The powerful X1 is in its fourth generation. In a year marked by numerous ThinkPad redesigns, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme 4th Generation was the most significant—after all, it was the first 16-inch ThinkPad laptop. We were also pleased with the other features of this high-end multimedia laptop, although…Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme 4th Gen Laptop Battery life was disappointing. When Lenovo launched the ThinkPad X1 Extreme in 2018, you could clearly tell which competitor it was targeting: the Dell XPS 15. As a result, the first generation of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme featured specifications close to those of the Dell XPS 15 9570 at the time, with some added business features. The formula remained largely unchanged in subsequent generations; Lenovo consistently updated the CPU and GPU, meaning last year’s Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme 3rd Generation was still based on the same design as the first-generation model.Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme 4th Gen Laptop BatteryLife

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme 4th Gen can store more energy than the previous generation. Internal
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme 4th Gen Laptop BatteryThe capacity is 90Wh, not 80Wh. Despite this, battery runtime was much worse in the Wi-Fi test, with the X1 Extreme 2021 lasting just under 7 hours. The reason for this isn’t mysterious; the 4K UHD touch LCD screen likely contributes to the higher power consumption compared to its predecessor. Conclusion: It’s best to buy the ThinkPad X1 Extreme 4th Gen with a WQXGA display.
Lenovo has delivered a substantial redesign with the ThinkPad X1 Extreme 4th Gen, improving this already excellent multimedia laptop in many ways. However, there’s still room for improvement.
One of the biggest improvements is the aspect ratio, as Lenovo has switched from 16:9 to 16:10. The ThinkPad X1 Extreme 2021 is also the first ThinkPad to feature a 16-inch display—a promising size. The new model is clearly better for work, as the screen is simply more spacious. Other improvements include the speakers, now located at the top, and a 1080p webcam.
On the other hand, we see a slight step back in the keyboard, which loses a bit of its distinctive “ThinkPad feel” due to its reduced travel. A specific issue with the 4K touch configuration we reviewed is the subpar battery life. Even the larger battery doesn’t help due to the high power consumption. Another point of criticism: the fan can get quite loud under load.
Fast and high-quality, but lacking in stamina. In the configuration we reviewed,

Overall, we can give the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 a clear recommendation, and it also achieves very good scores. However, only users who truly need touch functionality or a digital pen should opt for the WQUXGA touchscreen. This advice also applies to models without a vapor chamber, as Lenovo resolved the ThinkPad P1 Gen 4’s CPU performance issues with a firmware update.
Compared to the Dell XPS 15 and Dell XPS 17, the X1 Extreme Gen 4 is particularly compelling due to its better connectivity. Compared to Apple’s new MacBook Pro 16, you’ll have to compromise on battery life, speakers, and a touchpad, but the ThinkPad has USB-A ports, a better keyboard—and Windows.
