ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 (16, Intel)
Processor and Performance
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 (Intel) is powered by 11th Gen Intel Tiger Lake H-series processors, including Core i7-11800H (8C/16T, 2.3–4.6 GHz), i7-11850H (8C/16T, 2.5–4.8 GHz), or i9-11950H (8C/16T, 2.6–5.0 GHz). It delivers strong performance for creative workloads and gaming (Cinebench R23 Multi: ~12500–14000 for i7-11800H). Users praise its multitasking and content creation capabilities but note high power consumption (~45W TDP). Ideal for professionals needing workstation-grade power.
Graphics and Display
The 16" display offers WQXGA (2560x1600, 400 nits, 100% sRGB) or WQUXGA (3840x2400, 600 nits, 100% AdobeRGB) options, with 16:10 aspect ratio and optional touchscreen. Graphics include NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, 3060, 3070, or 3080 (up to 16GB GDDR6). The RTX 3060 handles 4K gaming (~60–80 FPS in *Cyberpunk 2077* with DLSS) and creative tasks. Users commend the vibrant display but note the 4K option reduces battery life.
Design and Connectivity
Weighing ~1.81 kg with a carbon-fiber top, it’s MIL-STD-810H tested. Ports include 2x USB-C (Thunderbolt 4), 2x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, HDMI 2.1, SD card reader, and 3.5mm audio. Wi-Fi 6E (Intel AX210, ~1300 Mbps) and optional 5G WWAN ensure fast connectivity. The 90Wh battery lasts ~4–6 hours (4K display) or ~6–8 hours (WQXGA). Users note loud fans under load (~45 dB) and modest battery life. Ideal for mobile professionals.
