is 4k, and the FPS is like, ok. The only problem with it is that its internet connection often lags. For example when playing online with shellshock.io the ms gets so high that it reaches over twenty thousand, and what happens is, your camera gets stuck in the air and other players sees you standing there doing nothing. I'm really sorry to compare but the same time my computer was so lagging, the MacBook Air from 2011 besides me gets a 96 ms high speed WiFi. So maybe in the next Windows update do something to the WiFi settings in this computer. It's so slow. But still I really like it.

The colors are rich and vivid, the fan noise isn't even bad and for me (43 year old software developer), the weight is light considering all of the capability I'm getting for it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Laptop I've struggled to find our office a lightweight yet reliable & powerful laptop that wouldn't break our budgets and this one really ticks all the boxes. Our users have given nothing but positive responses and those waiting for their next upgrade are excited about this replacing their old 10lb bricks. Other laptops/brands typically fall short in several areas, from docking and durability, to lack of available ports on the laptop. I'll be sticking with Lenovo for the foreseeable future. Great products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very nice laptop. The laptop overall is a very nice device. I am currently using it to aid in my college studies as an engineering major. I have yet been able to test out the graphics card but I am excited. The weight is not too heavy, however it is not an easy feat with one hand. The fan is very loud and noisy, but sound is not often, only during heavy use and performance. The keyboard is very nice, not as smooth and light as the carbon, but still overall a good keyboard.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Top quality and performance! I'm very satisfied with my new ThinkPad. The built quality and performance are as superior as one would expect buying a laptop from Lenovo (and in this price range). The Extreme X1 is my first personal device from Lenovo but definitely not my last. If I had to point out one negative thing about this laptop, I would say the battery life could be longer to last a full day of demanding workload while maintaining a proper screen brightness. The positive things however are predominant by far. Definitely a recommendation!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is arguably the best laptop you can get I initially considered this computer a bit too expensive, especially the configuration with the oled display and the i9 processor. However, I don't regret at all my purchase. The display is gorgeous, the keyboard is comfortable and the performance is excellent (something that is guaranteed with the hardware involved in this configuration). As final note, I can say that I did myself a comparison of several brands (Razerblade, Dell, Gigabyte and Acer) and Lenovo x1 extreme offered, in my opinion, the best deal

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good but ultimately flawed I've ordered two refurbished models of this laptop and both have had serious issues with the touchscreen digitizer being visible on the display. I can't give this machine a great rating as I haven't actually received one that functions properly yet. For a laptop that is advertised as being a machine for creation the screen was unacceptable. That being said I may have just been severely unlucky and I do have praise for other elements of the machine. The build quality is great and the repairability and upgradeability is phenomenal. The keyboard is one of the best I have ever used and certainly makes both its Mac and pc contemporaries feel like a downgrade in that regard. The material quality is high and it definitely seems like a premium machine. If I had to give advice I would reccomend avoiding the touchscreen model as that is the only issue I have found.

It's thin and light, but highly capable. With the GTX 1650 and Core i7-9750H I can run Doom 2016 on Ultra at 60fps+. I don't game much but it's a good test of performance. I bought a secondhand Thunderbolt Workstation Dock which works well. I upgraded the RAM & SSD on my own, which was quite simple. The Intel SSDs shipped in the X1 Extreme are Self-encrypting, which is great for keeping your laptop secure during travel. So far I am really happy with this machine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A thin laptop with great performance. This consider as a lightweight laptop despite the kind of performance that on-par with some of the desktop build. It has a lot of upgrade potential such as accessible ram slot and an additional nvme ssd slot. I upgraded mine to 32GB DDR4 and 2TB of nvme. However, on the downside, the laptop is hot especially doing pushing all the 6 cores to its limit. But for that kind of performance in that thin and solid chasis as well as the portability, it is acceptable to me.

Battery life is not the best but its acceptable, especially with the FHD display. 4k would probably drain the battery even worse. Stays cool until you put it under heavy load, especially gaming, although that's not necessarily what we buy Thinkpads for. It seems to manage heat better than many thin laptops I've used. Good ventilation, which I appreciate. The red nippy is also a nice touch. I look forward to using my Thinkpad for years to come!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Portable and powerful. This is a great laptop for travel purposes. Very light, perormance is outstanding. I keep a running lab in hyper-v running on the laptop for various it-support/testing functionality I need when I travel. having multiple vms running in Hyper-v doesn't cause any performance hit.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from In Hindsight Some parts I love, some not. I had a much smaller laptop before, and this size is difficult to get used to; although I'm generally highly adaptable. I chose 32 memory for this and had 8 in the old laptop. I can't see any difference so far. It takes the same amount of time to start, to wakeup, etc. I don't have my office installed yet, so I don't know if it will make a difference. In hindsight, I wish I had ordered and customized a laptop with a smaller footprint even though it had less memory. One huge difference between this one and the old machine is the heat it puts out. This is so much cooler, but the fan runs often and is loud enough to be annoying.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My old ThinkPad=great. New ThinkPad, not so much. I bought this new ThinkPad computer to replace a 7 year old ThinkPad that has proven itself to be flawlessly bullet proof. The NEW ThinkPad has had to go back for repairs twice so far -- and is still there right now after more than 2 weeks. It has been at the repair depot more than on my desk. Between the computer and the Thunderbolt 3 dock (also faulty and had to be replaced) I've spent over $3,000 hoping that I would be buying the best. Guess not... BTW, fortunately, my old ThinkPad is still bumping along. Otherwise I'd be out of business.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic Laptop with Solid, Balanced Performance After 24 hours of use, I’m loving this laptop! It’s a fantastic all-around computer that has no problem balancing multiple programs running simultaneously while having the graphical capabilities of running most modern games at a pretty high frame rate. I like the look more than I thought I would, and while I was initially worried about the keyboard style compared to my old laptop, I have no problem being able to type quickly on this laptop. The only thing I could begin to complain about would be the cooling system, which can be a bit loud at times, but it’s effective so I can only complain to a certain point. Would wholeheartedly recommend this laptop to any of my peers!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best PC for the Jack of All Trades User I'm a jack of all trades user and wear many hats for our business -- I needed a powerful PC that could withstand the heavy use I put it through. I was upgrading from the T470S (another good PC), but was getting to the end of life with the battery and everything was slowing down due to my heavy use. We're talking multiple sales presentations, Adobe Illustrator and InDesign, Google Earth Studio, Video Editing, heavy excel work, and multiple tabs in the browser. It's my day to day, so I needed something that wouldn't slow me down. The ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 2 checked all the boxes! While it is bigger than my T470s, I'm not sure it weights much more (at least I don't notice it). Highly recommended for the jack of all trades user that does a little bit of everything and doesn't want a Macbook.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Almost great. There's a lot to like. The keyboard is even better than the X-1 Yoga. The OLED screen is fabulous. It's powerful and just eats through any task. It's surprisingly light for its size. On the other hand there's nagging little things like the noisy fan, the screen blackouts, the transfer rate on the Thunderbolt 3 port that seems to be at gen 2 speeds, and heat rising through the keyboard that can make typing a challenge. Also be aware that while the 135 watt power supply jacks up speed you cannot charge the computer through the Thunderbolt 3 port because T-3 cannot handle that much power.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Mostly Good, but Some Bad, Some Ugly Good: Lightweight. Hi-res screen. Keyboard. Seems peppy/fast. Nvidia graphics. Bad: Put the control shift back where it belongs! Period! "Console" operation has unreadably tiny fonts, no BIOS option to make them bigger. Intel/Nvidia graphics mix semi-toxic. Graphics subsystem has no simple (BIOS) option to e.g. halve the resolution until operating systems catch up. USB-C ethernet dongle or straight USB ethernet adapter BOTH failed to PXE boot the system on many tries. Ugly: USB-C wired ethernet dongle itself is ugly and what do you do with it when you don't immediately need it? Let it hang there? The final word is that it took me more tries to get Fedora (30) to install on it than I've ever spent on a Lenovo laptop (and I'm up to three that I'm using all the time at different locations). The biggest issue was (unsurprisingly) handling the graphics driver with the integrated Intel/Nvidia controller, but USB boot and PXE issues were a close second. I've managed to succeed and it is running satisfactorily, but I'm a 32 year Unix, 24 year Linux expert and it shouldn't be this difficult...

