On top of that, it comes with a larger touchpad that now meets the Microsoft Precision TouchPad (PTP) standard.
8th Gen Owl Wing Fan
The AMD Ryzen 4000 mobile APU is kept cool by the 8th Generation Lenovo Owl Wing Fan, which delivers 38% more airflow, for 15% better cooling performance.
On top of that, the Owl Wing Fan is designed to minimise dust accumulation, which means it will maintain its performance over years of use.
Smaller + Lighter
Compared to the last-generation, the 2020 ThinkPad E15 is smaller in size, and lighter in weight. But it still sports the same 15.6-inch display.
The difference is the smaller bezels – just 7.7 mm at the sides, giving it an 85% screen-to-body ratio.
12 MIL-SPEC Certifications

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme is a high-end mobile workstation designed to be the ultimate expression of Lenovo engineering prowess.
Let’s take an in-depth look at the ThinkPad X1 Extreme and find out what sets it apart from the competition!
The Official Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Tech Briefing!
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme (US | UK) is an ultra-light mobile workstation that can be equipped with a 4K HDR touchscreen display with Dolby Vision and optional pen support. But it’s no ordinary mobile workstation.
As an enterprise-grade mobile workstation, the ThinkPad X1 Extreme is designed to be secure and tough. Not only is it built to withstand 12 military-grade requirements, it is secured by Lenovo ThinkShield technologies from the factory till the end of its lifespan.
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Price + Availability
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme (US | UK) is available in Malaysia with immediate effect. It has a starting price of RM 7,749 / ~US$ 1,890, with the following specifications :
Intel Core I5-8300H processor
Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64-bit
15.6-inch Full HD IPS display (300 nits)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (4 GB)
8 GB DDR4-2666 memory
256 GB M.2 2280 NVMe SSD
Here are some direct purchase links for your convenience :

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Up Close!
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme (US | UK) is powered by the 8th Generation Intel H series 6-core processor, with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics and fast NVMe SSD storage.
Lenovo offers two 15.6-inch display options :
a Full HD IPS display with 300 nits brightness and 72% Adobe RGB colour gamut, or
a 4K UHD HDR display with 400 nits brightness and 100% Adobe RGB colour gamut
The Full HD display option is slightly (0.3 mm) thinner and marginally (100 grams) lighter than the 4K UHD display option.
Despite sporting a large 15.6-inch display, it is only 18 mm thick, and weighs just 1.8 kg. It even has a long-lasting 80 Whr battery inside!
In addition to processor options, Lenovo also allows you to customise the following options :
DDR4-2666 Memory : 8 GB / 16 GB / 32 GB / 64GB
PCIe SSD Storage : 256 GB / 512 GB / 1 TB / 2 TB
Optional IR camera with Glance technology
Dual Fan, Dual Heatpipe Cooling
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme (US | UK) is designed to run in the most extreme conditions. Hence, it is kept cool by a dual-fan, dual-heatpipe cooling system that you can just see through the large vents on its underside.
The two heatpipes whisk heat away from the CPU and GPU to the two heatsinks – each kept cool by a fan that sucks in cool air from the underside. The hot air is then exhausted out the back. The inside of the chassis is also kept cool passively by large vents.
Webcam + Optional IR Camera
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme (US | UK) comes with a very basic 720p webcam. At this price point, we would have expected at least a 1080p webcam. But at least it comes with a ThinkShutter privacy cover.
Lenovo offers an optional IR camera, which we highly recommend because it allows for the more secure Windows Hello login method.
The IR camera also supports the Lenovo Glance technology, which merges face-, eye- and gaze-tracking. It allows the cursor to automatically focus on where you are looking at, or windows to shift with a move of your eyes. This is especially useful when you are working on multiple monitors.
Lay Flat Display
Whether you opt for the Full HD or 4K UHD panel, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme (US | UK) has a lay-flat display design. Its hinge is designed to let the display lay completely flat.
This makes it easier to work with other people, particularly since the display is touch-sensitive and supports writing with a pen. Lenovo offers an optional pen, but you can also use a third-party pen like the Genius Pen.

Fingerprint Sensor
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme (US | UK) has an enterprise-grade fingerprint sensor. Instead of being integrated into the Power button, it is built into the chassis, to the right of the keyboard.
It uses a Match-on-Chip fingerprint sensor, which means the fingerprint data is registered, stored and verified by the fingerprint reader chip itself.
This prevents a hacker or malware from using a man-in-the-middle attack to falsely verify a fake fingerprint.
Keyboard + Touch Pad + TrackPoint
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme (US | UK) has a full-sized keyboard that is spill-resistant. That means it will withstand a small spill of water without shorting out.
In addition to its glass touchpad, the ThinkPad X1 Extreme (US | UK) comes with the iconic ted TrackPoint joystick. Also known as a pointing stick, the TrackPoint is pressure-activated, allowing for faster and better cursor control with minimal movement.
Connectivity Options
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme (US | UK) comes with a plethora of connectivity options and ports.
Wirelessly, it supports 802.11 AC 2×2 WiFi connectivity, which means it has dual transmit and receive antennas for better reception and range. It also supports the latest Bluetooth 5.0 technology.
Here is a list of ports you will find on the left and right side of the ThinkPad X1 Extreme (US | UK) :
[adrotate group=”2″]
AC Power Port
Two USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type C / Thunderbolt 3 ports
HDMI 2.0 port
Network extension port
3.5 mm combo audio and microphone port
Smart Card reader
4-in-1 SD card reader
Two USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports (one is always on)
Kensington lock slot
Battery + Charging
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme (US | UK) comes with a 4-Cell Li-Cylinder battery that Lenovo says will last up to 15 hours.
It has a total capacity of 80 Watt-hours, which means it will last one hour if the X1 Extreme uses 80 watts of power, or two hours if it uses 40 watts, or four hours if it sips just 20 watts of power.
Lenovo pairs it with a compact 135 watt rapid charging adaptor that they promise will recharge the battery to 80% in just one hour. A small LED indicator light next to the power port tells you the X1 Extreme’s charging status at a glance.
Here were our findings when we put its battery to the test :

