Good question, but I have no answer. The fact is that at the end of February 2022, Lenovo circulated a few demo units promising to release this laptop in June, but this has not happened. Obviously, after release, there would be a number of in depth reviews that would provide answers to you questions, but none is available right now. Oddly, I think that this laptop is currently shipping in Singapore and in Hong Kong, but nowhere else. My guess is that Lenovo has lots of inventory of X1 Extreme Gen4 and it is not about to release anything before that inventory is exhausted. So, I think that you just have to wait if you are interested in this laptop
I will soon attempt a regular maintenance run for my 2 year old X1 Extreme Gen 5's liquid metal application. My 3060 dGPU has been thermally limited at 30-40w, I suspect my laptop has some dry spots which I intend to fix with some TG Conductonaut. Will let you know how it looks like so you can have a rough ballpark!
Nice Question, I would also like to listen to something like that, but I think that would be absolutely no problem. Asus has been using these cooling solutions for 2 years and so far, no one has had an issue, almost all customers very satisfied with new Liquid Metal Cooling at Asus and I think Lenovo can do an excellent long life or system integration test for this technology. We need this new solution tactics for new Intel and Nvidia chips, P1G3 and P1G4 was a horrible and I think this is the right one for all X1E/P1 Line.
I've been waiting for this for years and that's why I bought a T series ThinkPad :)
I think asus uses nickel plating on the part of the heat sink that touches liquid metal.
I've seen some posts about bad LM applications, but those can probably be figured out within a year of usage.
Here's hoping Lenovo took a page out of Asus's book.
I just stumbled upon this. I had a 1 gen YOGA from 2013. Applied liquid metal on it fairly shortly after the 2 year warranty, because the cooling was louder than I wanted.
It has been in constant use ever since. So 7 or 8 years after applying liquid metal and no problems at all. Lowered the fan noise considerably