It does get relatively hot when under heavy loads, but it doesn't slow down and the heat disperses very quickly. The only complaint I have is the lack of io, two thunderbolt and two USB A isn't much for a workstation type machine, and the USB c dock from Lenovo is pricey for what you get. That aside, fantastic buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Performance, Elegence, and Ease of Use Purchased version with 4K 500 mit IPS non-touch; i9; 32 gig ram; 500 gig HD. Best screen I've used on a laptop, good color, very bright. Thermals seem improved over gen1 reports, though I have the i9, the processor consistently clocks >4.6. Lenovo tools have been quite useful this time around. Battery life is poor relative to my expectations. Perhaps, because I have largely maxed out specifications. However, unplugged with ONLY outlook, word and two browsers open (no videos), I have a projected battery life of 4.5 hours. Given the "up to 14 hours" rating, I did not expect such a massive drop off. This is the major thing keeping me from giving the unit a five star. Only other issue, is it seems I'm getting some lag with keystrokes and some keystroke rejection.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from great laptop, increadible screen resolution This laptop is screaming fast (12 core), lots of RAM, fast and large SSD. Face recognition works very well. Plenty of USB ports - regular and UCB-C. On the somewhat negative side is the funky Ethernet connector that requires adopter to use RJ-45. For such a high price they should have included the RJ-45 connector. The design is a bit dated. This is a replacement of a similar Lenovo laptop that I have that is circa 2011 and the design is almost identical. Sound is a bit low, but I might need to play with various settings. Adding a second HDMI monitor works. Moving windows from very high resolution laptop screen to lower resolution HD monitor sometimes does not work as expected.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fan is too loud and keeps humming I had great expectations for this laptop since I had a Lenovo yoga for many years and it was reliable for what I needed to do. Also been a fan of Lenovo until I got this one. This laptop was very disappointing for two reason. The fan is too loud and it keep humming for no reason even when I have nothing running and the computer is running cool. Second issue I have is that when it goes to sleep my WiFi disappears and I can’t get it to come back without a reboot. I would return this laptop but been too lazy and just been using my $300 desktop that running better and more quiet than this laptop.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One of the best laptops ever! An amazing laptop that's extremely well built. Thermals are pretty good, although the fan does get very loud when the system is being stressed. On the plus side, the fans are really pushing some serious air. If you expect to be running some processor/GPU heavy tasks in a quiet room with others, this is something you want to keep in mind. I love how light the machine is for what it is. Haven't felt anything that feels as premium eithe r! The 500 nit FHD display is gorgeous and detailed. Haven't checked the colour calibration yet. Getting good battery life so far but will evaluate that a bit more.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great product But The X1 Extreme Gen 2 is an excellent laptop from Lenove but has a hole in it's technology. I have owned server T series laptops. This is my first X1 Extreme. My only drawback is something many folks wouldn't bother with. The keyboard is a soft touch keyboard with no tactile feedback and none available. For some reason, some of the keys don't want to work every time a key is pressed. You go back and find that some of the letters are missing. So you have to go back and make corrections to the words. Some laptops offer the option through Windows to turn on or off the tactile feedback but it doesn't seem to be available with the X1 Extreme. This is my only complaint. I love the technology and the size of the new X1. I own the 15.6' version without the touchscreen, but it is bright and beautiful. Power up process is fast and the fingerprint reader is much better than I had in the T series. There are a good number of connectivity options but there are only two USB ports. The external display I have uses the HDMI connection. Setting it up to be used with the laptop was extremely simple. Due to the small number of USB ports, I ordered the Thurderbolt 3 Workstation Dock. It has helped tremendously with my need for extra USB ports. I would probably order this product again, however, I am disappointed that there is no option to turn on tactile feedback for the keyboard.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for programming, gaming & everything else Everything is perfect. I'm a CS graduate student. Perfect for programming, using Unity & Android studio without any problem. Plug in the charger and gaming is really smooth, at least smooth enough for a laptop this thin. The GPU can be turned off(at least I think so) to prolong using time with battery. The battery can easily stand 7 hours with normal browsing websites and working on Microsoft office with spreadsheet/slides, etc. Just remember to switch to energy saving mode. Only problem is sometimes the fan is really loud. Not a big problem for me, I like hearing the fan's sound. And it's like 1 time in 10 minutes, each time lasting 20 seconds. There should be some way to fix this, because I'm not working on something hardcore.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic developer machine! So far this laptop exceeds my expectations. I did decide to go through extra steps of reinstalling windows for a clean boot and then reinstalled the lenovo tools, which are very helpful. I also installed Pop_OS! which so far works perfectly, though it does require some additional software to insure the health of the battery. Otherwise both Windows and Linux are blazing fast with whatever work loads I throw at them. I am a full stack developer so I also needed to make sure that my next laptop had an excellent typing experience and sure enough lenovo does not disappoint. It is the best keyboard I have used since I also used lenovo laptops at my previous IT job. I went with the 4k ips screen so I could manage the scaling myself and fit more on the screen, hit to battery-life? Probably. But it's worth it for me and watching content on it is a joy. Though I do not really recommend consuming content on this without headphones, I use Sony WH-1000XM3s and they sound fantastic as usual, but importantly the bluetooth on this laptop is fantastic, which again is important for my workflow/usage. Last on my topics to cover is how much upgrade potential this thing has. I love that I can increase the RAM to 64gb! Add a second nvme or replace the first, replace the wireless/bluetooth card, etc Compared to a surface book 2 this thing is a beast and with potential upgrades it will last me quite a while!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Outstanding laptop computer but..... This laptop is outstanding in every way. It is light weight for the computing and graphics power. The construction is robust and is made of nice materials. I would definitely recommend the machine. Here is the BUT... Lenovo misrepresents (accidentally I hope) the type of docking station that works with this machine on a 4k monitor. They suggest the ThinkPad Thunderbolt 3 Dock Gen 2 Type 40AN, Model# DK1841 with a 135 watt power supply. This dock does not supply enough power via the USB-C cable to drive a 4k external monitor. You will find that the external monitor will start but then about every 3 minutes it will drop for about 15-20 seconds then come back on. This behavior repeats indefinitely. In addition you may need to change some BIOS settings to get smooth behavior on the external monitor with your mouse. Once again, the laptop is excellent and the screen is outstanding. Just be careful about which docking station you purchase if you want to use an external monitor.

When the cpu operation reaches 90%, the notebook has begun to get hot and the fan is also speeding up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So far, so good with some pleasant surprises Honestly, this wasn't my first choice in laptops, but it's the one I kept after returning the Dell and the Macbook Pro. I've long associated this brand with work/corporate stock computers, and they still are. They aren't sexy, but they work well. Lenovo hasn't traded design for function, they've kept what works and improved what they can. They've more or less addressed the throttling issue that plagues the lastest "power laptops". I really like the keyboard, the trackpad is good, the screen resolution is very good . . . really the only think I don't like is the fans. They are fairly loud at times. so minus one star.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great specifications but potential issues The Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 2 has certainly great specifications but the machine that I have received has, potentially, some issues. Even at at very low load, battery life is very limited (just a couple of hours, not more). And this was achieved with no backlighting, screen brightness reduced substantially, and only web surfing!! The machine gets warm immediately after booting it. There may be some problems which I hope Lenovo may work out, but these have not been defined thus far. Lenovo technical support has not been as good as it should be. It has still been unable to provide information to me regarding the best docking station (that allows booting and even network wake up) for this machine (although 5 docking stations are shown as "compatible"). Not a very heppy state of affairs right now

I had mine with the top of the line intel chips and 64 GB of RAM. I use it for many things but primarily Photoshop and Lightroom which run much faster than my previous laptop. Extremely satisfied.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Power Laptop with a Sleek Design I’m an epidemiology PhD student working with some large datasets, so I needed a laptop with some serious processing power. With 32GB of RAM and the i7 9th gen processor, this computer works like a dream. In addition, it has a sleek design (although a bit larger length-wise, as laptops like this tend to be), is solidly-built, and had a good battery life considering it’s processing speed. Since it’s a Lenovo I expect this laptop to maintain its performance for years. If you want a laptop with some power and are willing to spend the money, this is a great buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Such a sleek machine I was honestly surprised at how light this computer is, and how well it operates. The battery life is also pretty impressive, lasting me almost the entire day I was setting it up, downloading files from my server, etc (to be fair it kept going into sleep mode but bringing it back was very quick) Unlike some other Lenovo laptops *cough* Yoga *cough* the fingerprint sensor works like a charm. All in all its a pleasure to use and carry around. I took one star off because the plastic housing sometimes moves and snaps back into place a little, but I can live with that

