However, the ThinkPad X1 Extreme is the most basic of the new products. As usual, it has a reinforced “carbon fiber body” to keep it light and thin (17.7 mm and 1.81 kg). Lenovo has added a new hybrid cooling system for better performance.
This new ThinkPad offers a more powerful cooling system, because it now comes with some very powerful components, such as Intel 11th generation (starting at RTX-3050 Ti). The latter powers a new 16-inch display, with QHD+ or UHD+ panels. The higher-resolution displays (touch and non-touch) offer Dolby Vision HDR support and 600 nits of peak brightness.
It comes with up to 64GB of DDR4 memory, two 2TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 SSDs , and a 90Wh batterythat allows the laptop to run for up to 10.7 hours. The ThinkPad X1 Extreme laptop also features WiFi 6E, 5G Wireless WAN, FHD or FHD infrared webcam, Dolby Atmos Speakers, a fingerprint reader, and a larger 115mm touchpad.
