Defective computers, both Gen 3 and Gen 4.

I bought this last year. Within a few months camera and mic would not work. Since I pay for Premier support they sent out people to try to repair twice, which did not work. Finally asked me to send to the Depot, which I did, where they returned it to another state, not my home, and it was lost forever. They finally sent a Gen 4 to replace it and I am now awaiting a THIRD motherboard replacement. This is used for my business and I have lost countless hours of work and sleep due to this situation. I am SO DISAPPOINTED with Lenovo and these computers. I was an avid Lenovo user for decades but they have lost my trust.

A+

This is my second Lenovo and it is exponentially better than other laptops I have had in the past. It boots up quicker, responds faster, is slim and light, and the graphics are great. Best laptops ever.

Extreme speed, extreme heat

Overall great laptop! The screen is really nice quality, and runs top of the line for being 2 generations old. However, runs very hot, not fun to have on your lap - really needs a lap fan which isn't ideal to carry around all the time. I use it mostly as a workstation so it isn't as much of a problem. Also, the battery life is pretty low - probably doesn't help that the screen is running so many pixels, but worth it for me since I don't use it too much in one long chunk on the go without plugging it in!

Another in a line of Thinkpads that just works

Sleek and responsive, does what I want quickly and has everything that I need to get the job done.

Check forums online, this thing is unreliable

Forums are filled with hundreds of people just like myself who have TONS of problems with this computer that Lenovo never fixes or cares about. BIOS updates will fail, it will randomly freeze or not restart, etc. The bottom of the case is weak, and bends easily. It gets so hot that it can't be put in a lap, and thermal lags all the time. The screen has no support, and presses against the keys until the pixels die.

Thinkpad X1 Extreme is an awesome machine.

The Thinkpand x1 extreme is a great machine. I did bump the specs to max by changing the memory to max (64Gb) and replacing the 1Tb SSD with two 2Tb SSDs. The ultra high def screen is amazing.

Keep buying Lenovo

Even in retirement I continue to use Lenovo as I have for many years for my employee's and myself. I must be lucky, or they must be good quality as I've never had one go bad or any problems at all.

A Great Solution For Busy Exec's

When it comes to supplying equipment for our busy client-services teams, I look for power and reliability. I'm very pleased with the capabilities for performance expansion among many of Lenovo's product lines. I rolled out quite a few ThinkPad P-15's and got favorable responses from those who received them. I had a few complaints about the weight of the P-15, So I went looking for a solution and found it with the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 Intel . It seems to be half the weight of the P-15 and performs very well with the Intel I-9 processor, 64gb memory and a solid state hard drive. I'm sure that whatever your computing needs are, Lenovo's product lines can satisfy you.

Daily work laptop

Great feeling. I really notice the ThinkPad upgrades. As a sole proprietor doing engineering consulting work I need a solid, reliable laptop that I can work from day after day. So far this has fit the bill perfectly.

I ordered a bunch of these for the office of a client and as usual everyone loves them and so far no hardware/software issues with any of them just make sure you un-install McAfee

Great Machine at a low price!

Great product. Wonderful screen and power with good battery. The only issue I have is the keyboard is slightly smaller than I am use to but my muscle memory is not use to the layout yet. I also went from having a separate keypad for numbers to just the numbers only being below the "f" keys which is somewhat less than ideal for working with a great deal of number (e.g., Excel but otherwise it is great. I also like that this machine does not have a 3 prong power cord.

Great Laptop, a little loud

Super light and portable. Battery life isn?t amazing, but I?m always working near an outlet so I don?t mind and it?s still an upgrade from my Dell. The fan can get loud when it really kicks in, but I use headphones when I work so I don?t really notice.

OLED really is the best

I took this over the gen4 to escape the long lead times, but I'm actually happier with the OLED display than I thought I'd be, so its all good. It's remarkably compact for the power and it's serving my assorted business and mild video editing needs well.

Nice Laptop But quirky. Seems like a refurb unit.

The Good: Lightweight, fast(I had a couple of 64GB DDR4 DIMMS I installed). Nice feel and works great when in use and stays cool. The Bad: Sometimes it closes all my browsers my work when I close the lid and sometimes it doesn't so don't know what's going on with that. Also, when I close the screen I can still hear the cooling fan going. My HP Z-book automatically went into sleep mode when I closed the laptop screen-I'm still trying to figure out how to fix this Lenovo. Overall, I like the laptop and trying to get it to work the way I want. I'm not sure I would recommend this one but I got a great deal on it so that's why I'm keeping it. Once it's up and running it's a great device and lightweight is important since I do a lot of traveling.

Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 - CAD Kudos!

Using my new Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 Laptop for CAD Modeling. Had some concerns about it's ability to handle complex assemblies. Easily installed 32Mb of RAM (Came with 8) and the GPU and CPU performed very well under the software's performance tests. It is sleek and lightweight. A pleasure to use. Thanks for a truly great value.

Great Laptop, Excellent Service.

Great laptop, excellent service. This was my first purchase with Lenovo and I'm very impressed. My husband used the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 for the first time and commented on how nice the screen appears. We will definitely be buying more from Lenovo in the future as we run a small business and have a few kids in college, so we're always looking for new laptops.