I consider myself a power user, I'm an occasional gamer, and while certainly capable of holding it's own in that realm, this laptop will primarily be used for productivity, and that, it certainly excels at. It's a very handsome package containing a great looking display, an extremely capable processor and abundance of I/O ports, couldn't ask for more in a Mil-Spec Ultrabook weighing under 5 lbs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great machine w/ only minor issues. Outstanding build. Solid construction. Great screen (I have FHD Dolby and highly recommend it. Great keyboard, as expected for any Lenovo. Easy to upgrade--more so than most I have tried--and room for plenty of RAM and an extra SSD. I have i7 and it's snappy and responsive. If you're running standard office / websurfing then it will happily exist in a fan-off state and is quiet as a mouse. Cons: a) Battery life is fine but not outstanding, the 500-nit screen at max bright burns quite a bit. That said you still get some hours so unless you're dedicated to a solid 8-hour never-plugged-in high-powered-use high-brightness day (and who does that, really?) it seems fine. But if you are mainly focused on batter life this may not be for you, perhaps get a T490 w/ big battery, i3 or i5, and dimmer screen. b) It gets a bit hot on high use or charging, to actually use on a lap. c) for longer runs (i.e. Cinebench) there is a strange BIOS throttling issue which I expect will be fixed, but right now the system will not maintain max fan and max CPU load for more than ~20 seconds. Frankly I don't really care since I don't render video and I never hit that bottleneck in normal use (even if I want to do something high-load it's usually less than 30 seconds), but full disclosure so there it is. Graphics: I haven't tested them in great detail but have had no graphics problems in the older games I prefer to play. WHO SHOULD BUY: Anyone who wants a lightweight great-screen great-keyboard well-performing laptop. This is the Lenovo equivalent of a Mac Pro. I'd buy these for my kids to take to college, in a heartbeat. WHO SHOULD NOT BUY: Anyone who is a high end professional programmer / IT guy and who will routinely try to push the limits of the i7 chip with long lasting high-CPU-demand stuff. Wait for the BIOS fix to cooling.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Powerful, elegant, and thermals under control I bought this P1 Gen 2 with i7-9850H/16GB/512GB/FHD 500 nits (part# 20QTS00B00) when I found the T590 wouldn't have the FHD option I wanted and the sale price was almost the same. I am very glad I bought the P1. I was concerned that the thermals and battery life would be an issue after seeing reviews of the 1st generation P1 and X1 Extreme. After installing all updates and setting power mode with the Lenovo Vantage app, I managed to bring them way down by undervolting and tweaking with the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. Now, under full cpu load I can keep the temp under 70 C. Under normal use, the temp hovers around 45 and battery life is about 8 hours. Charging the battery is very quick, as advertised. The fan never runs unless under significant load. When it does it is very quiet. The FHD 500 nit (72% NTSC/100% sRGB) anti-glare display is simply gorgeous; blacks are dark, contrast is great, and colors are crisp and vivid. It is bright enough to use in any lighting situation without glare. There is no wobble of the display when typing. The keyboard is exquisite to type on. About the best there is on a laptop. The finish of the exterior is elegant, smooth and pleasing to the touch. Fingerprints haven't been an issue for me. The machine is ridiculously thin and light, but very sturdy. The available ports are generous and located along the left and right sides. The fingerprint reader is precise making logon fast. I don't use the web cam and appreciate the built-in privacy cover. The mouse pad is silky smooth and precise with a pleasing tactile click. My typical usage includes compiling code with Visual Studio, alongside a SQL server database activities and a development web server, as well as light image and video editing, office productivity, some gaming, and multimedia streaming. It has performed exemplary in all cases, running multiple applications without a hiccup in performance. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the P1/Gen 2 and highly recommend it. This is a very capable, powerful machine in a very thin and light package. If you are a heavy gamer of A titles, then you might want to look at a dedicated gaming machine. For those doing intense video applications or other CPU/GPU intensive work, then the new Lenovo P53 or P73 may better suit your needs. This is by far the best laptop I have ever used. Well done Lenovo.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My First Thinkpad, Now a Fanboy! This is my first Thinkpad, and i love it. It's super quick. I bought the model recently on sale with the I7 9750h and 1080p 300nit screen, and its amazing. The screen is plenty bright for me, and i don't regret not getting the brighter screen considering the sale I got this bad boy at. It does well with everything I throw at it. My favorite thing about this machine, has to be the keyboard. After shopping around, most of the competition offer similar specs, but what they don't offer, is Lenovo's build quality. This thing is top notch. I can say without a doubt, buy this laptop!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the sleek design! So it finally arrived! I really like the overall design and performance of the laptop. My main issue was Wi-Fi connectivity and then realized my router doesn't support Wi-Fi 6 and had to disable some features in order to connect to the internet. For the value, it is quite steep for a laptop but I was in the market for something more functional for work/school purposes. Some applications I use require a lot of memory and power which this laptop can easily generate. I just wish the price tag wasn't so high, especially for how long it took to arrive.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Powerful, versatile, light/portable with a few con Pros: The ThankPad X1 Extreme Gen 2 is sleek powerful machine. Definitely a big upgrade from a 6 year old T530 I had. I wanted something just as powerful (and better) to use as a main work computer but also portable to carry around in a backpack. This machine fits the bill. The machine is very fast (latest processor, etc.), I like the big trackpad that also acts as bottons. The screen is very nice and bright. Also, main reason I chose Extreme rather than Carbon is the fact that you can put more memory, storage and such as it comes with extra bays to expand. I don't care for touchscreen much, so I didn't get that and I'm happy with it. Cons: When putting ubuntu on, we initially had some problems finding the wifi. Only with the latest ubuntu (19.10), we were able to find the wifi. Unfortunately, the fingerprint reader doesn't work with ubuntu! This is a big minus! :( and the fan can be quite loud - the machine sounds a bit like a jet engine when it comes on. One more minus was that I just got a black screen of death today after not much use (only a few weeks). I was able to salvage the presentation file I was working on. Hope that doesn't happen again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I want to love it but its way too hot This machine idled at 70C with NOTHING installed right out of the box. Hasn't gotten much better. It's hot, loud, and for as big as the battery is I cant go anywhere without the charger. The "soft" finish on all the plastic feels nice at first but it scratches VERY easily and picks up spots and marks like nothing else Ive seen on any laptop. Trackpad is fine, keyboard is my favorite on any laptop I've used. 4k non-touch screen is nice. Generally runs all kinds of software very well. Great IO, fingerprint reader is cool too and works well. The "carbon fiber" top cover is a joke. Its not nearly so nice as it looks in the picture, it's effectively the same finish as the rest of the laptop with a visual texture to go along with it. I want to love this laptop. I should love this laptop. But it runs so hot and loud its nuts.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Extreme Speed I did not buy it or even look for it. I am a 100% disable Veteran and it was given to me by the Veteran's Administration. I was asked to sent them 3 possible computers I would like. They responded by sending me 3 ThinkPad's for me to choose from. I chose the Think Pad X1 Extreme Gen 2 and I am glad that I did. My old computer was a third generation Lenovo I-3 Laptop. Both are 15.6 Laptops and once you get past that there are no comparisons. As the name states "extreme", this is the single word that says it all. That is with the submission of My wife's Dell 6th Generation I-7. The Think Pad X1 Extreme Gen 2 wins on all levels, Extremely light weight, Extremely fast, Extremely fast WIFI card, Extremely compact size "all dimensions are smaller except all 3 are 15.6 ly screens, Extremely less heat output and I could continue but, lets just say it was an Extreme gift from The US Veterans Administration.

I later rectified the problem by undervolting the CPU and changing some power settings (it isn't a big deal and there are simple online tutorials and articles about how to go about doing so) so that I get ~8.5 hours of battery life now.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The perfect solution after much searching Coming from a gaming laptop I was looking for a laptop that could play AAA titles (not necessarily at highest resolution), could handle virtual machines and heavy statistical analysis, as well as look professional all while being light and transportable. I tried out several competitors (XPS 15, Huawai Matebook X Pro, even a ThinkBook 14s), but the form factor or the keyboard or the performance just weren't there. The X1 keyboard is everything I wanted and more, fits my hands perfectly, and the layout is perfect with the spacing around the arrow keys. The trackpad is precise and responsive and the screen brightness is more than adequate; I only set to 100% in full sunlight and the "300-nit" HD screen looks beautiful. The speakers aren't going to win any awards but they do their job. It would be *much* nicer if they were upwards firing as many other manufacturers are trending with their high-end devices.

Thinkpad has now become my favorite keyboard as well, it used to be macbook but i never experienced a keyboard so smooth and easy to type on.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fast and great keyboard Really fast notebook, good keyboard compared with other brands. Great to see that there is a physical switch for the camera. I could setup a dual boot with Ubuntu Linux 20.04 without problems, and I didn't need to disable secure boot and even the fingerprint reader works. The screen reflects just a bit of light witch is great when working in places with too much light, compared with the more normal reflective screens you found in normal laptops, so it was a key feature when I decided to purchase this. To be improved: the startup process is not slow but average, taking a few seconds compared with 1 second have another ultrabook I had in the past from another brand.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from ThinkPad quality is slipping The screen periodically flickers after two days of use. And the fan is loud. While the keyboard is great, I’m disappointed with this, my 4th ThinkPad.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lots of power in a lightweight pacakge The X1 is very powerful, surprisingly light, and has great ergonomics. The diversity of ports has been helpful for me as a power user. This laptop runs Creative Cloud apps with no hiccups, and the ethernet adapter lets me take full advantage of gigabit fiber. I had a few hiccups with Lenovo system updates to start, and the display is OK but not great. But no major complaints. This is a very good laptop.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 2 Amazing performance in a relatively light device. The UHD screen is great step up from my previous 1080p device. The keyboard is very satisfying to use. Only complaint is battery life gets considerably shorter with more intensive tasks, but that is expected with any device.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great performance... not so great ergonomics Performance - excellent for a laptop and even for a desktop. CPU and memory benchmarks put it very high. The GPU - an nVidia GTX 1650 is quite good for a laptop and performance with Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro are quite good. Photoshop will run excellent on it. 3D renderings using various software (Autodesk Fusion 360 works great and there isn't any real problems in that area. Compiling (Visual Studio C++) is quite quick as you would expect. Performance of muti cores The ergonomics of laptops normally are not very good and this is true of the X1 Extreme. The Fn and Ctrl are easy to mess up (though Lenovo allows you to swap them it is still a bit of a pain). The keys are also a bit difficult to type on. It just feels a little cramped even after using it for many weeks. Battery life is decent... I've ran it on power saver mode and got about 4 hours out of it with some heavy use. Not great but I normally plug in everywhere I go anyway. It doesn't come with Ethernet and you need to buy an adapter. There is a slot for this but Lenovo makes it unclear which adapter to buy. This needs to be addressed. But overall performance is the most important thing for me and this laptop is quite good for the size and weight. It's a keeper.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Exceptional work laptop, workable for games. Has been exceptional for work, and gaming on mid quality graphics, or games that don't require a heavy workload. As a software engineer this has been able to handle my personal project development needs, running visual studios and building small libraries and web apps easily. Gaming pushes it into performance mode, I've been playing Gloomhaven and Witcher 2 and it has handled it but I turned the graphics down a bit to mid, below mid. The fan definitely starts working overtime. As I got this primarily as a laptop I could do personal work on, and maybe play a few games on it, it has done exactly what I was looking for it to do. So not a gaming laptop but great for what I needed it to do, be able to travel easily with me and work on it. I'm running the version with... - i7-9850H Processor with vPro™ (2.60 GHz, up to 4.60 GHz with Turbo Boost, 6 Cores, 12 Threads, 12 MB Cache) - Display Type: 15.6” FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS, anti-glare, Dolby Vision™ HDR 400 , 500 nits - Memory: 32 GB DDR4 2666MHz (2 x 16GB) - Hard Drive: 1 TB PCIe SSD - Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1650 Max-Q 4GB GDDR5

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is a great addition to the fleet! Great laptop! I'm a ThinkPad guy. I own 5 of them currently.i wouldn't change it for the world. The X1 series is a cut above the rest in so many ways. The durability and power are the two most important qualities for me when purchasing. Yes, it is true that there is an added cost but for me it is inconsequential. Also, buy the extended warranty. Lenovo's service is too notch. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one. The X1 Extreme is a bigger machine than my X1 Yoga's or X1 tablet which makes it easier to use especially with large documents and spreadsheets. Initially, I was concerned that it would be bulky and reduce its potability but it is so thin and lightweight that you don't even notice it's size and fits in all of my bags nicely. The battery life is great and if you spend the extra money you can get a screaming i7 processor, RAM and SSD which will make everything better and fast! This is a great machine. Get one!

This model with a i7-8665 CPU, 16G RAM and 512G SSD is an high performance, robust and predictably high quality laptop. Conventional slickness and style, simple looking but fast and effective, superior keyboard and connectivity. It is quite quiet and cool in normal use. Appreciate the sound quality, above most laptops (frontal to the user). I use the SD micro card as an extra hard drive, very inconspicuous and convenient.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A almost perfect laptop I bought my laptop about two weeks ago but I wanted to use it in my daily life before giving an honest opinion about it. The specifications for my laptop are: 16 gb of ram, 1 TB hard disk, with the GTX 1650, resolution of (1920x 1080) and windows pro. I am a college student but at the same time I do light gaming so I thought this computer would be ideal for me. After two weeks I am very satisfied with it, it is lightweight, fast and the keyboard is wonderful. The problems in my case are overheat, and the short battery life. Using the computer only for internet browsing and using programs like word, and excel I managed to get around 4 hours of battery life. When using the computer for gaming the battery lasts for 2 hours, using it full charge. The next problem for me was that, I regularly use the computer on my legs, but due to the design of the computer it was obstructing the work of the fans, since its window are located on the bottom and not on the sides, like the other computers. The computer was getting too hot, to the point that it burned my legs, but I solved the problem by buying a pad fan on amazon. This adds around $ 30 to the cost of the computer, however it is totally worth it. Now I no longer have the problem of overheating, however it is a shame that I have to use an extra accessory due to the design of the computer.

