92.4% A worthy successor to the ThinkPad X1 Extreme – Lenovo ThinkPad T1g Gen 8 review | Notebookcheck
Lenovo's ThinkPad T1g Gen 8 steps in as the successor to the much-loved ThinkPad X1 Extreme, delivering a highly capable multimedia laptop with powerful hardware, a matte tandem OLED touch display and what may well be the finest keyboard Lenovo has ever put into a ThinkPad. Update: SD-Express tested
90% Lenovo ThinkPad T1g Gen 8 review: This Windows business laptop reminds me of a fully specced MacBook Pro alternative — with a few caveats
Source: Techradar English
All in all, this laptop has been wonderful to use. I have most appreciated the parts and the reliability of this machine. Being able to plug in any device I may need without having to carry a dongle is peace of mind that I do not take for granted. It has ports to jump in and out of whatever they are solving, and it's portable enough to carry around from place to place (even though they're not going want to walk around holding this in their hand anytime soon).

70% Lenovo ThinkPad T1g review: A jack of all trades, but it works
Source: PC World English
Don’t let the Lenovo ThinkPad T1g’s branding fool you. This is not a business laptop, and while it works as a portable workstation, it’s not that either. The ThinkPad T1g is best understood as a prosumer machine for people who need one laptop that can handle both demanding work applications, like video editing or 3D modeling software, and demanding entertainment like PC games. The T1g’s only real downside is not a trait of the laptop itself. It’s the competition. Asus’ ProArt P16 gets my nod over the T1g, as it can be had with similar hardware at a similar price and offers better overall GPU performance. The Dell XPS 16, Alienware Aurora 16, and Razer Blade 16 are also competitive on value. So, why choose the ThinkPad T1g?

16.00:

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.