PCMark 10 – Productivity App Performance
Surprisingly, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme (US | UK) only scored 4,332 in PCMark 10 on AC power.
Many other laptops powered by the Intel Core i7-8850H processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GPU would score just over 5,200 – about 20% higher.
When we switched to battery power, its performance was throttled by about 31% to improve battery life.
This makes it about ⅓ as fast as a gaming laptop based on the full-powered NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti, which would score around 15,800.
If you run it on battery power, its performance gets throttled by about 21%, reducing its Fire Strike score to just under 5,000.

Our Verdict Of The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme (US | UK) looks and feels every bit like business laptop – from its angular design all the way to its matte black colour scheme. But it’s far more than just another mobile workstation.
Beneath its business-like veneer is a tough laptop that not only offers enterprise-grade Lenovo ThinkShield protection from factory till the end of its lifespan, but also military-grade toughness. In fact, every ThinkPad X1 Extreme has to pass 12 military-grade tests.
These aspects are important to note because the ThinkPad X1 Extreme (US | UK) is neither the most powerful mobile workstation in the market, nor does it offer the best performance for the money. In fact, our benchmarks show that it consistently underperforms laptops with the same processor and graphics card.
Performance, mark our words, is not what the ThinkPad X1 Extreme is offering. It is the entirety of the package that differentiates the X1 Extreme from its competitors – configurability, security and reliability in a thin and light package.
If you have the cash to spare, it offers an incredible 4K HDR display with 400 nits of brightness and 100% Adobe RGB colour gamut. You can also configure it with up to 64 GB of DDR4 memory, and up to two PCIe SSDs offering up to 2 TB of storage!
You can also count on its diverse connectivity options – super-fast Wireless-AC and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity, with many ports to use – the latest Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C ports as well as the good-old 3.5 mm audio port!
It’s not just work, work, work though. The ThinkPad X1 Extreme (US | UK) supports Dolby Audio Premium and Dolby Atmos, so it doubles as a great entertainment and gaming laptop after a hard day’s work.
Ultimately, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme (US | UK) is designed for those who need absolute security and reliability. Whether you are working in the comfort of your flying office, or in harsh field environments, you know you can depend on the X1 Extreme.

At just 1.17 kg, the new Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon is the world’s lightest 14″ business-class Ultrabook. It is amongst the thinnest Ultrabooks in the market with a thickness of just 16.5 mm. All this is thanks to its satellite-grade carbon fiber chassis.
Its carbon fiber construction also makes it tougher – the ThinkPad X1 Carbon has been qualified using nearly a dozen military-grade specification tests. So it will withstand the harshest conditions you can put it through.
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon is powered by the latest 6th Generation Intel Core i7-6600U processor running on Microsoft Windows 10 Professional, and comes with up to 16 GB of DDR3 memory and up to 1 TB of SSD storage.

Lenovo recently unveiled a slew of 27 new devices under the new “Empower, Engage and Experience” umbrella themes, spanning the consumer, commercial and enterprise segments. Let’s take a look at what those themes mean for the new 2016 Lenovo devices.
Empower
The first strategic theme will Empower users by providing them with the capabilities for high performance at the core of their businesses, focusing on Security and Reliability. Businesses are being transformed by the continuing evolution in data centers – into being more efficient, flexible, and scalable as well as being able to provide customers with more personalised offerings.
In this endeavour, Lenovo is primed to be the enterprise IT partner who is able to leverage its uncontested competencies in designing PCs that do more, its partnerships with software and hyperconvergence leaders, and its open ecosystem strategy, to provide the full range of enterprise with best-of-breed solutions that are easy to deploy, operate on the highest standards of security, and are moreover extremely robust.
Engage
The second strategic theme will Engageon-the-go customers of every profile, as they demand high performance combined with ultimate portability, and that their devices strike the perfect balance between leading specifications and a form factor that suits a range of situations – keeping the gateway open and firing for both personal expression and professional control.
Lenovo is committed to expanding on its track record of engineering PCs that lead the innovation trail, and on its position as the world’s leading PC supplier, with a diverse offering of devices that are as mobile as they are flexible to individual demands.
Experience
The third strategic theme concerns enabling Experience; an important part of Lenovo’s game plan, whether by enhancing work or play. Lenovo’s purpose-driven innovation certainly has, as one part of its end goals, the enrichment of contemporary human experience with seamless, powerful access to rich content and applications.
This begins with pushing the boundaries of device design to offer products that are Recognisably Different: lighter, more fluid in form, and containing more customisable options. Some of these designs are eminently suited to the business professional who is a techie to the core, while some are fine-tuned for enjoyment of LENOVOMusic, LENOVOMovie and LENOVOGaming in high quality graphics, sound and integrated experience.
