I do have a first-gen X1 Extreme. After hearing a lot about Thinkpad's build quality and sturdiness, the X1E was kind of a let down. It came with a wiggly keycap (which I had to replace by myself)...
I do have a first-gen X1 Extreme. After hearing a lot about Thinkpad's build quality and sturdiness, the X1E was kind of a let down. It came with a wiggly keycap (which I had to replace by myself) and a wonky plastic piece around the screen that does not click into place; the bios updates slowed down the fans and now the CPU heats up like crazy, even after repasting. I guess it's not built like other "regular" Thinkpads, and maybe Lenovo fixed some issues in the following generations, but I was still kind of bummed out. Screen is great though, and the awesome keyboard is the best thing about the laptop and it makes it still worth it.
