ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 has been internally redesigned to fit the 11th generation Intel Core i9-H series processors and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 (16GB). This is achieved through a new “hybrid cooling” system, which adds a steam chamber in addition to the standard heat pipe. In addition, the laptop draws in cold air through the keyboard, and the gasket still ensures splash-proof. The combination of the fan and keyboard air intake should draw in air from the top and bottom.
Other changes include a 16-inch display with a 16:10 aspect ratio (helping to increase the cooling surface area), options up to 4K, Dolby Vision HDR and touch. The laptop will use Intel’s Wi-Fi 6E technology, but will also support an optional 5G wireless network. There is also a larger 90 watt-hour battery, which Lenovo claims can last 10.7 hours on the MobileMark 2018 battery life benchmark.
Lenovo also changed the angle of the carbon fiber twill to make the lid more stylish.
L series laptops are more affordable. These have been released with Intel, but they are seeing their first release of AMD with these new models. Yoga is a two-in-one product, which happens to be Lenovo’s first Windows 10 convertible equipped with an AMD processor, while the regular L13 is an ordinary clamshell.
