Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 4 cũng như phiên bản Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 3. Khung và vỏ máy làm từ vật liệu sợi carbon và magie không những chống va đập tốt mà còn chống bám bẩn và những vết trầy xướt nhỏ. Bề mặt soft-touch mềm mại và mượt mà mang lại cảm hứng rất “đã tay” khi sờ vào.
Bàn phím, touchpad
Ấn tượng đầu tiên với bàn phím, touchpad và trackpoint trên Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 4 được gói gọn trong 2 từ "thân mật". Vẫn một thiết kế được không thay đổi sau hơn 20 năm qua, những đường nét trong bộ nhập liệu và điều khiển của Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 4 mang đúng phong cách của thương hiệu này. Đó là một bàn phím trông có phần thô kệch, nhưng tạo cảm hứng chắc như đinh, là touchpad với 3 nút bấm kèm theo, ở đầu cuối một nút red color vẫn ở đó ngay giữa bàn phím.
Loa
Loa X1 Carbon Gen 4 khá ấn tượng, không thật lớn nhưng vượt trội so với thân hình "nhỏ nhắn" của nó. Nằm gọn ở mặt dưới, nhưng âm lượng hoàn toàn có thể bao trọn một phòng thao tác hơn 20 mét vuông. Chất âm ở mức khá, không gặp hiện tượng kỳ lạ rè hay méo tiếng, âm trường đủ rộng để bạn xem phim, nghe nhạc trong không khí yên tĩnh.
Khả năng bảo mật thông tin
Thinkad X1 Carbon được trang bị kĩ năng bảo mật thông tin với 3 công cụ đó đó là Chip TPM (Trusted Platform Module), bảo mật thông tin vân tay và cả Intel vPro. Đầu tiên, chip TPM có trách nhiệm bảo vệ tài liệu của bạn khỏi những can thiệp phần cứng. Con chip này được gắn ngay trên bo mạch chủ Thinkpad X1 Carbon, trường hợp kẻ tà đạo tháo máy, đánh cắp ổ cứng, thì khi gắn lên một máy khác, cũng không thể truy cập vào tài liệu bởi thông tin mã hóa đã được lưu trên con chip TPM trong máy bạn.
Với kĩ năng bảo mật thông tin bằng vân tay, dòng Thinkpad thậm chí đã trang bị công nghệ tiên tiến này từ rất lâu trước khi nó phổ biến trên bộ sưu tập smartphone lúc bấy giờ. Ngoài kĩ năng bảo mật thông tin, nó cũng giúp bạn mở máy vô cùng tiện lợi nữa.
Trên Thinkpad Carbon X1, bạn sẽ thấy có một số trong những cổng link và công nghệ tiên tiến link không dây đặc biệt, ít xuất hiện trên những máy notebook thông thường. Đầu tiên là cổng OneLink+ ,nằm ở cạnh trái của máy. Có thể coi cổng tiếp xúc này là một "Thunderbolt" do Lenovo phát triển. Hãng này ra mắt một thiết bị mang tên OneLink, là một chiêc dock với rất nhiều cổng link tích hợp rất khác nhau, bạn hoàn toàn có thể thiết lập dock nói trên qua cổng OneLink+ của Thinkpad và sử dụng những chuẩn link trên máy không còn sẵn.
Thứ hai là WigiG, một thiết bị tương tự như OneLink, chỉ khác một điều nó không sử dụng link có dây, thay vào đó là thiết lập qua sóng WiFi.Sau cùng là kĩ năng sử dụng MicroSIM trên Thinkpad X1 Carbon. Nằm ở mặt sau của máy, có một vị trí chứa khe cắm thẻ nhớ MicroSD và MicroSIM. Với một chiếc SIM di động thông thường, bạn hoàn toàn có thể thuận tiện và đơn giản sử dụng những link 3G /4G để truy cập Internet mọi lúc mọi nơi, một tính năng rất nhiều người marketing thương mại tìm kiếm.
Với những link vô cùng tiện dụng, Thinkpad X1 Carbon hoàn toàn có thể thuận tiện và đơn giản ghi điểm với những người dân ưa sự đơn giản, tiện lợi và sự linh hoạt.
Hiệu năng
Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 4 trang bị vi xử lý Core i5-6300U, kiến trúc Skylake tiên tiến nhất của Intel tính tới thời điểm hiện tại. Vi xử lý này còn có xung nhịp 2,4GHz và mang tới kĩ năng thao tác tuyệt vời, đáp ứng tốt cả những tác vụ đồ họa văn phòng. Điểm mạnh mẽ và tự tin của Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 4 nằm ở SSD 240GB của nó, đây là ổ cứng thể rắn sử dụng tiếp xúc M.2 mang tới tốc độ cao, cho hiệu năng sử dụng rất tốt.
Kết quả trên đã cho tất cả chúng ta biết CPU của X1 Carbon năm 2022 có mạnh hơn phần nào so với phiên bản 2015 của chính sản phẩm này, điều này chắc như đinh nhờ vào vi xử lý Skylake trên tiến trình 14nm vượt trội hơn Broardwell trước đó.
Điểm Benchmark toàn khối mạng lưới hệ thống với ứng dụng PCMark 8 tiếp tục chứng tỏ Lenovo đã tập trung tăng cấp sức mạnh phần cứng cho X1 Carbon 2022, ở những khuôn khổ chấp điểm như kĩ năng thao tác cơ bản, kĩ năng thực hiện đồ họa và điểm số vui chơi mái ấm gia đình, phiên bản mới đều mạnh hơn từ 15-20% so với thế hệ cũ.
Riêng về kĩ năng trò chơi play, chắc như đinh Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 4 không được đánh giá cao với nhân đồ họa tích hợp Intel HD Graphics 520. Tuy vậy, những người dân tiêu dùng lựa chọn Thinkpad X1 Carbon là người marketing thương mại, vốn đề cao tính linh động và bảo mật thông tin của thiết bị hơn là trò chơi play trên thiết bị thao tác của tớ.
Thời lượng pin
Nhà sản xuất quảng cáo viên pin 4-cell của tớ hoàn toàn có thể sử dụng trong 5 giờ đồng hồ. Thử nghiệm thực tế đã cho tất cả chúng ta biết số lượng nêu trên là khá đúng chuẩn. Trong khoảng chừng thời gian ngắn sử dụng Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 4, chiếc máy này thuận tiện và đơn giản đáp ứng được 1 ngày dài thao tác và vui chơi.

