Don't buy lenovo, they are scammers!! lenovo blacked mail me a severe faulty thinkpad p1 gen4 and will not do anything about it because they decide everything is outside warranty!

@@samb2166 lenovo don't do warranty, it's just a fake facade. I tried to write to them almost every day for 5 months in all possible ways, but they only answer "it is cosmetic and not covered by warranty". They won't accept anything under warranty!!
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…
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 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'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.
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.
Same here, I love my X1E Gen 2 - but this battery sucks! Doesn't help that I opted for the OLED display haha. I was hoping the battery would be much larger by now....
@@juliandinkins3226 After three years of using X1E G2, it's time for me to upgrade my laptop. I have been looking into T16/P16s as potential options. These laptops can be configured with a 15/30W CPU and an 86Wh battery, which I hope will provide a battery life of at least 5-6 hours.
Very nice review, I just wished you had actually included the XPS 15 and 17 in the comparison charts, otherwise the video came a cross a bit inconsistent. even "XPS" is the title of the video and yet no way to answer the question "better dell xps 15?" and if possible also to include Macbook Pro 14 or 16 in this tier of laptops comparison.
You are so wrong (well, at least a little bit) 😛The sweet spot is i7-12800H and RTX 3050. i7-12700H and i7-12800H both have 45 W TDP, and the RTX 3050 frees up the second M2-Slot Needless to say this is the exact configuration i just bought 😀
They also need to start taking warranty issues and customer support seriously before anyone should buy it, it is non-existing! I have tried to contact them at lenovo forums, facebook, instagram, escalation team, digital retailer, even emailing head of lenovo Global PR!! They simply stop caring as soon as you have pay the computer. Have a P1Gen4 (same as x1 extreme gen4) and it is horrible in almost any way (hardware issues and severe quality issues)
I hate thinking this, but the fact that we're now seeing - and yes I know it's on the desktop and we may not be near laptop launches - 13th gen intel and 40 series nvidia makes it a little more difficult to pay top dollar for a device with soon-to-be last gen specs. I know there's always something better around the corner. It just feels like not the right time to buy a 12th gen intel, 30 series nvidia machine unless there's a pretty darn good discount available. Have a great weekend Matt.
I have. I had the two machines side by side for a couple of weeks. I really liked the Zenbook Pro 16X overall, but the display I could not live with it. It was super glossy. Literally a black mirror. Any lights behind it were a distraction at best and blinding if it was sunlight. Very annoying and caused a lot of eye strain in my use case. There is also a visible white mesh that can be seen in areas of the white screen areas. I had read somewhere that it had to do with the touchscreen matrix or something like that. But I am not sure that makes sense. The display is not as bright as the claimed 550 nits. That peak brightness is only possible in a small window. The sustained brightness of the display is closer to 360 nits. I found for outdoor use or when there was a strong backlight behind it that it really needed to be about 20% or so brighter. I ended up returning it yesterday and keeping the X1 Extreme Gen 5, despite my preference for the Asus in many ways. The display was just something that I could not live with. Battery life and performance were otherwise very similar. Ports are also similar, though the Asus only has 1 USB-A. The keyboard can be hit or miss depending on your preferences. Some like the 7-degree tilt, while others don't. I fell into the liked it category. The trackpad is also hit-and-miss. Nice large size, good tactile feel, and haptic feedback. But sometimes it seemed to have a mind of its own and did everything except what it was supposed to do. It reminded me a little of training a puppy. If they don't understand the trick that you are trying to teach them, they will do every other trick that they know for the treat, even if none of them are correct :) (that can hopefully be fixed via a later firmware update hopefully?) The included backpack and pen were nice value-added features of the Asus. But it is disappointing that the memory and SSD are soldered on and non-upgradable. Not an issue if the configurations that they offer do suit your needs, but something worth considering. Also, the Zenbook Pro 16X is a heavy beast. The ThinkPad X1 Extreme isn't the lightest of laptops, but the ZenBook Pro 16X is a chunk. You could seriously bludgeon someone to death with it.
I bought one but returned, the laptop is beautiful, simple but nice design. Nice quality. But 12th intel just too hot for such slim laptop. Even just web browser such like ytb watch will hear the fan noise.
@@bora8254 yes 3070ti model， hot as hell，the temperature can run up to 100c when I was running dota2 for just 1 minute, a game can be easily run by 3050ti.
"The only laptop like this was the Dell XPS 15.." *Asus ZenBook Pro: Am I a joke to you?* And btw you should also take a look at the Lenovo P1, it's even more catered towards professionals than the X1, a proper workstation laptop.
Totally different products. But lg gram is lighter with less power. Extreme is heavier more performance. Depends what you’re doing. If it’s just office work I’d go with gram. If you need a gpu id go thinkpad x1 extreme

