ThinkPad X1 Extreme

I have two WoA laptops - SP11 (X1P) and Lenovo T14s (X1E). I also have a Ryzen 7 T14s from work. The difference could not be more night and day. I hate to do anything on my AMD work laptop, it is so frustrating - bleeding battery when it's supposed to be in sleep, constant fan noise even while doing

If this is your first ThinkPad, go newer. The T480 is great for tinkering, but the T14 Gen 2 is the better daily driver for most people, faster RAM too. What you do gain is a massive generational leap in performance over any 8-10th gen Intel chip and you’ll feel it in every single task. Just open so

for heavy grasshopper work CPU is what matters most. most plugins are still single threaded so clock speed beats core count for a lot of operations. but evolutionary solvers like Galapagos or Wallacei do use multiple cores so you want both 32gb RAM minimum. 64 if you can afford it. urban scale simul

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 i7- 32GB ram NVIDIA RTX 3050 this is exactly what I need lol

I mean I have cheaper laptops from 20yrs ago that still work. For $600 I would not buy a X1 Extreme Gen 2 (which is basically the same as my P1 Gen 2). You can go to BestBuy or whatever and buy a $600 brand new Lenovo laptop that isn't a Thinkpad that will spank the hell out of the X1E Gen 2. It won

I second the ThinkPad P1. You would want the P1 instead of an X1 extreme. The P1 is a true workstation system with professional grade nvidia graphics that have ISV certifications for the apps you'll be using for your engineering stuff. Not saying Lenovo is perfect but they do tend to fail less than

I have a ThinkPad X1 Extreme from 2019 with an OLED screen, and I think the burn-in fear is a bit overstated. Mine does have some faint burn-in from a game I'd often have on for hours at a time, but even on a 6+ year old screen it's not that noticeable (pretty much only on a bright white background)

Don’t buy. The X1E Gen2 is horrible. It had a serious keyboard issue and many other drivers issues. I had one and Lenovo replaced it for a Gen3 under warranty (which I still have, and works okay).

Well. ThinkPad T489is a great machine. For that price range. I mean a standard i5 ìth Gen, with 256 storage and 8 Gb of RAM is worth 100/150 usd. 4 cores/8 threads is plenty enough for what you want to do. But it lacks a Discrete GPU. Black Ops is not a light game. It can probably run the game, but

I gave up on Lenovo ThinkPads in 2019, in part because I bought 3 for me and my friends, and they all broke down within a year and were pretty much constant trouble (x1e G1 and g2) and then because I was living in Hong Kong at the time during the crackdown, which the CCP began in July and continues
