Lenovo Thinkpad Exterem gen 4

[jrichards1408]

It looks like Lenovo listed the machine a few hours ago. It was “Coming Soon” earlier today, and now there are a few SKUs available. The pricing, though, is absolutely bananas, as Lenovo list pricing usually is. I hope they add their sort of “default” discounts soon.

In the UK site?

$3179 starting price. You’ve got to be kidding me. MacBook Pro all the way.

Prices have already come back to earth a little. Pretty quick for Lenovo.

Think I won't bother.

I have a Gen 1 that had some major issues.

First the motherboard had to be replaced because the hdmi stopped working and then the battery had to be replaced.

And another where the laptop screen didn't turn on so another motherboard update.

Thankfully I purchased the on site warranty and each time the engineer came to my property to fix it.


The battery life is still terrible tbh and the fan's are always on whenever i do any task on it.

I have basically stopped using it for work because of it and now use my dedicated AMD based desktop.
