Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme 4K vs. FHD

[Redaktion]

We already reviewed Lenovo's new ThinkPad X1 Extreme with the optional 4K HDR screen. It is a good screen, but there are some drawbacks as well, so we were eager to find out how the standard 1080p display of the entry-level SKU performs. We already have a test unit and want to compare the basic measurements of the two models ahead of the complete review.

Do you know when you'll have the review done? There's a sale going on right now and I'm quite eager to make the purchase! :)

Thanks!

From the photo it looks like 1080p is better for the sunny environment, no?

4K UHD panel with a matte screen protector applied is better for shades than the FHD model. Neither is quite bright enough to be used under direct sunlight, which demands at least 450 nits of brightness.