Overall it's still a good laptop, high-end configuration and good performance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from An honest review I've had my X1 Extreme Gen2 for 9 months now. I don't understand all the 5 star reviews for this expensive machine. It is a great design with its slim form and options for expansion. However, there are so many things that could have been done better or disclosed better. First, if you configure the computer with a 4K display, your battery life will never even get close to even half of the "14 hr battery life". Yes, I understand things can vary based on configuration, but I'm lucky to get 4 hours of battery life?!? Maybe you need to quote battery for 2 variations of the model: 4K and non-4K. I mean come on, that's like a third of the time. Second, and most annoyingly, there are known typing issues with these units -- just read the support forum. Every attempt to remedy this has been not fully effective, and many on the support forum get denied by support that there is even an issue. If you type on it, you will understand. Third, the thermals on the computer must be under-engineered, as the fans spin up all the time on me and when that happens, the computer gets throttled slower. I bought this specifically for the discrete graphics in order to do 3D modeling. The fans are blasting full speed with my software sitting at idle using 15-20% CPU. I don't get it. These are the three main things that would cause me to spend my money on something else if I had to do it over. I've used Thinkpads my entire life, but this one doesn't meet the mark.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid all-arounder My use case is primarily productivity tasks with some mixed-media use sprinkled in; think a "daily-driver" machine Pros: Classic design and form factor that is standard in the Thinkpad line, pretty display with true to life colors (UHD model) ,fingerprint free top chassis. Cons: Battery life is subpar on UHD display models, about the amount of bloatware you would expect on a new laptop. Overall impression: With a discount (not hard to find) the X1 Extreme can be a great performance - price proposition, with basically any spec you could want. Just don't buy one full price

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No issues so far. Good machine. So far so good. Ordering from the outlet was quite a savings and the machine, while not packed in typical retail packaging, was in perfect new condition. Specs were as described, computer runs great. Battery life is about what I expected for the upgraded 1080p display. I can get a full day of work in on medium settings. Fans can get loud but while on battery and on "Better battery" mode they almost never spin up. The finish does attract oils and fingerprints but it's manageable. Keyboard is as advertised but requires a little more activation force than I was used to on my t420. A few hours of using it and I don't really notice anymore. Will come back here in a few months to update of needed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Runs hot, has issues with Windows out-of-the-box Device had significant issues running Windows 10 and rendering video at 4K or 1080p60fps, even after explicitly setting the graphics card to run Firefox/Chrome. Lenovo Warranty Support was unable to resolve my issue, but confirmed it wasn't a hardware problem with BIOS system checks. Ended up switching to Linux and had absolutely no issues since. Be warned, this device runs hot under any load (A 4K30fps Youtube video will send the CPU temps over 60C, even when using the GPU for primary rendering), the cooling solution (2 small fans and a few respectable heat pipes) is not sufficient for workstation use. A 280mm external cooling fan/laptop stand does the trick, but it's not ideal. For 4K video you really do need to rely on the Nvidia graphics card. I got the i7 6 core-12 thread variant, I can't imagine putting an i9 in this machine, it's just going to thermal throttle. The 720p webcam is a bit sad when paired with a 4K display, somebody at Lenovo needs to think that pairing through again, but the 720p camera is bandwidth friendly.

Also, I think I read somewhere that Type C adapters have some issues and that there is a possibility that the motherboard will need to be replaced in a year or so. Also, I read that in most laptops the thermal paste on cpu is not that preciously added, so re-pasting will need to be done. Etc. Overall, it is a great laptop if you want to use it with Windows, but with Linux - you will have some problem with it (overheating, re-pasting needed and overvolting, etc.). So, Lenovo, it would be great if you could focus a bit more on Linux users and their needs and make this great laptop even better. Best regards.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect! Been looking for the perfect laptop. For the past 7 months I bought 3 different laptops, one after another. Resold them all until I saw a great deal for this model. This will stay with me for quite awhile.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing! Almost Perfect This laptop is one of the most powerful lightweight laptops under 4lbs. The keyboard is extremely gratifying to type on. The 500 nit display is gorgeous. It does have some thermal throttling but it performs great for the most part! The GTX 1650 is great for 3D modeling, runs most 1080p games at High (Not at Ultra and has Windows Hello if you opt for either Dolby Vision display! However be wary of quality control issues from laptop to laptop. I had to replace my first one because the keyboard was not good and the screen was backlight bleeding a ton. The replacement I received remedied all of those issues however.

I am a storm chaser and need to be able to render video quickly while keeping my eye on the radar and providing severe weather information back to media sources so I needed a machine that would be able to do many things at once and although other machines could have done what I needed, I decided to load up with power and memory.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fast, but watch the batteries I love the speed of this laptop, definitely an upgrade from the Yoga 15. It is super light and portable as advertised. Still taking some time to get used to the keyboard (since it is slightly smaller and lacking the number pad, but given its size, totally understandable), but it types super smoothly as always (Thanks Lenovo!). The images displayed are beautiful. The only things I find lacking thus far with the laptop is that there is no touchscreen option (which I can totally understand, although am just a hint disappointed by) and the battery life (be sure to ALWAYS carry your charger with you).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great laptop with its quirks This is a solid laptop. I do, however, regret not waiting (until Feb 6th) for my custom build which included the higher-resolution screen. I’m a software engineer and having that extra real estate would have been great. That aside, this is one of the best laptops I’ve ever used. It is fast. I mean lightening fast. It comes with relatively large SSD storage (1TB). I can fill that up quickly but at least I know I have room for the time being. My last laptop ran out of space after I finished setting it up. Now for the cons... I do have two complaints: 1. Lenovo installs too many bloatware apps (fortunately they can be removed with relative ease). As a developer I prefer a bare bones OS that is free to use the resources it needs without having to compete for them. As a home user you might find some of these apps useful but do keep in mind that every app uses disk space, memory and CPU... and that means it’s no longer available to the important things. 2. This has been discussed in other reviews but the cooling fan is too LOUD. My wife could probably blow dry her hair with it! Aside from that, so far, everything has been great. I guess we will see how it holds up in the long run.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great laptop with minor quality control issues. Pros: Powerful laptop! This is the combination work/play machine that I had been looking for for awhile now. The OLED screen is gorgeous and for the screen size it’s still pretty compact and tight. Cons: while the OLED screen is beautiful it does tend to go through its charge faster than I would like. I bought and upgraded the system memory (added another 16GB for a total of 32GB) and added a 1TB SSD module to the second slot, when I was removing the screws that held the bottom panel in place I noticed the front middle screw was never tightened. The cause was confirmed when I replaced the panel after adding the memory and could not tighten the screw (it kept spinning). The screw hole was too big/stripped.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from X1 Carbon Extreme - Top choice Lsptop Just upgraded from a gen 3 X1 Carbon, which has served me well. Took a jump up the X1 Carbon Extreme Gen 2. Built quality is exceptional, display is excellent, as always the keyboard and touchpad can't be beat. I just loaded Autocad 2021 and it loads faster than ever before and zomming in and out of drawings has never been smoother. The Extreme is slightly larger and heavier than the X1 carbon but its well worth it for the larger screen and video card. Battery life has been great i can get a full 8 hour day in and still have battery life. The aluminum frame seems to be very sturdy and the outer case does show some fingerprints it looks very classy and it should hold up well i carry my laptop with me daily so i expect a few scuffs and dings. I would highly recommend the X1 Carbon Extreme for any serious users who dont want the bulk of a more traditional workstation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A few nits but in general very happy Very happy with this after customization. Out of the box had screen tear issues when scrolling. not sure if my turning on vertical sync or an update fixed this. Also I enabled battery friendly mode so charges to 80% and stops and charges again when drops under 75%. NICE FEATURE in the Lenovo app to enable that! Makes battery last longer. The reflections on the OLED touch screen wasn't as bad as I thought... so didn't need a matte screen. The battery life is only about 4 hours of usage time so that is a disappointment (though i can move the slider to get more time. Also the sound is a bit on the weak side... would be nice if the speakers were on top. Also, the microphone needed to be boosted to get full modulation during conversations.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best Laptop I've Ever Owned Though I have not had a lot of time to really dig into this system, first impression is just wow. I happened to have 32gb ram and a 1Tb nvme available, and this thing FAST. Initially I had been looking to just get a laptop for school use come fall, but figured I would get something a bit nicer for personal use and i'm glad I did. My 4K (Non OLED) display seems fairly balanced as well, no light bleeding in corners like one of my monitors does. While the bezels are thicker than some other premium laptops, I honestly welcome it on this machine, they just make it work somehow, everything about it just feels and looks top tier in my opinion. Fingerprint reader is reasonably fast (I have not compared to facial recognition as I don't plan to use that feature in particular). The keyboard is as always, world class. Feels better than anything available in the local stores I visited before deciding to go with a ThinkPad. I have not had an opportunity to benchmark the machine but I highly doubt it will have any trouble at all pushing games or entertainment/art/coding programs (my personal primary use cases). Just be sure to lower your resolution and settings during games if you are looking to get better FPS. 4K gaming is not exactly non-problematic on laptops, especially when not using eGPUs. (I am also running it with a 9th Gen i7 Non-vPro, to anyone curious) One complaint would be the initial startup, mine would just stay stuck at the Lenovo logo and sleep if I didn't prompt it to access the bios. However after changing my boot order to WD>Samsung>etc. and set the system time to be accurate I loaded immediately into the windows setup. So simple, sub-1 minute fix. Disassembly is simple enough as all of the screws stay in their positions, so you don't have to worry about accidentally losing one. Delivery more than met expectation as I was informed of a 3 Weeks to ship, plus shipping time. However the system was completed in just 8 days and arrived over the weekend (With expedited shipping). I'm unsure if this had anything to do with ordering lower spec in things like ram/storage but regardless it was a welcome surprise. Now I just need to have that case come back in stock... (Will update if anything changes/happens)