Các Máy Thinkpad X1 Khác
When Lenovo launched the ThinkPad X1 Extreme in 2022, you could clearly tell which competitor it was targeting: The Dell XPS 15. Consequently, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 1's configuration configuration was close to that of the Dell XPS 15 9570 the time, with a few additional business features. Little has changed in the formula in all the following generations; Lenovo has stuck to CPU/GPU updates, meaning that last year's Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3 was still based on the same design as the first model.
This changes with the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4. The new model has a new design and also sets itself apart from the Dell XPS series to a greater extent for the first time: Instead of counting on a 15-inch LCD like Dell and expanding the lineup with a 17-inch model, Lenovo has chosen something in between by switching to the 16-inch format, which is becoming increasingly more popular. As a result, not only does the X1 Extreme 2022 have to face Dell's XPS competition, but also Apple's latest MacBook Pro 16 with its ARM CPU.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4Lenovo has been bold enough to throw the familiar ThinkPad design traits out the window with some models from the ThinkPad X1 series, such as the ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 6 - more metal surfaces, no black chassis color. In contrast, Lenovo has stayed true to the typical ThinkPad design with the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4, which resembles the X1 Carbon Gen 9. The exterior carbon surface of the display lid, which is exclusive to the 4K UHD models, is also in line with this.
Its texture is barely perceptible, and it's subtle enough not to look pretentious. Grease stains are quickly visible and difficult to remove. This is the most annoying characteristic of the rubberized material that provides the Lenovo máy tính with a good grip. An interesting mix of materials continues to be used underneath the coating: Carbon fiber plastic for the A-cover or display lid, aluminum for the bottom cover/D cover, and magnesium for the palm rest/C cover. Our touch model specifically has a glass panel in front of the monitor. There are no noticeable vulnerabilities, and both the display cover and the base unit can hardly be twisted.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 is perfectly built. However, the heavy display panel with its glass pane can only be opened with two hands. Nonetheless, a full opening angle of 180 degrees is still possible.

