Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 5 review: Even more power in an iconic ThinkPad design

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 5 delivers a ton of performance in a business-style package, though the design isn't for everyone.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme is a very interesting laptop. It comes in that iconic ThinkPad design that's loved by long-time fans of the brand (not me, though), yet it packs a ton of power that makes more sense for a gaming rig than a business laptop. Of course, the idea is that this is a laptop for creative professionals, though I'm left wondering if the people working in design and other creative areas wouldn't also want something that looks and feels a bit more modern than the ThinkPad chassis.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 30th Anniversary Edition review: For when you need Lenovo nostalgia

There were only 5,000 Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 30th Anniversary Edition made, and we got our hands on one.

By

Five years ago, I reviewed the ThinkPad 25, a 25th-anniversary laptop that was based on the design of the ThinkPad T470. It featured a chassis that was based on the ThinkPad T470 with a new keyboard, but few other changes. This year's anniversary model — the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 30th Anniversary Edition (it's a mouthful to say) — is actually based on the flagship ThinkPad X1 Carbon, and the changes are somehow even more subtle.

Lenovo ThinkVision M14d review: Is this great portable monitor worth $500?

The ThinkVision M14d is a sleek, extra portable monitor that can improve your workflow, but is it worth the price?

4
By

There are many ways you can boost your productivity when using a laptop or desktop. The easiest way to do this is to buy an external monitor so you can open multiple windows on two different screens. The problem, though, is that you might still want an extra monitor, even when you're on the go. You might also not have the room on your desk for a full monitor.

Lenovo Legion 5 Pro review: Offering AMD and Nvidia power for all kinds of gamers

The Lenovo Legion 5 Pro is a great gaming laptop with AMD Ryzen 9 6800H CPU and Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti graphics. And it can run any game you think of.

Gaming laptops come in all shapes and sizes these days. Not only are they powerful, but they can also be stylish to suit the needs of serious gamers. However, if you’re like me and mainly use a laptop for daily productivity, you might not want a gaming system that’s too visually striking, but you do want the raw power to play games like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.

Angled view of ThinkPad Z16

Lenovo ThinkPad Z16 review: Big Ryzen energy

The Lenovo ThinkPad Z16 is a laptop that's designed in collaboration with AMD for Ryzen processors, and it's a modern take on a ThinkPad.

4
By

Announced way back at CES this year, Lenovo's ThinkPad Z-series is a modern take on a ThinkPad, a brand that's known for hanging onto legacy components and, frankly, being a little stale. The Lenovo ThinkPad Z16 is larger than the ThinkPad Z13, and now that I've reviewed them both, I actually think the former is the better product.

Lenovo ThinkStation P360 Ultra review: Big power, small package

The Lenovo ThinkStation P360 Ultra is a small 3.9-liter workstation that packs a lot of power for more demanding business workloads.

4
By

The Lenovo ThinkStation P360 Ultra is a new and unique form factor for Lenovo, being a workstation that's about half the size of a typical small form factor (SFF) machine. It's closer to something like HP's Z2 Mini, but it can actually go a bit further in terms of performance. Despite its compact size, it's packing up to 125W processors and powerful Nvidia graphics, and it's designed to be easy to get inside it, so you can always upgrade things like the memory, storage, or CPU.

Lenovo ThinkBook 16p Gen 3 review: A stylish and powerful AMD laptop for creators

The Lenovo ThinkBook 16p Gen 3 is a stylish and powerful laptop thanks to the unique design and AMD's Ryzen 6000 series CPUs and Nvidia RTX graphics

4
By

There's been a new wave of 16-inch laptops recently designed for what I like to call "everyday creators". The HP Envy 16 that I recently reviewed is a good example, and then there's even the Dell XPS 17 which came before that new surge. Those are all great laptops in terms of specs, but they do seem pretty boring when you consider the overall designs. They're also powered by Intel CPUs. The new Lenovo ThinkBook 16p Gen 3, which the firm sent to me for review isn't quite like that at all.

Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 review: Finally, a modern take on a ThinkPad

Lenovo's ThinkPad Z13 is designed for AMD Ryzen 6000 processors, and it's a ThinkPad that actually has an original and pretty design.

4
By

The Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 is a delightful laptop to use, packing AMD's latest Ryzen 6000 processors and an all-new design. Indeed, I first saw the bronze frame with the vegan leather lid back in January at CES, and it was one of those things that I just couldn't wait to get my hands on. After all, when you think ThinkPad, you rarely associate it with modern. It's more likely that you associate it with a black design, the red TrackPoint that's a relic from an age when touchpads were awful, and things like that.

Lenovo Slim 7 Pro X review: A sleek laptop for content creators with some drawbacks

The Lenovo Slim 7 Pro X has powerful specs and a great display on paper, but it has some flaws that make it hard to recommend for everyone.

4
By

The Lenovo Slim 7 Pro X is a laptop designed for content creators, offering solid performance and a very sharp and color-accurate display with Delta E < 1. All the while, it still manages to deliver solid battery life, and it comes wrapped in a sturdy and sleek chassis that looks really good. It offers a really good experience across the board, but it's not a perfect machine.

Lenovo ThinkPad X13s Review: Windows on Arm takes a big step forward, but it's not enough

The Lenovo ThinkPad X13s is here, packing the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 chipset. It's the first Arm ThinkPad.

4
By

I'm always a fan of Windows on Arm, and the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s is the best WoA laptop that's ever been produced. Gone are the days of supposedly premium Windows on Arm laptops that have 4GB RAM and 128GB of flash storage. The ThinkPad X13s comes with a Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD. This isn't for kids anymore.

Lenovo Yoga 7i (2022) Review: A stylish mainstream laptop with a ton of value

Lenovo's Yoga 7i isn't as flashy as the more premium Yoga 9i, but it checks the right boxes for a great overall experience.

4
By

On its own, this year's Lenovo Yoga 7i is an excellent laptop. What I mean by that if that if no one told you that this is a mainstream device, you wouldn't think less of it. It's just that good. It's got a great keyboard that feels awesome to type on, a new design that feels premium, and excellent Dolby Atmos speakers.

Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 Chromebook

Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 Chromebook review: A sequel with much more to offer

The original Chromebook Duet was brilliant, save for lacking performance. Fortunately, the new Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 Chromebook fixes that.

4
By

The original Lenovo Chromebook Duet was an interesting device. I bought one, and I loved it. The portable tablet-based form factor paired with an OS designed for laptop use was a big draw. As was being able to use the few Android apps I actually wanted to use on a tablet. The hardware was excellent, the display was really nice and the keyboard, while small, was good to type on. It had only one problem: It was really slow. ChromeOS performs well enough on basic hardware, but the MediaTek CPU inside the Duet just wasn't really up to snuff.

Lenovo ThinkBook 13s Gen 4 review: It's almost great

The Lenovo ThinkBook 13s Gen 4 is a lightweight business laptop that gets a lot right, but it's not as good as we'd like it to be.

4
By

If you've read any article where I talk about Lenovo's ThinkPad family, you probably know I don't really like how they look. I've never really been a fan of the ThinkPad laptops, and while I respect them for being such an iconic part of Lenovo's history, I just don't like that design. The Lenovo ThinkBook series has always been much more interesting to me, and getting to review the latest ThinkBook 13s Gen 4 mostly proved me right.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 review: The pinnacle of business productivity

Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 once again weighs in at under two and a half pounds, and it's the best business laptop.

4
By

ThinkPad has a long, long history of being a trusted brand for business laptops, and X1 is the flagship. Now on its 10th generation, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon weighs in at under 2.5 pounds, and it doesn't make any compromises to get there. It's made out of the carbon fiber that it's named after, and it has a full 1.6mm keyboard.
