* All battery life claims are approximate and based on results using both the MobileMark® 2014 battery-life benchmark tests. Actual battery life will vary and depends on many factors such as product configuration and usage, software use, wireless functionality, power management settings, and screen brightness. The maximum capacity of the battery will decrease with time and use.

The ThinkPad X1 Extreme supports up to four independent 4K monitors, making working with complex computations, day trading, or analyzing big data a cinch. What's more, the optional IR camera includes Mirametrix Glance technology, which merges face-, eye-, and gaze-tracking, so the cursor automatically focuses and application windows shift just by moving your eyes!