Little heating at the bottom of the screen as the exhaust is designed there. Nice Skin, carbon fiber. Integrated graphics fails on update. SCreen brightness cannot adjustable after update. But works with nvidia graphics pretty well. But less battery life if you do so. System is pretty fast as I have I7 9750H 6 core and 16 GB ram.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Overall Great, Minor inconveniences Overall, I love this Thinkpad. It has a great feel on the keyboard and so far has performed very well. The only aspects that I am not a huge fan of are that when the computer is on, the power light is always on in the corner of the keyboard, when the laptop lid is closed (Sleep mode) the red dot on the Thinkpad logo just flashes on and off until the laptop turns fully off, and one thing I never knew until I got one is that on Lenovo laptops the Fn and Ctrl keys are switched around. This can be programmed to be changed, but it is quite annoying if you use the Ctrl key a lot and are used to it being in the corner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great lightweight workstation. Im an architect and I use this laptop daily for AutoCAD, Sketchup, and VRay rendering when I’m away from the office. Despite its slim profile and light weight, this laptop is powerful, keeping up with my desktop workstation. It is a pleasure to use. The UHD display is bright and colors very vibrant. The keyboard is good, though I’m still getting used to the lack of a number pad and the fn and ctrl keys being swapped. Battery life is so so, but not bad considering that it has a nvidia gpu, 6 core i7, and uhd display. It’s fine for a few hours at the coffee shop or whatever. I use throttlestop to undervolt the cpu and that has made a very noticeable speed difference. I got about 2800 on Cinebench. I bought this refurbished and have been very happy with the investment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is the MacBook replacement I needed. The laptop's hardware is on point. The screen is absolutely beautiful. I wish it charged via USB-C instead of a propriatary charging port. I went with the windows home edition (cheapest), with the intention of running a Linux distro. I wish that there was a Linux option and that it shipped with Lenovo support.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Poor initial quality When I received this computer, it had a flashing or blinking problem with the display. The display would very briefly go blank and then back on again. Nothing was lost, however it would blink as often as several times per minutes, and sometimes 1/2 hour between events. Worked with support for over a week - try this driver, try that driver. Finally support told me to download the latest May Windows update and install that. But the May update is known to cause many problems with Lenovo machines. (Forbes Rather than spend 3 days downloading, reimaging, reinstalling all of my software, data etc.. I returned the machine. In summary: 1) the machine did not work correctly out of the box 2) the burden should not be on the customer to try to get it working

Rated 5 out of 5 by from An outstanding product with room to grow As a loyal follower of the Thinkpad line for many decades now, I recently gravitated towards the X line as mobility becomes a necessity (both for work and personal). After a few years with the X1 Carbon I began seeing the need for a bit more power as my needs increased at work (AppOps), home (Gaming), and hobbies (photography/filmography). With a custom desktop at home I knew I didn't need the P series as I could off load the super-heavy lifting to that machine but ultra-books just didn't have the horsepower on the road. X1-Extreme had the balance for me. Power, ports, screen, and the glorious keyboard, there isn't much this machine compromises on. The 15 inch screen is almost too much for travel but it still feels smaller and lighter than the Dell XPS 15's my job hands out. For those that are adventurous with hardware, re-pasting the CPU and GPU along with a little under-volting the CPU goes a long way to reduce heat and get a few more minutes of battery life out of the machine. Over-all, this beast of a machine will have a long life in my household. It's a dying breed of laptops that can be upgraded (RAM + SSD) to keep up with the newest models. Not to mention the after-market on Thinkpads has always been amazing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Beauty & Power So far, I love it. After years of using a MacBook pro, I switched to the "dark side" to save money. Although I miss the OS operating system and the fact that the "windows key" gets in the way of some of my habitual short cuts (copy, cut, paste)..I'm adjusting. Also the touch pad drives me nuts because if I click on the right side of it, it's a right click! ugh! Okay... I'll get over missing the mac. The graphics on this laptop are mind blowing! I've been playing "second life" and the differences are remarkable... and everything is super fast. The touch screen is also a huge benefit. The fingerprint scanner is a time saver. Love that. The laptop itself is a fingerprint magnet... but that's an issue I can live with. The keyboard is really nice. Love it. So... it's fast, powerful, good looking and has dazzling graphics. I've only had it a couple weeks, but other than my struggle to adopt a Windows 10 lifestyle...I give this laptop 5 stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from lightweight powerhouse! As a professional photographer/videographer working on large 30 Meg Raw image files and larger HD video files, I needed a system that is powerful, yet portable enough to take on location and process image adjustments, filters and layers in real-time, the X1 Extreme has met that need thanks to its onboard GeFroce GTX-1650 GPU and 32 GB of system memory. Beyond its solid build and ultra vivid HD display, the color accuracy is well, stunning yet not over-saturated which is vital for image procession. Having a full compliment of ports such as dual Thunderbolt and an SD card slot means I can take a card straight from a camera and import mages quickly and without cables, or connect high-speed devices such as drives. The reliable Lenovo keyboard and layout makes typing easy and a joy. Battery life is sufficient even at high performance though I typically run off AC most of the time. If I were to suggest other options it might be a wider range of GPU's, additional battery life, though that is a complex problem with trade-off's and a smudge-free case, the latter certainly not a deciding factor All in all the X1 Extreme has worked well thus far and I envision it will continue to do so for many projects to come.

Have chosen X1 Extreme because of the i7-9750H, smart card reader and finger scanner. Using it together with Thunderbolt 3 Gen 2 135W dokk for almost 2 weeks now and have no issues, except that I unexpectedly have to use it together with 135W AC adapter. Without AC adapter there is not enough power to charge laptop if it connected only to Thunderbolt 3 Gen 2 135W dokk. Smart card reader id ok and finger scanner work very fast and no issues so far.

The keyboard and trackpoint is awesome, X1 line users wont be disappointed. 4K OLED is nice, but the visible mesh is noticeable on light areas, although after a week I got used to it. Had a dent in the center of the screen. It can be spotted under a certain angle on a black screen. Battery life is a bit low 2+ hours, but it was expected for the 4K touch model. I like the possibility to extend RAM and put additional NVME drive into it. Does not look bulky after using X1 Carbon.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The Hottest Tamale, for better (and worse) This is my second Lenovo to date, and I can confidently say it might be the last brand of computer that I purchase moving forward. The Thinkpad lineup obviously has a very storied history, from the rugged looks and the signature red Trackpoint, and a very loyal following, and I can see why. It's a very straight-forward and to the point machine; no RGB, no colorful accents, no gaudy badges. It's just above average performance in an average looking chassis with excellent build quality, and I love it for that simplicity. My spec, the 8 core 9880H with the 1650 Nvidia card is a monster, but only if you can cool it, which out the box just is not a reality. This is to be expected though, with performance continuing to increase while sizes decrease. Only after upgrading the thermal compound to liquid metal did the true performance of this machine become realized, with temps dropping from the mid 90s on all cores with up to 5 cores thermal throttling to mid 70s at the most, low 80s if pushing something intensive. I have stably managed 4.7ghz during some intensive task, and have stressed test for hours, and it's absolutely unflappable. I would assume for most the 6 core 9750H will probably be more than enough, esp if you're not hands on and don't want to dig in and address some of the cooling concerns, but if you're looking for maximum performance and maximum future proofing, you really can't beat the 8 core option. Video editors and even gamers rejoice, it's basically a thin and light with desktop beating performance, should you choose to cool it properly. Additionally, port selection is awesome, with 2(! full fat 40gbps Thunderbolt 3 ports, which I can personally confirm work flawless with an egpu, an RTX 2080 in this case. I comfortably pull 90-100 fps on 1080p on ultra via HDMI to my TV on some recent titles, so that's just an added bonus should you choose to inject some leisure in your schedule. Overall, the excellent trackpad, the very nicely progressive keyboard, the excellent 4K screen and very good battery life make for a truly compelling package. No, it's not cheap, but you get what you pay for, and if you want one of the best laptops money can buy, jump on the Lenovo website and see what summer sale you can grab, and join the Thinkpad community. It will likely be the best tech purchase you make this year.

Even for heavyweight tasks such as training machine learning methods (which is what I primarily use it for), which require both substantial RAM and GPU, it can keep up with the demand. 3. The chassis is very hardy and the devic is surprisingly lightweight given what it packs in. Cons: 1. The battery drains very quickly, so it has to be plugged in most of the time. 2. The laptop gets heated very quickly when running heavyweight tasks, so I'd recommend using a cooling pad for such circumstances. Overall, this laptop is excellent value for value and certainly lives up to its billing.

We beat on those things as it happens in a War Zone but they never let us down. They always turned on and worked properly. That is what swayed me to my purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic overall linux laptop The keyboard is fantastic (although maybe not quite as good as my old T520), the trackpad is the best I've used in a PC laptop, and the screen (4K IPS) is stunningly beautiful. Also, it works really well with linux (Fedora 32), at least with the integrated graphics (I plan on using the nvidia chip for cuda, but not really for graphics). The battery life could be a bit better, but I haven't run powertop yet so there might still be some battery efficiency left to claim. Also, it's very light. Overall, I love it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Finally Got My Dream Laptop After months of obsessively hunting for the right laptop that can balance both business and leisure for myself, I finally dove in and invested in this lovely machine. Though it cost a little more than I was planning to spend, I ultimately chose it over many other brands and models due to the glowing recommendations I received from others who have used Lenovo's products and many practical features I have come to appreciate. The position of the Fn key does take some getting used to and I wish the battery life could be better, but it's hard to beat the quality of the machine, the ability to upgrade with ease, the number of vital ports that will prevent me from depending on dongles, and a wide array of other thoughtful perks and features that I'm still getting the hang of. My review may be subject to change later down the line after using this machine for some time, but after having used it non-stop out of the box for over a week for both work and light gaming, I have no complaints.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Battery Life is Unimpressive There are many reasons to give this computer 5 stars, but one of the main things I look for in a laptop is battery life. The ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 2 is advertised on the Lenovo website to have "up to 14 hours battery life." Based on my experience with my new Lenovo laptop, I find that claim to be absolutely false. At best I am lucky to get 5 hours, usually more like 4. While I like many other features of this computer, this is a huge disappointment as I feel like I must always be near a power source.

