My Favorite ThinkPad Gets Better! // X1 Extreme Gen 2 Review

[@MatthewMoniz]

Here it is 2nd Gen from Lenovo! Still my favourite ThinkPad. It may not offer a huge performance upgrade but it makes some key refinements turning an even more solid product. Hit me up on discord if you have questions! discord.gg/mattmoniz

Best Thinkpad i ever owned is the W520 ;)

Please review the asus fx505dv with rtx 2060. I would like to know whether it’s good for video editing, since there are many youtubers promoting rtx laptops and showing their smooth preview in editing 4k and even 8k video

Great reviews my bro. I have some point to mention I really see it at your video for Dell XPS and I show it again notice that you have High Powe Limitations Over the thermal Limitations too, You can recheck the power settings and performance to Avoid Power Limitations, this will give a Realistic result for how watching the video Best Regards

[@CompuViz]

In my experience, any laptop be it for creators, gamers or general users, if laptop hasn't got excellent heat dissipation, then it will not last more than 3 years and performance will simply dwindle. What I want to see are the reviews the performance after heavy usage of of 6 months to a year. Otherwise all laptops are mere claims. What else you guys need to discuss is the motherboard, its chips and data transfer and bandwidth between its cpu, gpu and RAM. I watch all of your reviews, just as a tech lover, but there is nothing there more than your opinion of your feel and specifications.

[@Tigerex966]

i wish apple had wifi 6, upgradeable memory, 4k matte display, 2 upgradeable ssd slots, hdmi, usba, ethernet, sd card, seperate fast charger, this keyboard, and spill resistance, and so many great sales. However apple wins on trackpad, screen size by .4, speakers, clean look, undervolt at the factory, and new thermal system, 8gb video option, but most repairs out of warranty repairs are mother board related meaning at least $1500.

[@cjfontaine9206]

The 1080p HDR model feels like the one to get rather than the 4k. You get the color and the brightness without sacrificing battery life.

[@Christopher-today]

I can’t wait for the new intel chips, you’re right, in devices like this it’ll make a huge difference. I still love my Extreme Model 1. I’m with you the small improvements are nice but I’m not heartbroken I don’t have them. I also use it 95% for coding so I don’t need the 4K display but for anyone who is into content having a matte version of the 4K is probably the biggest deal but on 3.5 hours of battery. Ouch. With my FHD I’m getting around 6 or 7 depending on whether I’ve got the gpu engaged a little or a lot. When it’s a lot the battery drops a lot quicker but I still get about 4.5. It’s the only real gripe I have (other than thermal throttling) with the unit. If I had a more powerful USB C charger it’d be easier to take but 100W usb c chargers you can travel with are hard to find.... I lied I have 1 other gripe. I with it was a Cm less wide. 99% of the laptop bags I’ve looked at use the 15” MacBook as the reference device for sizing and the Extreme is ever do slightly too big. I’m more annoyed with the bag manufactures than Lenovo though. An extra Cm and they open up their bags to all us non-mac heretics.

[@Christopher-today]

Joonpil Park the XPS has the size advantage but worst thermals, a sub-par keyboard compared to the Extreme’s which is the best on a laptop as well the Extreme has a better screen and is lighter. Plus the Extreme was a few hundreds of dollars cheaper on-sale than the XPS when I bought it so while I’d love the smaller size I think I made the right decision for me.

[@EhrenSixon]

Matt! Finally bro. Been waiting for a review of this from you. Thank you so much! How would you compare it to the Razer Blade 15 Studio with the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000? Long live the nipple!

I ended up going with one of the Yoga versions from a year ago and got a smoking deal - a US $1,300+ laptop for $500 - or at least I thought it was a good deal.

[@reichlichanonym1308]

My own X1E G2 with the 4KIPS Display has a MAX runtime of 4h when using it very thoroughly on minimal Settings. With optimal powersettings and doing a bit of slightly excessive websurfing you can quickly drop to ca 2.5h runtime. I had first a completely failed Keyboard which took 2 attempts to fix (thank god I purchased it with onsite Support), then it still has a mushy typing feeling and even although I am not a fast typer it manages to loose keys occasionally. (see the very excessice Lenovo Forum thread. It seems a Standard Problem!) Another issue is microstuttering and hangs: you have frequent short hangs and on longer Sessions 1-2 longer hangs where it becomes unresponsive. Streaming often leads to desynchonisation of Audio and Video which doesn't even happen on my old trusty x230. It's NOT suited for Audio Work! Miserable Latency. Not the best Laptop Lenovo did. For the price I'm super annoyed. (No, unfortunately I can't return it).

