I just want a ThinkPad that has some actual graphics acceleration. I was really wanting to buy one for my recent work machine, but without a decent high powered graphics card it limits the usefulness for my workflow.


Is a 1050ti a decent high powered graphics card? https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpad-x/Thi...


Unfortunately not quite enough for the money I ended up settling with. I'm hoping in the next couple of months we see some 6/8GB card options out of the box


And if you need even more graphics power there's the P52 and P72, assuming you're willing to accept a larger and heavier laptop.


Yay for the new speakers but too bad they reduced battery capacity though, especially combined with the new 4k screen option this is quite concerning.

Also I like the carbon fiber but it just sort of looks fake on these images, what it looks like in reality remains to be seen (literally). Dell did it right with their XPS cf palmrest.


Guess I still have to wait for a 13/14" ultrabook with 32GB of ram.


Categorically opposed to 15"? X1 extreme ships with 32GB, and apparently it has room for another module. Quite sleek too.


The ThinkPad T480 can support up to 32GB of ram.
