Lenovo did a fine job on the design of the ThinkPad X1 Extreme. It's a thin, sleek-looking notebook that houses a solid collection of ports. In order to attach countless accessories or hook up an ethernet cable, you're likely going to need a dock. Here's a short selection of the best out there.
Premium dock: CalDigit TS3 Plus
Lenovo added numerous ports to the ThinkPad X1 Extreme, but in case that wasn't enough, CalDigit's TS3 Plus should be at the top of your list thanks to its addition of 15 ports, up to 85W of power to charge the laptop, and sturdy construction.
Value dock: Plugable Thunderbolt 3 Dock
With up to 60W of charging, support for 4K displays at 60Hz, and myriad other ports, this Plugable dock is a solid option for those on tighter budgets. It doesn't have quite as many ports as our CalDigit pick, but it's also about $60 cheaper, making it the runner-up if you can't get your hands on the TS3 Plus
Portable dock: StarTech.com Thunderbolt 3 Dock
Looking for a more compact dock that you can more conveniently carry around with your notebook? You'll want to have a look at this portable option from StarTech. This dock offers a single USB-A 3.0, RJ45 Ethernet, and two DisplayPorts.
The ideal dock for your Lenovo ThinkPack X1 Extreme depends on what you need to use with the notebook. If you only need some more USB ports, a budget dock like the CalDigit TS3 Plus would do just fine. Other docks will provide additional features like a LAN port.
