    Solved! Is it really true that there is no negative impact on the laptop if I undervolt the CPU using XTU?

    Solved! Is it really true that there is no negative impact on the laptop if I undervolt the CPU using XTU?

    Solved! Is it really true that there is no negative impact on the laptop if I undervolt the CPU using XTU?

    How to fix the problem? Return it within the return period for a refund and buy the same model or get one with i5/Xeon E-2176M CPU? It seems that other users of X1E and P1 also have fan noise issue.

    Solved! Should I downgrade the CPU of my Thinkpad X1E from i7-8850H to i7-8750H or i5-8400H?

    Hi, I bought a X1E with i7-8850H, 32GB RAM and two 1TB SSDs. I have noisy fan issue even I just surf the internet or send email. Will exchanging a model with i7-8750H or even i5-8400H CPU solve the noisy fan issue?

    Hi, I used Windows 7 on my Mac as a dual boot system for almost 20 years. I always used Norton Internet Security. Now, I got a Thinkpad with Windows 10 pre-installed, is it better to just rely on Windows Defender or just install Norton Internet Security? I wonder if using Norton Internet...

    Hello, between the i5 and i7 CPU, are there noticable differences in terms of battery life, heat level and performance? I am trying to decide a CPU for the X1 Yoga Gen 3. Thanks