Compared with the predecessor, our touch version of the X1 Extreme Gen 4 weighs about 300 grams (~10.6 oz) more. This makes the weight comparable with that of the Dell XPS 15 9510 and the Apple MacBook Pro 16. The Dell XPS 17 9710 is considerably heavier 2.5 kilograms (~5.5 lb).
In terms of size, the Lenovo máy tính is somewhere between the XPS 15 and XPS 17 - larger than the former, smaller than the latter. Despite the larger 16:10 screen, the size has hardly changed compared to the X1 Extreme Gen 3; Lenovo has primarily reduced the display bezel below the monitor.
Fortunately, Lenovo has almost kept everything the same in terms of connectivity. Unlike the Dell XPS 15 and XPS 17, USB-A ports and HDMI are still present. The only change is the upgrade from Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 4.
Left: Slim Tip power supply, 2x Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, 3.5 mm audio jack
Right: SD card, 2x USB A 3.2 Gen 1, Kensington lock
Contrary to the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3, the SD card reader doesn't fully accommodate the SD cards anymore, so it's not suitable for permanent storage expansion. In return, it proves to be a model with above-average speeds in our benchmarks with the 128 GB AV PRO microSD V60 reference memory card.
In the variant under review here, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 only includes one communication module, the Intel Wireless AX210. This is a 2x2 Wi-Fi module that supports the latest Wi-Fi 6E standard. The ThinkPad máy tính performs accordingly well in our Wi-Fi benchmarks and joins the ranks of laptops that are also equipped with this Intel WLAN solution.
The ThinkPad X1 Extreme 2022 is also optionally available with WWAN (5G).
The X1 Extreme Gen 4 is one of the first ThinkPad laptops to be equipped with a 1080p webcam. However, images captured with it are not much better, and the Lenovo ThinkPad continues to lack a camera that's actually good.
As a ThinkPad, the X1 Extreme Gen 4 also targets the business segment. For this purpose, it offers many security options like a fingerprint reader (integrated into the power button), an infrared camera for Windows Hello, a Kensington lock slot, and a mechanical camera shutter. No longer present: A smart card reader.
Seven ordinary cross-head screws have to be loosened; the screws remain stuck in the case when they are unscrewed. Afterwards, two clips between the hinges need to be released, and the base cover can be immediately removed then.
Unlike all other X1 ThinkPads, the X1 Extreme has upgradeable RAM. The SSD can also be upgraded, and the second M.2-2280 slot is available as well in our review sample. However, the Wi-Fi module is soldered. An M.2 slot for WWAN is available, but not the antenna and SIM slot. The battery and cooling system are easy to replace or clean, but replacing the keyboard is complicated. According to the Hardware Maintenance Manual, the Lenovo máy tính needs to be completely disassembled for this.
ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 - View of the interiorA three-year warranty comes as standard with more expensive ThinkPads from Lenovo, but only with bring-in service. Having the device repaired home is possible, but on-site service is charged extra. The same is true for an extended battery warranty, accident protection, and an extension of the warranty period to five years.
At first glance, the backlight keyboard of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme G4 doesn't appear to have undergone any dramatic changes. This is misleading, because Lenovo has reduced the key travel from 1.8 to 1.5 millimeters, and the keycaps are slightly lower as well. We already saw these changes in the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9, even though the keyboard of the larger X1 Extreme continues to have the full standard width. This makes the switch easier, even though the typing experience will naturally still be different. The keys simply have less depth.
It's still an excellent keyboard with concave keys and an ideal pressure point; the competition in the form of the Dell XPS laptops and the Apple MacBooks can still be beaten in this regard - but the lower key travel brings the keyboard closer to other "modern" keyboards, which results in the special ThinkPad flair becoming somewhat lost.
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 - Keyboard areaLike the keyboard, the touchpad seems unchanged, but it has actually undergone some changes as well, since Lenovo has made it wider. The area of the matte glass trackpad measures 11.5 x 6.5 cm (~4.5 x 2.6 in) now. All in all, it's still a very good trackpad with an integrated click mechanism that can be used to control the mouse cursor easily as well as perform multitouch gestures.
The red TrackPoint can't be missing on any ThinkPad. The pointing stick, manufactured by ELAN in this case, makes it possible to move the mouse cursor accurately and quickly without taking your hand off the keyboard. While the TrackPoint itself is virtually unchanged, its mouse buttons are not: The three dedicated TrackPoint buttons are now flat, as has been the case on the X1 Carbon since 2022. After a short familiarization period, the buttons are just as easy to use as the mouse buttons on the older ThinkPads.
Touchscreen
Besides the touchpad and TrackPoint, our test device also features a 10-point multi-touchscreen as an additional alternative. It works flawlessly and is ideal when you want to zoom into pictures on the fly. The pen compatibility is much more unusual for non-convertibles; the screen can also be operated with a Wacom AES digitizer. Nevertheless, a pen was not included.

