Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme w/OLED Display Finally Released
October 07, 2019
​ 
It took three months – from May to July – until the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 2 was first orderable. Now, two months later, the 15.6 inch OLED premium multimedia laptop has reached "full availability" status. Compared to May, when only a few fixed configurations could be ordered, the ThinkPad X1 Extreme is fully customizable now at lenovo.com. Lower-end options with Intel Core i5 processors and a 256 GB SSD have brought the starting price of the ThinkPad X1 Extreme 2019 down to $1,721 (from $2,049 in May). Lenovo is now also offering more high-end models. Notable is the addition of the Intel Core i9-9880H, the first hexa-core CPU for the ThinkPad X1 Extreme. Another premium-addition is the OLED screen, which has a 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160) resolution as well as multitouch support. The most expensive pre-configured model, which costs $3,149, contains the OLED screen as well as the i9-9880H and 32 GB RAM & a 1 TB SSD. Alternatively, the OLED screen can be added to any other configuration. As a single upgrade item, it costs $380 extra, which means the X1 Extreme with an OLED screen costs at least $1,987.