I have the config with the 3070ti and 12800H processor, and the 165Hz refresh rate screen. Battery life is pretty meh. As an example using it today for about 45 mins on power saving mode I went from 85% to 50% (so a third of power used over 45mins - extrapolating means the battery would last 2 hrs 15 mins). This was just for light to moderate usage (sending emails and internet browsing, using microsoft office)
Everything is better than the XPS series today. The XPS series today is a shadow of it's former self. Dell switched from a performance device to what seems like a cheap consumer device. I would not recommend current gen XPS devices to anyone 2022. XPS used to be Dells borderline gaming and high performance line, and it isn't even a performance work device nor is it a performancing gaming or content creating device. Idk what Dell Intends to do with their XPS line these days....
I still have the 1st generation. Battery never held up more than 1 hour, always overheating and after 3 years, the gpu stopped working ( 1050 ti). Giant waste of money, should of bought the macbook.
Sorry but bye to the carbon fiber. I have a Dell XPS 15 since some years ago, and it is awful: it is dirty, sticky and finally it started to peel off, so I decided to try to take the surface off (like a glue) and now it is softer. In my opinion, the cleanest and most beautiful material is alluminum for the whole chasis, like some brands use it: Apple, Huawei or Microsoft
Yes. I have had success charging via USB-C, make sure you have a cable good enough or it won't work (power delivery cable). It gives a warning if you start the laptop with the USB-C plugged in but that about it, just press ESC to let it boot. Charges the laptop if you are using it too, but I'm guessing not at a super-fast rate compared to the bundled charger. EDIT: my charger is a Satechi 100w PD USB C charger
If Lenovo wouldn't smoke so much crack and price their machines realistically, maybe they'd actually be a viable option but now? Their price/performance is even worse than Apple's during the butterfly keyboard years. I can get a good spec'ed Dell Precision 15 for ~2000, the Lenovo counterpart? 3k+
Will this laptop's chassis finally be upgraded next year? It still looks good, but to compete with the XPs series, I feel there is still space for improvement in the looks department.
Damn nice laptop, massive price though, i like to buy top spec stuff but i think 4-5k for a laptop is pretty far stretched for a normal user. Ill stick with my T480 and T490 for now!
My next laptop will have top firing speakers like the ThinkPad. I've got an ASUS VivoBook S15 that's nice in every way EXCEPT the dumb down firing speakers.
Would have liked to seen thermal comparisons to see how much the new vapor chamber design helps. The previous gen Extremes were struggle bus with cooling Intel+Nvidia monsters
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.

Nice laptops and all, but the prices are not right imo. Especially in Germany, it almost looks like a money laundering operation.
hahahaha
But can it run Linux?
My favourite laptop
1:41 Some people still like to call it "NIPPLE" whereas others call it "NUB" , lmao 😂🤣
Matte glass would be better
yeah but at least for the screen you can just apply a film on top of it
wow upgradable ram , no vents at the right side . wifi card is soldered , but ok . it performs better than my pc
The build quality of Lenovo Thinkpad is getting worse, I don't recommend buying one.
If Lenovo wouldn't smoke so much crack and price their machines realistically, maybe they'd actually be a viable option but now? Their price/performance is even worse than Apple's during the butterfly keyboard years. I can get a good spec'ed Dell Precision 15 for ~2000, the Lenovo counterpart? 3k+
What took you so long I searched this video from 5 months, but you didn't review
I just got it in! lol
@@MatthewMoniz ok i get it
Straight forward review. Short and on point as we like it.
Thanks Rui!
The one u recommend much does it #cost
depends on where you live. There's links in the description if you live in Canada or the US.
@@MatthewMoniz Glasgow and as not working thanks pandemic I'll need to save bit longer
How is the fan noise?
I talk about it in the video
It can become quite noticeable when engaging intensive gaming or downloads

Lmao
Will this laptop's chassis finally be upgraded next year? It still looks good, but to compete with the XPs series, I feel there is still space for improvement in the looks department.
ya it could use a bit more refinement.
Damn nice laptop, massive price though, i like to buy top spec stuff but i think 4-5k for a laptop is pretty far stretched for a normal user. Ill stick with my T480 and T490 for now!
Just like the first day I touched it 😂.
We noticed bro 😂
HP Zbook Studio G9 ??
Solution is create the other one such as android phone etc,..
wow whata great video and advice thank you. still looking for that 4.5lb 16-17 inch gaming laptop with usb c gaming :D
"The nipple, - my mom comes in, it's it's exactly like how it was the first day I touched it
My next laptop will have top firing speakers like the ThinkPad. I've got an ASUS VivoBook S15 that's nice in every way EXCEPT the dumb down firing speakers.
You are better than Dav2D
"The nipple still feels fine, just like the day I touched it"
Good to see that Lenovo is still doing great job with a Thinkpad lineup for businesses.
6 hours of use. bro
No numpad 😢
Thanks
You're welcome!
Too expensive but screen and speakers R Great Job 😀👍
Regards from Europe from my channel 😀👍
OMG! 2900 USD... For what?!
"The nipple ... still feels fantastic, like the first day I've touched it"
Yes Matthew, yes it does.
3k business laptop with 5 hours battery life? Hilarious
Over 6 which is good considering the cpu and gpu that’s inside of it. Plus 4K display
heat, and fan noise even during easy tasks, bad quality
I'm really upset that the 2560 x 1600 screen option does not come with the carbon weave showing.
Wowowoww
Not bad.
notice: you can buy an used gaming laptop with can do 90% of this thinkpad can do with just 1/10 the price LOL
This is not a gaming laptop. This is a business laptop. If i want gaming I'll buy a PS5 not a laptop.
That thing 😊😊😊❤❤❤💪💪💪
Nice laptop
Would have liked to seen thermal comparisons to see how much the new vapor chamber design helps. The previous gen Extremes were struggle bus with cooling Intel+Nvidia monsters
I completely forgot to put the chart in the vide and I recorded the results. Remind me on Monday and I’ll post a link in the description
@@MatthewMoniz Just add a reminder lol
1:43 ROFL
Yeah, Lenovo- never. Sad day when the Thinkpad was turned over from IBM.
👍
1:42 hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....
You look and sound like an American Colin Farrell
great
You’re great
6 hours of use. LOL
The uglier XPS 15.
