[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for a new laptop and saw this ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 laptop. Checked the specs and it had the 1TB SSD and 32 GB Ram I wanted and also has the i9 vPRO processor. It was shipped very quickly and I have had no issues with the laptop. Really like the facial recognition.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a professor I've been teaching and training over Zoom and my ThinkPad x1 (non-extreme) could not push playing video's over zoom while pushing my own camera image and a PowerPoint. I upgraded to the X1 Extreme and while is it not as thin as my other X1 having the video card is night and day in pushing the video and other images while teaching over Zoom now. If you have lots of online meetings or teach and need to share screens and video get the X1 Extreme with the video card and a bit of extra ram and you will be fine with this power house. I almost only use Lenovo as well as many of their models still allow for basic upgrades like memory, ram, network cards, etc.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Always been a loyal fan of ThinkPad as a developer. Strong and powerful as always! It'd better if the price could drop lower.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy with my recently purchased ThinkPad X1 Gen 3 laptop! It does everything that it is supposed to do. I love the keyboard. The laptop is sleek, light, and elegant. The only thing I would like to see different would be the life of the battery, but you do have to consider that it is a powerful computer and hence the battery usage.
