Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Extreme 16" (1600p) i7-11800H, RTX 3050 Ti, 8GB DDR4, 256GB SSD $1366 (perksatwork)

-9 Deal Score

Thought someone looking for ThinkPad build quality might be interested. Creator oriented, not a gaming laptop.

Downside is 8 GB ram and 256 GB hard drive - upgrading on Lenovo is crazy expensive. Can't tell if it's one stick or two, but there are 2 RAM slots and two SSD slots.

Believe the X1 Extreme is the same chassis/build quality as the ThinkPad P1, the latter is business oriented, X1E is consumer oriented.

There is also a 3070 version, 15.6" 1080p 500 nits w/ 16GB ram and 512GB hard drive for $1679. Again not really a gaming machine.

This configuration was only $1202 about a week ago, and even that price wasn't anything special. The perks prices have a range they cycle through and this is at the high end of the range.

You sure it was a ThinkPad not Thinkbook? Cause the Thinkbook is much lower build quality.

Yes. I've been closing monitoring the price of the X1 Extreme Gen 4 on Perks ever since it was first released.

And BTW you seemed to be confused about the Thinkpad lineup in your initial post because the second link is for a T15g, which has nothing to do with the X1 Extreme and is focused on an entirely different market.

Thanks yeah, not very familiar with ThinkPad lineup or the pricing since I've been focusing on a Legion 5i or Pro.

Would you mind posting on SD when you think there is a deal? Thanks

Unfortunately, the lower prices they had on the X1 Extreme Gen 4 shortly after release have not returned, but I'll hopefully they will.
