The fourth -generation "ThinkPad X1 EXTREME" has evolved into a notebook PC with the performance of creator: Product Revue

Lenovo's 16 -inch notebook PC "ThinkPad X1 EXTREME GEN 4" is a "MacBook Pro" for ThinkPad fans.The screen size is large and is powerful and suitable for editing photos and videos.It can be said that it is a creator's favorite machine.

It's certainly not cheap, but it's worth it.If you choose ThinkPad X1 EXTREME, you will get more than you paid.

The biggest change in the fourth generation of ThinkPad X1 EXTREME is that the new 16 -inch display has an aspect ratio of 16:10.The aspect ratio of the old model is 16: 9, so it looks small, but in fact it is very easy to use if the screen space spreads slightly up and down.It is a perfect aspect ratio for laptops.

In addition, since a 4K model is also available, it is easy to compare with Dell's popular model "XPS 15".

ThinkPad element

If you are a THINKPAD fan, you need to compare it with Dell.This laptop has all the elements of ThinkPad.

The only elements that disturb the sober black -colored design are the red trackpoints between the red labels called "X1" attached to the lid and the keyboard "G", "H" and "B".ThinkPad's keyboard is different from the previous one (different from the "ThinkPad X220"), but it is still quite easy to use.Keystroke is 1.At 8mm, I feel almost the same weight as the recent PC key.

But for non -ThinkPad fans, Dell may like the use of an organic EL display for XPS 15.It is a pity that Lenovo could not be installed because the image quality alone is quite good with the OLED display alone.However, three types of IPS LCD displays (one of which is 4K image quality) achieves image quality close to organic EL.

The number of ports is clearly more than Dell.On the left is a USB-C Thunderbolt 4 port, HDMI 2.There are 1 ports (compatible with 120Hz external monitors), headphone jack and AC power port.On the right is two USB-A ports and a full-size SD card slot.

Every photographer said that all laptops should have a full -size SD card slot.As a matter of fact, I can't remember which of the last -size full -size SD card slot's laptops I have tested, so the continuous Lenovo deserves praise (like Apple, but some of the causes of this situation.It is at the company).

Power of high -performance graphic card

It's a shame that the display is not an organic EL, but the screen of the test model (resolution 2,560 x 1,600) is perfect.The color gamuts are also wonderful, the SRGB cover rate is 100 %, and the larger DCI-P3 is 83..I cover 5 %.The latter is 0 compared to Dell's XPS 15 organic EL..Only 5 % lower.In addition, the brightness of the panel is 400 Nito and is bright enough.
