Title: A worthy successor to the ThinkPad X1 Extreme – Lenovo ThinkPad T1g Gen 8 review
Post by: Redaktion on January 25, 2026, 12:01:55
Lenovo's ThinkPad T1g Gen 8 steps in as the successor to the much-loved ThinkPad X1 Extreme, delivering a highly capable multimedia laptop with powerful hardware, a matte tandem OLED touch display and what may well be the finest keyboard Lenovo has ever put into a ThinkPad.

Quotemaximum of 64 GB RAM
I agree, if this is the successor to the Extreme, how come it only supports up to 64 GB RAM. With 96 GB RAM, Gpt-Oss-120b (with almost full context*) or GLM-4.5-Air (quant) could be run.

* = go to huggingface.co/spaces/oobabooga/accurate-gguf-vram-calculator, paste huggingface.co/unsloth/gpt-oss-120b-GGUF/blob/main/gpt-oss-120b-F16.gguf into the calculator, set context to full and see the required RAM size.

Also, only 8 GB VRAM for 4500 bucks? Imagine what kind of desktop PC one could build for this sum + getting a much cheaper laptop with still 8 GB VRAM.

@ Dg
right

What about the mass storage performance?
In addition, it appears that it is better to just get the Yoga Pro 9i with a better screen for almost half the money. I dont really see what value we get for an additional USD2,000
