Man, I've been interested in laptops recently, you can probably tell
0:04
I've been using MacBooks for years, and recently, you know, bumping into some problems
0:09
Keyboard issue that keeps on flaring up. But in the meantime, I've been experimenting a lot more with Windows and the wide variety of choices that you have
0:18
Look at that. All the way down to there. Kirk was telling me he's at yoga the other day. What pose is that
0:25
Sleeping dog. It's a sleeping dog, you see? I know my yoga. It's just a little bit more exciting to be honest because there's more choice
0:32
Did a video on this guy here. This is the X1 Carbon Lenovo ThinkPad
0:37
Two and a half pounds. It's got an anti-glare display as well
0:41
which I've actually grown to really like using near a window. Prior to that, the Surface Laptop 2 that I have here is mostly aluminum
0:50
with, of course, the Alcantara interior. As much as I wanted to love this one
0:56
The keyboard was just a little bit too flimsy. Maybe I'm hammering a bit hard when you put them in a showdown between the X1 Carbon and this one
1:06
The keys themselves? Yeah, I mean, they're nicer. They're nicer on the laptop by a touch
1:12
I just gravitate towards that one. You have tablets and iPads and smartphones and so many different devices competing for your attention
1:19
And when you reach for one of these, you want to have a nice keyboard experience, a nice display experience
1:24
The speaker experience haven't been super happy with on the X1 Carbon
1:28
Salute to speed. There's a McLaren logo. The speakers on this are not as nice as pretty much any MacBook that I used So anyhow that brings us to today the X1 Extreme This is the Lenovo equivalent to the MacBook Pro
1:44
This is the workstation. This is the GTX 1050. This one has a Core i7 in it
1:49
This is configurable up to 64GB of RAM. In fact, if you buy this laptop in the form of the P1
1:56
then you could be looking at Intel Xeon processors in a laptop. It's got two slots for SSDs, but the craziest part about this is it still comes in incredibly light, right at four pounds
2:07
So think MacBook Pro, think thin and light. Ooh, okay, here we go
2:11
This one has a 4K display on it. That's a ton of pixels for a laptop, but it does come at the expense of being a bit heavier compared to the X1 Carbon
2:21
I mean, you're going to notice the difference. More screen real estate on this side
2:25
It actually supports quick charging. 135 watt power brick which isn't even that huge think of quick charge for your smartphone but for
2:34
your laptop and it's about time that took place they've gone with a proprietary connector here
2:38
i think it's worth it in exchange for quick charge on your laptop it's got the soft touch to it it's
2:44
all business but that's all right it just says i want to get the job done nothing extra you have
2:49
an sd card slot a couple of usb ports over here there's a kensington lock two thunderbolt 3 usb
2:55
Type-C connectors, HDMI out, Ethernet breakout, and also a headphone jack. Much different than
3:01
the Apple approach on the MacBook. The Rapid Charge will bring this laptop up to 80% of
3:08
its total battery capacity in a one hour charge Okay cool This one there a little bit more room on the deck The trackpad looks a little bit larger than the X1 Carbon let take a quick peek at that yeah
3:21
It's a bit taller and the fingerprint scanner moved. This one they say is anti-reflective
3:26
but it has glass over top, so it's going to be more reflective than the one that I'm currently
3:32
using on the Carbon. This is the best to look at this. Like why don't more laptops do that
3:37
Let me go flat if I have to. That is crazy. So if you're all about contrast and vibrance and so on
3:43
this is probably the display that you're going to select if you go with this particular system
3:48
Having 4K resolution in something that's 15 inches, I mean, that's a ton
3:52
That's some serious pixel density going on there. Let me do a little bit of typing on this keyboard. I'm curious
3:58
Quick brown fox jumped over that lazy dog. I love these keyboards man. I didn't realize how deprived I had been for so many years
4:13
Butterfly key switches when we even when they worked like you just feel like getting after it
4:19
It's like the carbon with some added stability if typing is of utmost importance to you
4:24
Apparently the audio performance is better here than it is on the sixth generation
4:30
generation carbon. That's a hundred. And today I feel like I hope that I've uncovered some value
4:37
It does sound better than the X1 carbon. It's still not MacBook Pro level sound. The fans are jumping on a little bit
4:44
Again we got we got hotter hardware I mean that the bottom line And the screen I seeing a lot more color and saturation in the video when compared to the 1080p display like that a pretty good looking image right there not a reality for
4:59
everyone in the 4k display is so nice to look at but it's going to increase your power consumption
5:05
obviously you can go in and and create some some very customized versions of that product you can
5:12
spec this unit with an i5 and i7. Like I said you can go to the workstation version
5:19
where you can go all the way up to a Xeon. And it's not even over once you own the thing
5:23
cause you can pop this bottom off right here and you can actually upgrade it yourself
5:28
You can throw another SSD in there. It's actually pretty easy to do. And they don't mind you doing it
5:32
You're not like voiding a warranty or anything like that. Is the extra horsepower worth the added weight
5:39
scale, size and so on when compared to the X1 Carbon, which I've been liking
5:45
Look at the way I handle that with one hand. I've been liking this so much
5:50
It might be for me and my day-to-day tasks that this is a bit more convenient
5:55
I don't really know yet, but I'm real interested in what Lenovo is doing with the ThinkPad line
6:00
It's got me fired back up. If you're like me and you've been on a MacBook
6:04
for a really long time, it might be the time to take a glance back
6:08
It's the extreme version. It's the desktop replacement sort of workstation, little bit of gaming
6:15
It's like the powerhouse ThinkPad. If you're looking for something smaller, lighter, this is 2.5 pounds
6:21
Go check out the video that I did on this. Laptops, they're cool. Get one
6:25
