I have to admit 4K is battery-hog, especially portable laptop that doesn’t have a good battery life. I got a T series ThinkPad T580, it has front and rear batteries, built like tank with nuclear powerplant. That’s why I am not so worried about my 4K screen.

i looked at the T580 as a possibility myself before the x1 extreme was announced but id pretty much settled on the dell as it was a fair amount smaller and lighter.

i thought long and hard about the 4k screen but i think ill just get myself a separate 4k screen as really the only thing id need 4k for is movies, i dont really have a need for a high resolution for anything else

thankfully they have now added the x1 extreme to the UK website and its not quite as pricey as i was expecting, i fully expected a 1:1 $ to £ conversion but the base model comes in at just over 1400, bumping the cpu up to i7 brings it up to just over 1600 but thankfully my sister works for the NHS so i can get a 10% discount, im keeping the rest of the specs at base, i can add extra ram and a second ssd at a later date
