Why did Lenovo stretch the ThinkPad X1 Extreme to 15 inches? To kill the MacBook Pro.
Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Extreme has a mission: to kill the MacBook Pro 15. I’m not just saying that to manufacture drama, either. A Lenovo representative straight-out told me, “this is our MacBook Pro killer,” during our briefing on the product.
I could say, “ vs. legendary ThinkPad keyboard? No contest. End of story.” But the struggle is real: Even though the suffered some performance issues before Apple found a fix, the brand still carries some cachet with corporate users. Heck,my fellow commuters’ laps as I take the train to work.