My configuration was pretty powerful and fact that the RAM and the Storage can be upgraded is a HUGE pro. Props to Lenovo for great accessibility. Two things that bother me are that the fn and ctrl keys are flipped, at least from what I am used to. Also the pg up and pg dn buttons are too close to the left and right arrow keys, so I often find myself jumping down screens when I only want the next page. Other than that, it’s a good product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice computer terrible documentation. I am happy with the laptop with the exception that Lenovo tells you in several places that it works with the same docking stations that the X1 Carbon does. I was replacing a X1 6th gen because I wanted more screen space. That computer is almost brand new. I figured I would bite the bullet because I really wanted the bigger screen and my docking stations would work according to Lenovo. I have two of the docking stations and was really upset with them to discover that my hot new laptop does not work with my docking stations. That is simply careless and reflects on their attitude towards customers. I called them and asked for help. They acknowledges that their website is in error yet the incorrect postings are still up and it has been a couple of weeks. They did offer me a credit of about $115 but I have TWO of those docking stations and I paid over $225 each. The incorrect docking stations are still presented as if they support the X1 series. They do not note that the X1 Extreme does NOT work with these stations.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Powerful, Quality Device with terrible drivers The hardware is flawless, powerful equipment in a great size and weight, with a truly beautiful OLED display. A few problems cropped up at the very beginning due to Lenovo's weak driver support, and their customer service team had no awareness or steps to resolve the known issue I was experiencing. If you purchase this laptop with the OLED display, be ready to see a tiny diamond shaped grid when at full brightness, it is more noticeable to some people than others. You should also be wary of using Lenovo Vantage, as the drivers it installed broke my function keys, and I couldn't turn down volume or brightness, and had to reinstall Windows and patch things through Windows to resolve that issue. 4 stars because the hardware and quality of the laptop are amazing. The fifth one is gone because Lenovo has never been good about drivers, but it's easy to get by with Windows automatically updating.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from White Elephant Computer Specifications: Intel UHD Graphics 630, i7-9750H, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB storage I learned from my experience with this product that benchmark performance is not necessarily the same as practical performance. I made this purchase while my older PC from 2016 was having battery issues, in order to participate in a summer college course. The external design of the Thinkpad X1 Extreme is great. The keyboard has just right amount of depth, and the OLED display is bright and colourful. The short battery life, a common downside noted by both users and reviewers, was not too much of an issue for me, as I am usually stationary in my computer use. I also believed the Synaptics audio drivers were too quiet. However, as I continued to use it past the money-back period, and then had my older PC to compare after its issue was fixed, I noticed that despite having higher specs, it was not performing as well as I thought it would. Smooth scrolling while browsing and Windows 10 animations were not as snappy as they were on the 1800p LED screen of my old laptop. But the dealbreaker was with video streaming. My old PC runs videos on Google Chrome with hardware acceleration enabled. Frame drops are minimal, staying at less than 0.1% on YouTube, while only dropping about one frame per second on Twitch VODs. In motion, it is not very noticeable. On my Lenovo, video playback is always choppy from consistently dropping 10-15 frames per second, browser hardware acceleration or not, and Twitch is even worse. The best I could do was with Microsoft Edge, which did not drop frames on YouTube in windowed mode, unless I had to open the menu during the video, in which case it nosedives briefly. This was never an issue on my older PC. I still do not know why this issue occured. Is 2.6 GHz not good enough for handling a 4K display? Are my browsers unoptimised? Is it the main Intel GPU itself? I submitted a service request, and recieved a distant onsite repair that replaced the board with its integrated GPU. I was satisfied communicating with the employee, but the repair did not solve the problem; it just made Edge act like all the other browsers unfortunately. Overall, my first-time experience with Lenovo was adequate, but not ideal. I still believe this obscure problem I have can be fixed, even if it requires outside support from a service provider, and I hope others find this description helpful.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from X1 extreme gen 2 laptop Overall worked quite well, but my order had some issues that needed to be solved by lengthy phone calls with Lenovo and Microsoft. I paid for Microsoft home and business 2019, but 365 came installed on the machine and after talking to Lenovo support and waiting on hold for hours, they couldn’t help and Microsoft had to fix things for them. That doesn’t really detract much from the laptop itself as it functions exactly as I expected, but worth mentioning. Additionally, I had to update drivers for a few things as it was performing a bit oddly in certain apps. After all of those headaches it works as I hoped it would out of the box. So I take off a star personally.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really nice laptop At first, it was definitely a bit of a pain. After letting windows update for about an hour or two, the settings menu wouldn't open up. Had to find a fix online (windows 10 update assistant). After that and a few tweaks to the trackpoint, its been a really nice laptop to use. Its quick, easy to use, comfotable to type with, and easy to set up passwords and such. Only gripe I have with it now is that the function key is in the bottom left corner instead of somewhere between the windows key and the spacebar. Not a huge deal, I'll probably get used to it. So far so good.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from First time User of Lenovo - X1 Extreme Gen2 Pros: Processing performance is pretty fast. I havn't had any noise of fan issue nor heating problem so far. Light weight and quality charger! . Love the camera shutter, secure your privacy when it is not in use. Light and thin body for 15.6" screen. On-Off Switch is safe inside near the keyboard. Wish there are num pads on this. Cons: Firstly, as other reviews said, the speaker is not as loud as other laptop that I have used. I have to turn the volume up high when I wanted to hear it clearly. Secondly, the FHD screen is just okay, the image of letters on the screen are not as sharp as I hope it should be for high resolution. I was concerned by battery life so I didn't want to choose UHD. Still, this FHD laptop lasts about 4-5 hours if I constantly used it all day. It would last 8 hours, if I don't use it as much during the day. Next, after a month of using, the fingerprint sign-in somehow stopped working for a short period, it disappeared for the sign-in options when the laptop started. So I looked up in the setting, found nothing wrong but still it didn't show up on the options when signing in. I had to try adding another fingerprint to stimulate it. It finally came back on the option at the startup page. Lastly, the material of this laptop needs to be improved, I strongly suggest Lenovo to do the research and find other kind of material for the body of this high-cost laptop. Wherever the fingers or hands touch on, it will make a grease print. I tried to clean it in many different way s, the prints were gone but they will come right back when I use the laptop. Pretty obnoxious. It looks like when kids finished eating and didn't wash their hands then use the laptop right away. My friend even asked me when he saw this laptop first time, "Is it a Used Laptop?". I guess that because of the dull-looking surface, he thought it looks old and I actually don't mind the dull-looking. It looks cool to me. But with this price range of a quality laptop, it could be better.

Other than that, this is by far one of the best Ultrabooks on the market that performs like a desktop. 5 stars!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from customer experience not on radar It appears that Lenovo does not care about their customer's first experiences with their products. It is bad enough that Windows needed multiple updates, but over 30 drivers also needed to be updated. This would have been simpler if they had bothered to install their own utility "Lenovo System Update for Windows 10 & 7". Also, as I got into my unit, I found one of the back cover screws to be stripped and the screw for holding in a second hard drive to be so tight that I needed to get a special screwdriver that I keep with my tools to remove it. Between these two, I'm wondering if the installation torque specifications are being followed at the factory.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing Laptop, but make sure you have a charger Laptop performs fantastically. Everything is fast and smooth, though it can get a bit warm, but that is expected with what’s under the hood. It has good thermals and doesn’t throttle often. My two biggest problems are the battery life and screen brightness. I have the HD panel that should be putting out 500 bits, though I usually only get low 400s even at max brightness. It also flickers occasionally. The battery is ok. At 80% brightness and power saving mode I get around 6-7 hours while web browsing/watching videos. Overall, though, I’m extremely happy with my purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Why ThinkPad X1 is better than other laptops I’ve had my ThinkPad X1 for a couple of weeks. My first impressions are that this laptop is more resistant than the Dell XPS 15 that I had before and that I’ll be able to use it without glitches for many years. The company I work for has given me ThinkPad laptops that have lasted for years with no issues, so I was looking for the most reliable and lasting computer available in the market and am confident that I got that with my new X1.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Decent thin and light, misleading customer service The computer has performed decently so far. It's slower for scientific computations than I was hoping, given the `extreme' marketing. The X1 Extreme I purchased (9th Gen Core i7-9750H and 16GB of RAM) is understandably much slower for basic calculations with Matlab, Mathematica, etc. than my previous custom gaming laptop (8th Gen Core i7-8700K and 32GB of RAM). I expected that trade-off for the thin-and-light form factor, but I was hoping that I would at least see a significant improvement over my five-year-old Thinkpad t490, and so far I have not. On the other hand, the keyboard and build are as nice as I was hoping, and it's a very nice computer to travel with. My experience with Lenovo's customer service has been very disappointing. I ordered this laptop with Lenovo's repeated assurance that they would meet a tight delivery deadline, and they did not. As a result, I ended up spending many hours on their customer service line with agents who were either misleading or rude, and in the end was forced to spend more than $150 extra to ship the item a second time.

