Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme – a real power monster
The fourth generation of ThinkPad X1 Extreme is designed with digital content creators and prosumers in mind who seek maximum power for work and entertainment, it is equipped with processors 11th generation Intel Core i9 H-series with optional vPro platform, designed to provide high performance, protected by ThinkShield to ensure corporate security standards, crisp displays and advanced graphics options. With a thickness of 17.7 mm and a weight of only 1.81 kg, X1 Extreme Gen 4 abounds in quality thanks to a chassis composed of multiple layers of reinforced carbon fiber. Extreme performance requires maximum thermal efficiency in order to allow the user to make the most of their creativity without worrying about overheating. Lenovo engineers have developed three new complementary cooling systems for models configured with NVIDIA RTX. A hybrid cooling system uses both traditional heat exchange tubes and a vapor chamber to keep graphics workloads that require large processing capacity running smoothly. An air vent in the keyboard increases the flow of fresh air to the cooling fans as well maintaining the keyboard’s resistance to spilling liquids. Finally, a double bypass allows air to flow to the top and bottom of the cooling system to improve thermal insulation. These elements give an idea of the great work done by Lenovo in seeking the perfection of the design processes to increase the protection of the most advanced internal components.
