Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme (2022) - The Better Dell XPS 15?

Review of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 5. This is the 2022 Model and the one I'm reviewing comes with an Intel I7-12800H CPU and a RTX 3070TI. Hopefully this helps you out on whether you should pick one up.

Review of the Lenovo X1 Extreme Gen 5. GPU TGP is 90W but apparently there is a bios update pushing it to 110W but I haven't seen it yet.

It really is a shame that Intel has a monopoly on the X1 series. This would be a killer laptop with a 6800H

[ZGMFchen]

great conclusion dude, especially when you have an additional M.2 SSD slot if you choose the 3050Ti with 12700H

This would be a dream laptop with amd cpu + gpu and if the paint would never peel off the chassis. but a $3k business laptop with 5 hours of battery life and the paint peeling off? that's pretty much a travesty. just imagine this thing with a durable metal body and an amd 6800hs + 6700s, having 10 hours of battery life.

im still using the 2021 legion 5i pro (i7-11800h+3070ti). Even though this only has been my first laptop in my whole life, what struck me the most about it, compare to all other laptop brands and models that i've unbox and setup for our store customer, is how good the damn keyboard is. I feel like i can even compare it to my mechanical keyboard that use MX Speed Silver switch lol.

The keyboard feels damn satisfying to type and game on. Lenovo really knows how to make good keyboard for their laptop.

I had always considered this to be a competitor to the MacBook Pro 16 so it would have been cool to have included it in some of the charts and graphs. I consider gaming laptops to be in a category of their own and not to compete with MacBooks in any way since macOS has such a poor game selection but any work or "professional" laptops I consider to be in the same category. Either way, great review - I've always wanted one of these but the price has always been a bit more than I could stomach for what you get.

I love this laptop, I got the v1 version, have been using it for 5 years. I want the new one ;(.

I'm jealous, I feel like you suddenly review it because you want a new one :)

I think the sweet spot would be an AMD configuration for the Xtreme. You still get plenty of power, AMD is not as power hungry as Intel and won't be running as hot. I would go for the bigger, chunkier one with the Intel config (the other thinkpad, forgot its name atm). Also, I find it sad that I can't have an ethernet port on most of the business laptops these days, making me buy a usb 3.0/3.2 or usb c converter to ethernet. And we've had laptops with 1.7kg's in the past, smaller 14' devices, really thin, that included the ethernet port, so there is no excuse whatsoever.

I believe Lenovo just sent this model to various reviewers because a few new reviews released just in the last 10 days and even an unboxing video had a dirty laptop from the box…

[nickahn]

1:36 I'm sure it was just as good as the very first day you touched it

[castle_novelist]

8TB SSD for a laptop???? now where do you get such

[mohameda.elbehairy]

is there any difference in screen quality between the touch and nontouch 4k screen models?

[omarcortes]

I'm a Thinkpad user and the experience has been great, except for the deck that tends to get greasy. This extreme is great but not perfect. Hopefully the next generation will be able to take better advantage of the hardware.

[ArielPalatnik]

Is it worth the price or a T16 has a better price per value?

[yatsuk]

For my X1 Extreme Gen 2, the battery is the weakest link. Guess the same story will be with this generation as well - the TDP of the CPU is still on the same level but screens are brighter and have bigger resolutions so that +12 % for the battery will not help much.

3050 model got
2 memory + 2 ram slots ?

[DannyBGttv]

Thanks so much for this great review it was very informative and helpful. Will you be reviewing the X1 Carbon Gen 10?
