Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme is coming out with something gamers in the market are all searching for but have little luck buying, the NVIDIA GFeForce RTX 3080! The Lenovo laptop is packed into a slim hardware in a lightweight carbon fiber body.
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme New Laptop
According to a story by Engadget, the ThinkPad X1 Extreme is definitely the high point of a brand new launch.
The unit is housed in reinforced carbon fiber in order to keep the weight down, making it very thin and very light at just under four pounds and 17.7mm.
The latest model will have a new hybrid cooling system along with some of its traditional heat pipes, keyboard air intake, large vapor chamber, and even a dual bypass design that is meant to ultimately help improve the total air circulation.
For those curious as to why extra cooling is needed, it is because of the specs that the unit packs.

NVIDIA RTX 3080
As of the moment, however, buying the NVIDIA RTX 3080 from online retailers is nearly impossible to do at its SRP. Scalpers have been buying out any available stocks, making it harder for buyers to purchase directly from online retailers. What's more, they end up reselling it for almost double the SRP, or more.
The ThinkPad X1 Extreme 4th Gen is a good choice for those that might want to game on a high specs laptop. Check the laptop out on the official Lenovo website.
