There are many dedicated gaming laptops that look the part, which is either a good thing or bad thing, depending on your vantage point. Not all of them do, however. Lenovo’s new ThinkPad X1 Extreme (Gen 2) is a good example. From the pictures we have seen, it looks like a sleek business laptop, because it is one, but it also rocks one of Nvidia’s latest Turing GPUs
There are many dedicated gaming laptops that look the part, which is either a good thing or bad thing, depending on your vantage point. Not all of them do, however. Lenovo’s new ThinkPad X1 Extreme (Gen 2) is a good example. From the pictures we have seen, it looks like a sleek business laptop, because it is one, but it also rocks one of Nvidia’s latest Turing GPUs for gaming.
Specifically, the newest iteration packs a GeForce GTX 1650 GPU. That’s the newest addition to Nvidia’s Turing family, and also the cheapest. By extension, that means it’s also the least powerful of Nvidia’s latest generation GPUs—and it’s the only GTX 16-series card that uses the last-gen Volta NVENC encoder instead of the Turing NVENC.