[@johnkim1656]

@omran it fits my needs for light video editing ^^ I previously using zenbook ux32vd for that particular purpose.. rendering time is significantly faster and editing process is more fluid.. a lot less loading time when applying effect.. even for previewing video on premiere pro cc 2019.. and I could use the latest effect for 360 video.. it was just too complicated for my zenbook to handle I suppose.. haha.. I love the abundant ports it has (2 USB 3, Thunderbolt, USB C, SD Card).. and it's "future proof"@ (2 ram slots and 2 SSD slot). It throttled when rendering as expected on this form factor.. (it is seriously lighter than XPS 15 and thinner) yet to me it is still a great upgrade.. 4k display is nice yet it needs calibration.. (over contrast) I used Spyder for this purpose, but then, I guess a few months ago Lenovo deployed presets for the display setting.. problem solved.. I guess like every week there's always software/bios/driver update by Lenovo.. if that is matter to you

01.45 Thats one of the main reasons Thinkpads are known for. Nowhere you can get better antiglare displays other than Thinkpads. These machines are for productive work, no wonder why they used even in ISS. When lenovo acquired Think brand, form IBM...I thought...they wont be able to handle it nicely(matter of fact they...deviated the product line a lot), but eventually they figured the philosophy out.

[@DjSuperK]

Lmfao “it’s a nipple, I let my friends touch” 🤣

[@Dano-uf8ys]

alienguitarboy: I think the answer to that is already obvious. I was told it came with an optical drive and maybe an SSD is an optical drive. All I've ever used was a ROM drive with a 5 by 5 tray. All my data back up is on data discs. Apparently LENOVO doesn't have a ROM drive. I have recently bought a Toshiba 17" with all I need. As far as storage goes, C and D are all I need.

Hey Matt, how would you consider a decision between a fully loaded X1E gen 2 vs Eluktronics MAG-15?

[@AE-bk8tc]

Great video! Question...for editing...this or a macbook pro equivalent? Thanks!

[@janegoodall1837]

Old video, but it should be clear that the extreme gen 2 doesn't AUTOMATICALLY get the carbon weave design on top...it's only on the 4K displays. Also if you're only getting 3 hours of battery life, even on a 4k display there is something wrong with your settings if you're just browsing the internet or watching videos.

[@spookypineapple]

I have a 5th gen x1 carbon. Might be worth upgrading to this once the price drops!

[@Teddy-vs5rw]

The OLED 4K display is matt & touch at the same time, so you can get a non-glossy touch display, just saying

[@Gralchannel]

Are you sure about the supported color gamut of the 4K models? The specifications on the Lenovo’s web page show 100% of Adobe Rgb or 100% of DCI P3 , depending on the model.

[@benjaminli3808]

How'd you test the battery life? Dave tested the thinkpad p1 with the 4k screen and got 7 hours too. The p1 also has the 80whr battery

[@deantalamantes6190]

can't afford the i-9 so I'm going with the i-7 like he said I don't think it's capable of taking advantage of that processor anyways these thinner laptops can't really handle the heat from an i-9 but I've heard so many good things about this model aside from this so I'm happy with my decision

P53 or P53s? P53 is not that portable, and some perople report bad cooling because of single pipe cooling.

It’s slightly heavier, but for that you get more , cooling ah that can be said about any laptop really it becomes relative when compared accurately. Haven’t looked at ‘s’ model but I’m sure it’s slightly different. Either way portable is about more than weight

Hi! I brought this notebook 6 weeks ago (4K IPS Display, Core i7, 32 GB RAM). There is a widespread problem detected with the keyboard, who is missing stokes and letters when you are writing. There are cases of different notebooks affected from many places in the world (Europe, US, Latin America). The problem was reported on the Lenovo support forums, with 21 pages of complaints, but zero answer at this point. There are many other problems (awful battery life for the 4K version -only 2 hours-, the OLED version has a poor image display, and problems with stability on certain scenarios like using a 4K external dock or lag while using a secondary display). Don't buy this Notebook until there is a fix for this problem. Their Workstation version (P1 Gen 2) is also affected. forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-X-Series-Laptops/X1-Extreme-Gen-2-missing-keystrokes/td-p/4569936

He did say if you chose the 4K matte, you would be giving up the touch on the 4K glossy. Your other points are valid though. I think maxing out at an octacore instead of a hexacore affects certain buyers between gen 1 and gen 2. That seems to be the deciding factor in my opinion.

Well. You should try, because I have a problem and I have X1 Extreme gen 1. And after connecting this dock, the monitor blinks terribly, several attempts, maybe 15-30 minutes, and then stabilizes. There are times when the screen does not jump, wakes up after 10-30 minutes and flashes for 20-30 minutes. I do not know what's going on. I have already done some updates, firmware and the problem still occurs ... I'm slowly losing hope, I admit I am a bit disappointed with Lenovo support - it is known in the forum that there is some bug, a lot of people have a problem.
