right yeah yeah shall we so you know I
mean the backstory is well documented on
the Internet I've always been bouncing
between various laptops it's an
important part of my my gadget kit we do
know very well I'm trying to like figure
out what he wants I was mostly using the
smaller ThinkPad x-series laptops but
maybe I should pay more attention put
more time into the 15-inch model you get
the bigger screen you can get graphics
if you want since the last time I looked
at a 15-inch ThinkPad they came up with
another one and a new x1 extreme version
- if you look at the side of the box
actually this it's a second seat and the
reason I'm interested in this model
specifically use the fact that this one
has an OLED display now I know the
audience is likely split on whether or
not you think OLED makes any sense at
all in a laptop the beauty here with
Lenovo is they let you customize 4
different screens on here including 3
that are not OLED so if you don't want
that you got plenty of 500 nits options
your big NIT guy right well I like the
nits bright OLED funny enough the OLED
display is actually a hundred fewer nits
than the IPS version mhm but anyhow it's
also 4k it's multi-touch and has Dolby
vision HDR 500 so this is the highest
end display inside of this package of
the bunch that you have options for now
I have looked at an OLED laptop before a
gaming laptop from Razer and I've been
using that if you've been watching Lou
later the show downstairs that's been on
the desk for a couple of episodes you
get the extra screen real estate well
you know what you can do with that games
it's the box inside the box so this one
here is 135 watts it packs in the nvidia
geforce gtx 1650 max-q 4gb that's the
graphics are gonna get in this package
they give you a Type C cable a breakout
Ethernet cable and they gave you a pen
check this out oh nice button this is
quite a robust metallic pen and this is
type of thing gets Willy do very excited
when he sees the pen with the art
background that's Willy do his origin
story it's his history yeah ooh there is
there you go get in there there you are
you're familiar with the look of a
carbon fiber weave it's kind of nice you
get reminded of the actual construction
when you look at the appearance on the
outside of the lid we have our power
port as well as an LED light a couple of
type-c connectors with the Thunderbolt 3
icon as well you have a full size HDMI
port networking breakout port for that
cable I showed you earlier you have a
headphone jack Oh an SD card built-in SD
card slot - typical standard old-school
USB ports and a locking section I
believe this is for a smart card over
here the speaker grills you can see
located on the bottom side those are
gonna reflect off the table of course
I'll test that out in a moment and this
is where the whole thing really happens
as far as I'm concerned the keyboard
what happens on the inside over here
trackpad is a fairly large size of
course because it is part of the
ThinkPad series for me this is like thin
and light decent battery what's the best
display I can get on a laptop right now
what's the best keyboard I think like
this is sort of how I'm looking at and I
like the versatility of ports as well
again from the workstation mindset
mostly that's the OLED and it's vibrant
it's obvious to me I mean there you go
so touch screen display also this screen
is blazing my retinas right now it's the
I 9 98 ath 2.3 gigahertz it will turbo
up - that is the turbo they do they they
do later dirt they sure do they call it
turbo boost it that's up to four point
eight gigahertz 32 gigs of DDR for RAM
you have a one terabyte nvme SSD so
these things obviously it's a beast but
it's important to note you do not need
to spec out this second generation X one
extreme up
four grand plus this is like their
top-of-the-line topic you could do a
custom build with the OLED screen and
some less heavy specs on the SSD and the
RAM and probably save a few bucks that
way if you choose to now let's go ahead
and test the speaker's real quick I
imagine that if they can bring it in at
this rumored 399 price point that's just
gonna be an aggressive price point so if
Ming Chi is right on that now you have a
play in other markets India and so forth
they want that Apple logo but they don't
want the Apple price tag and we all know
the Apple price tag is well established
at this point so some other specs here
when of our videos ever look this bright
on a laptop screen Jack we're gonna
contrast in that image holy moly I mean
there you have it that's really at least
for me that's the killer functionality
that's the that's the item that kind of
gets me excited at this point in laptops
I had this experience with OLED on
televisions where you look at it and
you're like man that is that's different
that's advanced that's a that's the new
tech and it's a matter of time for it to
bubble down bubble usually things bubble
up simmer down simmer down into the
lower price points more people can adopt
the new tech I think the same thing will
take place in laptops we might not be
there yet but you guys should know what
the fringe is looking like for that
potential future in which accessibility
to these types of technology improves
through cost and so forth for now all
that's gonna remain at that top tier
level these displays are tougher to make
smaller ones they figured it out
obviously with smartphones because they
hit they can hit that volume figure but
still in the case of Apple well you have
the main iPhone 11 the big volume model
is not gonna be an old ad model
currently you know I'm saying and that's
the model that's moving so you can see
even in Apple's case getting the cost of
all that into the place where most
people want to pay even on smart phones
where they're much easier to cultivate
in the small form factor
the bigger the old let gets the tougher
they are to make is my limited
understanding of how these things are
developed so TVs still have that heavy
price tag as well associated with them
laptops are gonna be in the same boat
for a while but for those that are on
the privileged end of the spectrum in
terms of their potential laptop options
this is gonna be
that's a feast for the eyeballs will you
don't even understand oh yeah I see it
yeah feast your eyeballs really do
it's beast in face them
