How many is too many?

The ThinkPad X1 Extreme supports up to four independent 4K monitors, making working with complex computations, day trading, or analyzing big data a cinch. What's more, the optional IR camera includes Mirametrix Glance technology, which merges face-, eye-, and gaze-tracking, so the cursor automatically focuses and application windows shift just by moving your eyes! You'll enjoy a more intuitive and productive interaction, especially when displaying across multiple monitors.

Stay connected

The ThinkPad X1 Extreme includes Intel® Thunderbolt™ 3—the technology that brings lightning-fast data transfer up to 40Gbs to USB-C.

So you get Thunderbolt, USB 3.0 data transfer, and DisplayPort all rolled into one.
