Reviewer score 90% (normalized by Neofiliac)The ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 is one of the most powerful 15-inch laptops you can buy. It has two downward-firing speakers pumping out plenty of volume without distortion. The display is touch-enabled on this model, and it's precise and responsive. Windows 10 Hello support is provided by a fast and responsive fingerprint reader.
Pros
- Sleek, lightweight design
- Powerful OLED display
- Excellent battery life
Cons
- Battery life isn't great

Reviewer score 88% (normalized by Neofiliac)Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen3 offers more performance but with louder fans. The matte 1080p screen is very bright and allows very long runtimes, but it is not ideal if you want to edit pictures on the go. The ThinkPad can handle games and you can often combine the native 1080p resolution with high settings. However at this price point, we would have expected full sRGB color gamut.
Pros
- Matte IPS screen
- Good input devices
- Good battery life
- Long battery runtime
Cons
- No LTE
- No SD card reader

Reviewer score 78% (normalized by Neofiliac)Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Extreme is a worthy contender among creative laptops. The Extreme easily hurdled the 4,000-point mark that we consider excellent productivity in PCMark 10. All four Windows laptops' PCI Express solid-state drives sailed through PCMark 8's storage measurement.
Pros
- Gorgeous 4K OLED display
- Excellent battery life
- Comfortable keyboard
Cons
- No Thunderbolt 3 port

Reviewer score 86% (normalized by Neofiliac)Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme is one of the most powerful laptops on the market. Powered by a six-core Intel Core i7 E8750E processor, the X1 has a 15.6-inch display. It also has an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card, and 4GB of memory. The only downside is the 4lbs (1.84kg) weight, and the lack of Ethernet.
Pros
- Beautiful 15.6-inch screen
- Excellent performance
- Excellent keyboard and touchpad
Cons
- Very heavy
- No Thunderbolt 3 port

Reviewer score 72% (normalized by Neofiliac)The X1 Extreme Gen 3 has a six-core 10th Gen Intel processor and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q. The Core i7-10850H isn't the most monstrous processor around, especially compared to AMD's recent H-series chips. If you're going to be doing intense content work, prepare to hear the fans.
Pros
- Sleek, sturdy design
- Excellent keyboard and touchpad
- Good battery life
- Decent speakers
Cons
- Battery life could be better
- No Thunderbolt 3