Backlight bleeding (represented in an intensified way here)Lenovo implemented the most important change in the display: Instead of being a 15.6-inch one in the 16:9 format, it's now a 16-inch screen in the 16:10 format. There are also considerable changes when it comes to the available options: Full HD (1920x1080) as the base resolution as well as OLED are both history; instead, Lenovo provides a choice between QHD/WQXGA (2560x1600) and 4K UHD+/WQUXGA (3840x2400) LCDs.
Our test device is equipped with a WQUXGA display, namely the semi-glossy touch variant. We were already able to test the panel installed here in the matte non-touch variant of the Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 4. Lenovo advertises it with a brightness of 600 cd/m², and the LG panel in our test device delivers an average of 612 cd/m². This makes it brighter than all competitors, beating both the OLED panel in the Dell XPS 15 9510 and the miniLED LCD in the Apple MacBook Pro 16 in SDR mode. Positive: The IPS panel in the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 doesn't experience PWM, unlike the XPS 15 OLED. One drawback, however, are the high response times.

Saturation (calibrated)There is a "Color Calibrated" sticker on the palm rest, and Lenovo also preinstalls some color profiles. Out of the box, there are a few deviations with the default profile. We used the CalMAN software and the X-Rite i1Pro 2 colorimeter to analyze the display. Calibration with the X-Rite i1Profiler leads to better measurements.
The display is of high quality, even if the contrast and black level aren't entirely the highest level. Both the sRGB and AdobeRGB color spaces are almost fully covered, so this 8-bit + FRC panel is well suited for simple image editing.

In comparison: 52 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 22169 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.
The ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4's viewing-angle stability is beyond reproach.
The Intel CPUs available are: Two Intel Core i7s (i7-11800H, i7-11850H), and one Core i9 (i9-11950H). In addition, there are four Nvidia GPUs: The RTX 3050 Ti, RTX 3060, RTX 3070, and RTX 3080. Furthermore, the X1 Extreme Gen 4 can also be configured without a dGPU.
The maximum RAM capacity is 64 GB of DDR4-3200 memory, and two SO-DIMM slots are available for easy upgradeability. Our review sample also comes with two M.2-2280 slots for SSDs, but this is only available in the models with the RTX 3050 Ti or an Intel GPU.

CPU-Z SPDThe Intel Core i7-11800H is the entry-level model among the i7 CPUs of the H-series. As an H-CPU, the typical TDP for this Tiger Lake processor is 45 watts, with clock rates of 2.3 to 4.6 GHz. Our CPU Benchmarks article can be used for detailed comparisons with other processors.
Our configuration of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 is comparable to that of the ThinkPad P1 Gen 4 that we already reviewed. In the meantime, however, Lenovo has released a new UEFI version that has changed the power limits: In Boost mode, the processor can use a maximum of 70 watts, after which its consumption stabilizes 55 watts. This is considerably more than in the ThinkPad P1, resulting in much better CPU performance for the X1 Extreme. Compared to the X1 Extreme Gen 3 predecessor, the CPU runs 67% faster.
There's a slight CPU performance reduction on battery power: The processor can't make use of the boost to 70 watts here and is limited to 55 watts.
* ... smaller is better
We measure the general system performance with PCMark 10. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 achieved a good result here, which is superior to that of the predecessor.
The fact that we still experienced problems when using the device is not a result of its performance - instead, the graphics problem that we had observed in the P1 Gen 4 is also present here. We suspect a driver problem with the Intel graphics driver - the bug didn't occur with the Intel GPU disabled in the BIOS.

GPU-Z Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 TiThis Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 is equipped with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, which is the entry-level option among the Nvidia graphics chips. Compared with the other GPUs, this chip is noticeably the slowest variant, since it's limited to a TGP of 35 watts. Starting with the RTX 3060, Lenovo provides the X1 Extreme Gen 4 with a better cooling system that uses a vapor chamber and grants the GPU a TGP of 80 watts.
The P1 Gen 4 with the RTX 3070 and the vapor chamber is 70% faster in the cumulative results of the 3DMark tests. In comparison to the GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q. found in the predecessor, the RTX 3050 Ti is 46% faster in turn.
The RTX 3050 Ti is also exactly 46% faster when plugged into a power source. As a result, the GPU performance of the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 is considerably reduced on battery power.
Our GPU Benchmarks article can be used for general comparisons with the RTX 3050 Ti.