Only downside is the power requirement for such a beast means my old startech docks won’t work very well. It needs the special Lenovo dock with extra power. I’ll be upgrading those next.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome Laptop with Horrible Battery Life By far the best laptop I have ever had. Super fast, no issues with a zillion chrome tabs, screen is awesome, keys have nice travel. I paired mine with one of the Lenovo portable screens and it's like I have my whole desk setup on the go within seconds. Overall it is great but it does have one drawback which is to be expected, the battery sucks. I fully expected this, with an i9 and 4k display I knew was going to have bad battery and I don't care. I use my laptop on battery infrequently and the device does last 3.5ish hours which is long enough for most domestic flights which is really the longest stretch when I use my laptop without power. So for me its great, would love a little better battery but not a deal breaker. Also as a plus it weighs about the same as my 13" surfacebook 2 (which could never perform like this X1 Extreme by a long shot.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gets the job done. It's alright. It gets the job done, but lacks many of the quality of life features you'd want from a laptop at the price. The good - The OLED screen is pretty - disk performance is reasonable - good ram configuration, and options therein - heat management seems fine - fans aren't super loud - bios is over-egineered in the best possible way - secure boot was easy to work with and didn't require dumping keys - per core performance doesn't experience much throttling The bad - The screen has a jay leno chin, in 2020 - The webcam adds a lot of space at the top of the mointor - Lid can't be opened with one fine - The keyboard is squishy rubber domes, they work, and that's all that can be said about them. - Broad incompatibilities with fedora, works fine with arch and ubuntu - Trackpad seems to have no idea what it wants to be. The click vs tap vs top button seems to try to please everyone, but ends up being underwhelming for everyone - Battery life, what's that? - Sleep mode also drains battery unexpectedly fast - Could easily shave off some inches on the case with no heat issues - Doesn't fit many 15" bags and sleeves

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Feels like quality I'm a lifelong mac user at home and desktop PC user at work, though I had a prior Lenovo laptop that I shared with someone at work for our occasional mobile needs. While this laptop matches the older one in terms of its solidity and sense of build quality- which includes a very solid keyboard plus a trackpad, buttons and a joystick that are all easy to use - the new one is lighter. Needless to say, it is also far more powerful, processing-wise and is outfitted with newer device ports than the older one, which matters a lot to me since I use it for processing photo and video. When I can, I connect it to two external monitors via the USB 3 ports. This functionality worked easily once the devices were connected. I prefer Macs for their ease of maintenance and PCs for their flexibility and wealth of keyboard shortcuts. When I use this Lenovo laptop, I don't feel like I've compromised in any way- it appears to have everything I need; it is easy to use, and everything works the way it should.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is a great machine! Don't underestimate it! I have been a lifelong owner of Lenovo and thinkpad devices(Thinkpad X120e->ThinkPad T440s->iDeaPad 510->ThinkPad X1 Extreme 2), and I have to say, I love this device. The build feels super durable, there is little to no thermal throttling, the fingerprint reader is snappy as is performance, and in my opinion this computer ticks everything that a computer could have. What makes this computer so great for me is how complete it feels. Sure there are other i9 and i7 laptops out there for way less, but this machine feels devoid of the minor design oversights and gripes of other devices. This computer is literally so good, that I can't list what makes it good, and that's coming straight from me, I know my stuff around tech, and I'm not a blind fanboy. The only gripes if anything I have with this machine are the fingerprints, but those usually fade within 10 seconds. People will always find something to complain about, but honestly... I think this is a true hidden gem, and I would consider it to be the best laptop I've handled in a long time. The battery does last less than per say a X1 Carbon, but the processor is also twice as fast, so makes sense. I think if your'e looking for a powerhouse machine that can handle everything you throw on it, remain portable with zero compromises, and last seemingly forever, this is the machine to get! Just do yourself a favour, and throw a linux distro such as Pop Os on here! Windows is such a waste of great hardware. Pros: * Build quality better than a Mac * All the goodness of a thinkpad * Absolute Powerhouse * Fingerprint Reader is insanely fast and reliable * Great Keyboard/Trackpad * I could go for days! Cons: * Works faster with manual undervolting * Keyboard ever so slightly more shallow than T440s] * Hard to Hackintosh * Fingerprints

The motherboard died the first year. The laptop has latency issues due to how it handles power, so not good for audio work. Lots of driver issues that caused blue screen crashes. The machine doesn't work well with Lenovo's own thunderbolt dock; I so miss having a machine that can be docked and just work without having to power cycle USB devices and monitors. The externals are still Thinkpad quality, and look and feel great, but I expected a more stable machine with fewer issues. I bought my daughter a gaming laptop for a lot less money that is faster and has never blue screened.

Being able to extend (or mirror) laptop display by connecting through hdmi port to either my 3d projector or PS4 VR set (using TrinusPSVR) is why I bought it and is very enjoyable. Main reason I gave it 4 out 5 rating is the battery drain, even in browsing mode it depletes faster then advertised.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Powerful Laptop I had this computer for about 1 month and so far, I am very satisfied with it. I did the BIOS update through Lenovo Vantage as soon as I got it so I did not experience throttling or the fan running too often. The fan will start when playing game or doing Lightroom or Photoshop processing as expected. I clearly see the performance compared to my surface pro 4 i7 on game loading times (20-30s for SP4 and 5-10s on X1 Extreme) Big improvements on Lightroom and Photoshop as well. Battery life is okay at 6h-8h on light tasks 3-4h on games (FHD screen helps as not as power hungry as a 4K screen would be) I have a few nitpicks: - the HDMI connection to an external monitor is glitchy in the sense that when moving the mouse or dragging a folder, it will be “jerky”. I need to sign out of windows and sign back in for the mouse movements to be smooth again. If I open the lid, it will be jerky again and I will need to sign out and sign back in again. The issues only appear when opening/closing the lid while connected to an external monitor - when restarting and keeping the lid closed, the movements are smooth. I have not tried a different HDMI cable nor did I try DP or USB-C cables as I do not want to buy those just to “troubleshoot” - which brings the wish that there was a side power button because, when using the laptop as a desktop at home, my start routine is: open the lid, push the power button, close the lid, sign in to windows using my PIN (external monitor shows my desk but mouse movements are not fluid), sign out of windows and sign back in using my PIN and I am good to go. It’s just an annoyance (takes 1-2min max) that hopefully will get addressed with future updates

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The perfect balance for a Graphic Design Machine I have made the rounds of different vendors and have circled back to Lenovo every time. I was originally looking for the ideal 2 in 1, but realized after I had the X1 Yoga (Gen 3 that I didn't really use the pen feature as much as I thought I would. The durability is the biggest pull for me with Lenovo, and even though they do not offer top tier graphics cards, I think that is probably for good reason. This is a solid machine at every angle, and thank you Lenovo for sticking to your guns with the primary interface portions of your laptops!!! Excellent screen, AMAZING keyboard, and great track pad! Watch and wait for the sales, and it is correctly priced against other competitors with the same specs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from WOW! What a great machine! I have purchased Thinkpads since the 700Cs in the 90s. It still works by the way. They are tough. I have not spilled my coffee on my new X1 or dropped it yet to see just how tough it is, but I am confident that it will withstand anything with that Thinkpad logo on it. The performance on the X1 is better than any machine I have ever owned. As an attorney, I type constantly. Although the keyboard doesn't annoy those around me as much as the mechanical keyboards on old Thinkpads, which I rather enjoyed, the keyboard on the X1 is excellent and allows me to type a little faster than before. The upgrade to the Extreme version was well worth it as the screen is brilliant and allows me to put two documents up at once while i am working.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent Business Laptop Purchased 2019 AUG. I buy a new laptop for my Navy Reserve duties every 8-10 years. key features for me include the latest 9th gen Core i7 processor, SSD, 16GB RAM, HDMI, USB-C, USB 3.0, and smart card reader. This laptop has a higher end graphics card, which is nice, but not needed for me. I can validate that the smart card reader can read my military CAC so that I don't need an external card reader to access my required military websites and software. Limitation: ThinkPads have that weird little pointing stick in the middle of the keyboard. I don't know anyone who uses it, and I don't either. It's just a minor annoyance. Important, the keyboard size is roughly a 93% normal size keyboard. If you have big hands like me, you *may* have trouble typing for longer periods of time. Highlights: backlit keyboard is nice, but hard to figure out how to toggle it on and off. With 16GB RAM and 500GB SSD, this computer boots quickly. The webcam and the fingerprint reader both work well for Windows Hello login. They don't really do anything for other websites that I might like to use that technology for.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid, lightweight and speedy Solid, lightweight, speedy can all describe this laptop. One disappointment is the keyboard. The keys require an unusual amount of pressure to register - or you need to be very precise in striking them in the center. But the laptop meets all my expectations of a modern (2019) laptop.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from So Far, So Good I ordered this laptop to use mostly for school, but also for personal use/browsing. Having used Lenovo PCs in the past, I knew I was getting a reliable & fast machine & this one does not disappoint. It will take a bit to get used to the keyboard, but that is because I have been exclusively using a desktop keyboard for years - that is an adjustment on my part, not a fault of the laptop design. The fingerprint feature is fantastic for quick unlocking in lieu of typing a lengthy password each time. It quickly connects to devices via bluetooth. I will primarily use a mouse, but the trackpad works great - very smooth & precise. So far, I am really enjoying this laptop. I am not one to update my technology often, & I anticipate this laptop will last me quite some time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Phenomenal device, lightweight and powerful Boght this about a month ago. The latop is absolutely phenomenal. I have a 13" dell XPS and this 15" laptop is lighter than my dell. Its made of a ligh material which unfortunately is a fingerprint magnet. When I used my laptop out of the box, the battery life as disappointing and fan noise was very loud, but then I downloaded all the updates to Windows adn the BIOS over the next whole day. After that, the machine has not disappointed me. There was a coil whine but that also went away with the BIOS updates. Configuration: i7-9750, 64 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, GTX 1650 (4 GB, 900 CUDA cores, compute capability :7.5, HDR 400 and 500 Nits screen. I paid 2400$. Battery: I use the browser(Jupyter notebook), VS Code, Matlab at all times. I only listen to audio using my headphones. I also use the GPU sometimes to run Torch code. Brightness is always between 60-70%. Battery always lasts >4.5 and sometimes 6 hours which is great for me. Keyboard : 200/10. Nothing comes close to thia keyboard. I have used all brands of laptops (Dell HP, Alienware and the pathetic Apple) but nothing comes close to this keyboard. Keyboard for me is a very important feature because I spend hours coding and typing. Screen is decent and brightness is good, Audio is also decent with speaker. I am giving this laptop 5/5. Lenovo has engineered a great machine. Does everything I expected. You can never get everything with such a lightweight machine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Robust hardware I bought this machine because it had a dedicated GPU and two M2 slots. I needed a second drive for Windows and Linux to be on the device. It currently has a few driver issues but that's because it has the latest and greatest hardware. Those issues are actively getting resolved. Particular WiFi issue on the AX200 where it will drop randomly on Windows only, but backporting the driver for Linux (kernel 5.0) has no issues. Intel has released several driver updates for this over the last month or so to try and solve the problem.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Powerful laptop with a great 4K screen (IPS) This is a fantastic laptop for professional use. When spec'ed appropriately you get great power, RAM and screen. I went for the 4K IPS screen as I don't like glossy screens and this one is matte. The laptop looks classy with it's black design and subtle carbon fiber weave showing through on the top lid. The trackpad works well although it's still not quite as good as a Macbook Pro trackpad and could be a little larger but the keyboard is absolutely fantastic and had a great feel to it. The only issues I have with it are battery life and potential QA issues at the factory. The battery life is just ok with about 4 hours of medium use. It really depends on what you're doing and how much you let the CPU boost (it has a handy power/performance balance bar tool in the sys tray. I would also assume that you'd get better battery life with a lower resolution screen. As for the QA issues, after waiting around 2 months for my machine to arrive from the factory, it had scratches on the screen. I returned it for another new one and after another month that one arrived and the camera privacy cover doesn't work. They offered to replace it again (pretty good customer service) but I didn't want to wait *another* month so I'm just going to live with it as I've never had one before so I'm not really going to miss it. Still quite a shame that build quality has gone down hill but with what's going on in the world at the moment perhaps things are being too rushed in the Chinese factories. All in all, overall it's a great machine for people that need the power in a sleek package.

