Built to go on and on. And on.

Like all ThinkPads, the X1 Extreme Gen 2 is tested against 12 military-grade requirements and more than 200 quality checks to ensure they run in extreme conditions.

From the Arctic wilderness to desert dust storms, from zero-gravity to spills and drops, you can trust this laptop to handle whatever life throws your way.

Go from 0 to 80 in 60 minutes

The ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 2 delivers up to 14 hours of battery life¹. If you’re running low, Rapid Charge provides 80% capacity in just a hour². A 60-minute lunch break or a layover can easily boost your battery up to 12 hours. What more could you need for life on the go?

¹All 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.
²Rapid Charge requires 135W AC adapter.

Stay connected

Move data between the ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 2 and your other devices quickly with USB-C Thunderbolt™ 3 technology, which simultaneously supports high-resolution displays and high-performance data devices.

How many is too many?

The ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 2 supports up to four independent monitors—making working with complex computations, day trading, or analyzing big data a cinch. What's more, the optional IR camera includes Glance technology, which merges face-, eye-, and gaze-tracking. That means the cursor automatically focuses and windows shift with just a move of your eyes! You'll enjoy a more intuitive and productive interaction, especially when displaying on multiple monitors.
