Windows on Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme is finally what Arm laptops should have been
I have two WoA laptops - SP11 (X1P) and Lenovo T14s (X1E). I also have a Ryzen 7 T14s from work. The difference could not be more night and day. I hate to do anything on my AMD work laptop, it is so frustrating - bleeding battery when it's supposed to be in sleep, constant fan noise even while doing

I second the ThinkPad P1. You would want the P1 instead of an X1 extreme. The P1 is a true workstation system with professional grade nvidia graphics that have ISV certifications for the apps you'll be using for your engineering stuff. Not saying Lenovo is perfect but they do tend to fail less than

MacBook of the Linux World
I have a ThinkPad X1 Extreme from 2019 with an OLED screen, and I think the burn-in fear is a bit overstated. Mine does have some faint burn-in from a game I'd often have on for hours at a time, but even on a 6+ year old screen it's not that noticeable (pretty much only on a bright white background)

Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 2 worth it in 2026?
Don’t buy. The X1E Gen2 is horrible. It had a serious keyboard issue and many other drivers issues. I had one and Lenovo replaced it for a Gen3 under warranty (which I still have, and works okay).

Beli Thinkpad via Shopee/Tokopedia
Mau kasih heads up kalau mau beli seri X1, terutama X1 Carbon, X1 Extreme. Ini lini flagship, speknya premium dan sering jadi target kanibalan oknum nakal. Part aslinya mahal jadi ada oknum refurbisher Indo yang beli unit bagus, ambil part premium-nya, terus dijual lagi. Yang paling sering kejadian

New Laptop Suggestions for heavy SPSS and MPlus use
I have been using a LENOVO ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 for five years and been very satisfied with it. It came with 64gb of RAM, which is way more than I need, although I did run something that used all of it once or twice. The best add-on for me was an external monitor so I have two screens.

Recommendations for laptops? (Psychology)
Regardless of the brand, aim for these minimums: Processor: Intel Core i7/i9 (13th Gen or newer) or AMD Ryzen 7/9 (7000 series or newer). RAM: 32GB DDR5 minimum, but 64GB DDR5 would be ideal if the budget allows, especially for Mplus and large SPSS runs. Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 or RTX 4060

ThinkPads are no longer as appealing as they used to be
I gave up on Lenovo ThinkPads in 2019, in part because I bought 3 for me and my friends, and they all broke down within a year and were pretty much constant trouble (x1e G1 and g2) and then because I was living in Hong Kong at the time during the crackdown, which the CCP began in July and continues

Returning my X1 Extreme Gen 4 - Here's why
Hello - I have been running a similar spec X1E (i711800H, RTX 3060, 16GB RAM) that I purchased in 2021, primarily on power desktop style for business use and some travel here and there. I can confirm the build quality is good. I had 1 screen replacement within the first year due to what I understand

Framework 13 Feedback
You are having almost exactly the same experience as me, only I was coming from a frustrated Linux experience on a ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen3, which was supposed to be the best Linux experience (Or I used to think that...) Oh boy was I wrong... I cannot be happier with this laptop... I am using Kubunt
