You’re not buying a

ThinkPad for games, but

the X390 does nicely

against similar laptops in

3DMark’s graphics test.

ThinkPad X390, which

took about 65 minutes

to encode our test

.MKV video file to a

smaller .MP4 file.

Dell’s XPS 13 fared

better, but overall it

shows that the laptop

makes good use of its

quad-core CPU over a

prolonged period of

heavy use.

As for Cinebench,

which tests the CPU in

short bursts, the X390

fell in the middle of the

pack among Core

i7-8565U laptops for

multi-threaded

performance. That

said, it did well in the

single-threaded test,

which better reflects

While the multi-threaded

results are nothing

special, the ThinkPad

X390 does well in

Cinebench’s single-

threaded benchmark.