The two fans of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme 2022 remain off in idle use. When the ThinkPad is put under load, the fan becomes loud quite quickly. The approximately 43 dB(A) in the medium-load test is already very audible. Under maximum load in the stress test, Lenovo lets the fan run much louder around 52 dB(A); no other comparison device is louder this point.
We were unable to hear any coil whine in the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4.

Stress test (Prime95 + FurMark)Temperatures concentrate around the center of the case when the device is under load in the stress test and in our The Witcher 3 test. This is true for both the top and bottom sides of the base unit, with the area above the keyboard being a hotspot 49 °C (~120 °F). The ThinkPad remains relatively cool in idle usage, although the predecessor scores better in this respect.
The CPU can consume 35 watts in the stress test when the processor and graphics chip are simultaneously under load, which means that throttling takes place. In contrast, the Nvidia GPU can use its maximum consumption the whole time. The CPU throttling in the stress test should have little to no impact in everyday use; running 3DMark 11 after the stress test produced a normal result.

Stress test (top)
Stress test (bottom)Lenovo has moved the speakers from the bottom to the top, so that the stereo speakers are now placed to the right and left of the keyboard. This new position definitely benefits them, and they deliver a suitable performance for a multimedia máy tính. However, they can't compete with the best-in-class Apple MacBook Pro 16, and external speakers or headphones are better as well.

Power consumption is already extremely high in idle usage. At around 10 watts, the X1 Extreme Gen 4 consumes twice as much as its immediate predecessor, which we reviewed with a more energy-efficient Full HD LCD. The comparison with the P1 Gen 4 4K is also interesting: The X1 Extreme consumes more power; we suspect the touchscreen to be the cause.
The ThinkPad máy tính consumes a maximum of 147 watts under load. This is within the range of what the 170-watt power adapter can supply.

Charging time: 111 minutesThe Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 can store more energy than its predecessor. The internal battery's capacity is 90 Wh instead of 80 Wh. Nevertheless, the battery runtime is considerably worse in the Wi-Fi test, since the X1 Extreme 2022 only lasts slightly less than seven hours. The reason for this is no mystery; the 4K UHD touch LCD is probably responsible for the higher power consumption compared to the predecessor.

In review: The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4Lenovo delivers a substantial redesign with the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4, which improves the already good multimedia máy tính in many aspects. Nevertheless, there's still room for improvement.
One of the biggest improvements is the aspect ratio, as Lenovo has switched from 16:9 to 16:10. The ThinkPad X1 Extreme 2022 is also the first ThinkPad with a 16-inch display - a size with a promising future. The new model is clearly better for working because the screen is simply more spacious. Other improvements include the speakers, which are located on the top now, and the 1080p webcam.
On the other hand, we see a slight step backwards when it comes to the keyboard, which has lost a bit of its unique "ThinkPad feel" due to the shorter travel. A specific problem of the 4K touch configuration that we reviewed is also the below-average battery life. With the high power consumption, even the larger battery is of no help. Another point of criticism: The fan can get quite loud under load.
Fast, high-quality, but lacking endurance: In the configuration that we reviewed, battery life is the greatest weakness of an otherwise very good Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4.
Overall, we can give the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 a clear recommendation, and it also achieves a very good score. However, only users who really need touch functionality or the digitizer pen should opt for the WQUXGA touchscreen. This recommendation also applies to models without vapor chambers, since Lenovo solved the CPU performance problem in the ThinkPad P1 Gen 4 with a firmware update.
Compared with the Dell XPS 15 and Dell XPS 17, the X1 Extreme Gen 4 is especially compelling due to its better connectivity. Compared with Apple's new MacBook Pro 16, you have to compromise in terms of the battery life, speakers, and touchpad, but the ThinkPad has USB-A ports, a better keyboard - and Windows.

At the time of writing, you can find the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 directly in the manufacturer's online store. Several configurations are available here, with the one most similar to our review configuration (Core i7-11800H, RTX 3050 Ti, WQXGA (2560x1600) anti-glare IPS display) having a current price of around $1,900 (~2,155, 40% off). A model with the same processor but with the RTX 3060 and a WQUXGA (3840x2400) anti-glare (non-touch) IPS display will set you back about $2,130 (~2,416, 45% off). Alternatively, you can also find several configurations of the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 on Amazon.
