Pros and Cons

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4

Strengths

Lenovo has finally reached the potential they had always promised with the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4.
The laptop features some pretty serious dedicated graphics on board, including Intel Core i7 and Core i9 H-series processors.
You have a great selection of ports to choose from, which is a relief in these days when some laptops are going USB-C.
The optional 5G feature is a nice touch for those who need it.
The durable build quality is classic ThinkPad and feels totally worth the look.
The keyboard is very tactile and feels good to type on, with 1.8mm of key travel.
The battery life is decent, lasting around 9 hours in light productivity work scenarios.

Weaknesses

The price starts at $1,770 for a Core i7 and 3050 TI GPU configuration, which can get quite pricey for the top-of-the-line model with the 3080 and i9 processor.
If you want to upgrade to the 3080 GPU, it's tied to the Core i9 processor in the US, which might be a drawback for some users.
The trackpad feels fine, but it's not particularly noteworthy compared to other laptops.
The keyboard travel feels slightly shorter than usual, although typing on it was still pleasant.
The battery life could be better in more demanding scenarios.
The configuration options can be limited if you want specific features like the 3080 GPU with a Core i7 processor.
The ThinkPad look might not be to everyone's taste.

LG gram Pro 16

Strengths

The laptop has a lovely OLED screen, which is available in a base model starting at $2,100.
With the 3050 GPU, the laptop performed significantly faster in gaming, video editing and other tasks.
The laptop's battery life was pretty good, lasting 10 hours in video playback test and getting you through a full day with mixed everyday use.
The webcam is quite impressive, offering 1080p resolution, which is not bad even with changing lighting conditions.
The laptop's fans don't get overly noisy, and it's not going to be silent like the fanless MacBook Air.
The LG gram Pro 16 has a very good range of ports, including an option for USB-A, Thunderbolt, HDMI, and more.

Weaknesses

The base model with OLED screen starts at $2,100, which is a lot of money considering the cost of other laptops.
If you want the 3050 GPU, you have to double the RAM and storage to 32GB and 2TB, adding an extra $300.
There are cheaper OLED options available in smaller and heavier designs, making this laptop feel like a premium at its price point.
The MacBook Air lineup has been refreshed with better design, speakers, webcam, touchpad, and keyboard, making it a strong competitor.
While the LG gram Pro 16 is very light, there are compromises on weight and size compared to other laptops with faster GPUs.
The base model OLED version starts at $2,100, which may be too expensive for some users, considering the cost of other laptops.
