My institution orders ThinkPads from Lenovo and gets a great deal on them. This year, we're ordering the brand new X1 Extreme Gen 2.
- i7-9750H
- GTX 1650 Max-Q (4GB GDDR5)
- 32GB DDR4
- 15.6" 1080p display
- 2 Thunderbolt 3 ports + 1 HDMI out
- 4 Years Accidental Damage Protection, ZERO questions asked.
(We have an on-site Lenovo certified repair center.)
I wish I could go for the 4K touch screen, but we can't customize.
For all the armchair lawyers out there: Even though I buy through the institution, the laptop is 100% my property, and IT states explicitly that we can use the laptops for whatever we want, including making money from outside business.
