ThinkPad X1 Extreme

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 have a ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen1 (Intel Core i7-8750H, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti) in everyday use (backend development with Docker containers). It still does the job well, but I do not play games and use it mostly with a docking station. The battery life is not impressive and never was.

Hey! Sounds like you’re trying to ditch the desktop without ditching the performance — totally doable these days, especially with the new wave of lightweight powerhouses. Since you’re used to an i9-12900 and 32GB RAM, you’ll want something with at least an Intel i7/i9 13th or 14th gen (or the new Co