Though I miss the old keyboard style of the T410s and my wife's T25 (7 rows and no space between the keys), the chiclet keyboard is a solid second. I just wish they would adopt the blue coloration for the enter key. I also wish they would find a way to make the Fn functions in blue, but I realize that is a bit harder with a backlit keyboard. Lastly, the new trackpad is quite nice, but I have never found the press to click trackpads to be the best. I find that I more frequently hit the right click instead of left click. I think they should bring back the dedicated bottom buttons on the trackpad. Other than that, this is an amazing machine with killer speed and a lot of upgradability. Looking forward to the next ten years with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best laptop I was looking at HP and Lenovo premium laptops and I decided to get Lenovo X1 carbon but as I did more research X1 Extreme performance is way better than X1 carbon and the bigger screen is more efficient, I do lots of work in the files so I got the Lenovo warranty for drops and damages, so far I love this laptop and I highly recommend it

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Battery life I bought this laptop a few months ago and I am not happy with 1. The battery life, 2. The inability to add or swap out an additional battery. Admittedly I am running optimized for performance on a high end version but 2.5 hours is rather poor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice, except the screen In general it is a very nice machine and compliments my P1Gen1 nicely. Would be 5 stars, but in less than a month of ownership and not taking it around, it appears to have a mark on the screen which is very frustrating for a laptop of this level/cost.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Everything I wanted, but... The product is excellent as are all Lenovo products I've owned to date. The only problem is it's supposed to be the X1 Gen 2. While it has all of the Gen 2 specs and updated 9th gen processor, it came in the Gen 1 body: with no carbon fiber lid. Small oversight, but one that I was looking forward to.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great everyday workstation I grabbed this laptop as soon as it came out so this is a review based on a very long term use. My main issue is with the battery. The battery completely died on me and I've had to get it replaced by support twice. Battery life is nowhere near 14 hours as it says in spec. Once I plug out, it normally shows I have less than 2 hours. I spent numerous days and hours searching and trying different suggestions on fixing the staggering mouse issue which happens when an external monitor is connected. It drove me nuts. I eventually gave up and changed the BIOS to always use the GPU. For someone in IT who spends 10 hours a day on the computer on average, apart from the aforementioned issues, this is a very sturdy laptop/workstation.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My current daily driver Good laptop, decent keyboard. I personally like the screen and how big and clear it is. However I personally would have liked the battery life to be a bit larger. The bottom panel is easy to remove though and I personally think that's great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best laptop Definitely do not regret buying this laptop. The past laptops I've had were cheap (financially). For this one, I decided to splurge a bit.

With 16gb of RAM and 512 gb of SSD, this laptop will last me for a while.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Disappointment I waited more than a year to write this review. Pros: Nice Feel and build material Great Screen with Dolby Vision Fantastic Keyboard Good Keyboard Lighting Light weight Matte Finish Cons: Speaker Location - Even though Dolby sound is boasted and sounds decent, it needs to be on a flat surface to get the "Dolby" effect. When putting the LAPtop on your lap, you lose a lot of sound because the speakers are located below the laptop. Glitchy Fingerprint Reader - Have to keep pressing my finger in different directions and in many cases still does not work. Fan Noise - the fan noise is very loud, even when just browsing videos on the web. I would expect that level of noise for video editing and rendering. Battery vs Performance - The site boasted about 14+ hours of battery life (see attached photo). Even with the laptop idling and energy saver mode, I have not gotten anywhere close to 14 hours. Also note, that with energy saver, the laptop is significantly slower. Mouse pad - I don't understand why the mousepad is not in the middle of the laptop, like how the Macs have it. My wrists get strain during lengthy uses of the laptop. Webcam - Absolutely terrible. Low quality, tiny aperture, white balance is way off. Even with all my lights on and my cellphone light pointed to my face, it was difficult for the person on the other end of the call to see me. "FN" key - I think many people have mentioned their gripe with the location of the FN key vs the CTRL key, I wish Lenovo could change it one day. I really wanted to like this laptop. But after a year of use, I see more and more the short comings of the laptop. The cons I mentioned are fixable. My work laptop, a Dell with about the same specs have most of these cons resolved. I love the ThinkPad series, so I really hope the next models coming out aren't as disappointing .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just about perfect I have owned several Lenovo laptops back to the T-20 that I still own. I need a laptop with a bit more graphic power than my current T-4505 model and with all the choices this one hit all of the check boxes but one. I just wish it had a 10 key, other than that it’s an awesome machine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from It’s ok but would not buy Lenovo product again It is okay but it’s a little over priced. Had problem placing the order too. Quality is not what I would expect from Lenovo; you can feel that the build material is “cheap”. I had a problem with the screen when I first set up the laptop. Battery is decent. Keyboard is the only decent part of the whole laptop. I think you can find a much better quality, way superior customer service, and reasonable price from other popular brands.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great machine for Architects and Engineers I am a self employed engineer in the Architecture-Engineering-Construction world. I recently needed a new laptop. I did my research, checked specifically what Autodesk required to run Revit and googled what other on-line reviews and recommendations were out there. Lenovo computers came up repeatedly as recommended machines. I have a Lenovo Yoga for home use and knew it was a tank. I appreciate that Lenovo allowed me to search and select computers by specifications. I was able to find exactly what I was after. I am thrilled with my laptop. I’ve been using it for about a month now. Revit models load quickly, sync quickly, and the response rate when I pan, zoom, edit, etc., is excellent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great portable laptop for 3D CAD software! Pros for this machine: very lightweight yet solid feeling, exellent selection of ports--including the dedicated power port (I'm not liking the trend of usb-c for all ports and power) and a SD card reader. The integrated camera cover is a great touch. Powerful I-9 processor and 4 gb video card. Keyboard feel and layout is the best around, but the backlighting functionality could be improved. Customizable chasis with easy to access RAM & (2) SSD slots. Cons: batterly life is poor with my 4K screen, and it gets warm when under full processling load, but those are fair compromises. I use this machine for architectural 3D cad software, its great!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lenovo Thinkpad 15" i9, 16G Ram, SSD Perfect laptop for what I need. i9 processor, 16 GB Ram, 500 GB SSD and more. I replaced my old Lenovo Yoga 2 pro with this one. At the time of purchase (Feb 2021), Corey, sales person from Lenovo, worked with me to get the best deal at the time for what I needed. I'm very pleased with this machine. I went from a 13" screen to 15" screen and the performance exceeds that of my old laptop which I passed down to my family members.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Every ThinkPad I buy is worse than the last one. After barely using it, I developed dead pixels. Now the screen is completely black, except for the splash screen and if I boot on a USB. So aside from the pixels, I'm guessing it's the GPU, which can't be replaced. I spent a fortune on this laptop and I wish I could give it back.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid Choice for Marketing Professional This is my first experience with Lenovo as I have been a loyal supporter of Asus in previous years. I decided to give this laptop a try because it checked all my boxes for performance standards. It may not look as fancy, pretty or unique as other competitors but it performs well and feels like it will last a long time. I like that the hinge is one long piece as other laptops I've had were two small hinges that broke down throughout years of daily use. The glare-free screen is a big plus compared to my last computer! The keyboard types nicely, however, the red toggle in the middle of the keyboard seems useless. One thing Lenovo could improve on is their audio and visual features. The speakers and camera are lacking compared to what I had on a cheaper computer of a different brand but those features are deal breakers for me as I use this laptop for work. Overall, great computer for doing my work as a Social Media and Email Marketing Professional!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Everything I was looking for... I spent months researching laptops before I decided on my purchase, and I could not be any happier with the one I made and price. I was looking for laptop that had a processor with at least 6 cores, with a 500 nits display, and graphics card so system memory would not have to be shared when required and could support multiple displays. I wanted a laptop that allowed the memory and SSD to be upgraded, as well as provide an option for a second SSD. I wanted port options for USB as well as Thunderbolt so I would not have to purchase new cables and external devices. I required a durable laptop for travel and remote use, so the Mil specs is a bonus. I wanted all this, and I wanted it at a reasonable price. I run several applications: Office 360; Visio Pro; VMWare Workstation Pro; GNS3; Cisco IOSv; Cisco Packet Tracer; Wireshark; Putty.; IntelliJ IDEA; Visual Studio Code; Corel Draw Graphic Suite. The Extreme X1 provides the performance and functions I require to do my job and training,. The Lenovo Extreme X1 has met my expectation and I am incredibly happy. Forgot to mention the keyboard, Awesome!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great PC but needs better dock/port rep options A beast of a PC for its size. The extremes are great PCs in a compact package especially with regards to the GPU and its capabilities. My only complain is the lack of a true dock or a more reliable port replicator. While the PC itself is mostly stable, I have had 2 extreme USB-C replicators stop working after either a bios update or thunderbolt update. In both cases, I ended up having to use a lesser port replicator. As a result of this, the USB-C port would behave oddly as well and it did not matter which cable or port replicator was in use. I would just have to wait until the PC decided to sort out the issue to some extent and eventually the port would be fine again. This was often after weeks though.
