Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold, further optimized to improve the user experience in any scenario

Lenovo has taken good note of the user experience of the first generation of the ThinkPad X1 Fold arriving in 2020 –my colleague Alejandro was able to prove it for this analysis–.

In this new version, both the behavior, quality and features of the screen have been improved, as well as the response of the software, which now adapts better to the way it is used, while the redesign of the 200 pieces that form the hinge has made it possible to eliminate the space that remained between the two halves, leaving a 17.4mm thickness.

The ThinkPad X1 Fold comes out of this update equipped with an Intel vPro that meets the mobility demands of Intel Evo, with Intel 12th Generation Intel Core i5 and i7 Processor accompanied by a GPU Iris Xe. To all this is added a M.2 SSD storage up to 1TB and RAM options up to 32GB LPDDR5.

It has a 4:3 aspect ratio that allows you to change the orientation to use it both horizontally and vertically to view video content with a 600nit brightness and support for Dolby Vision.

This versatility has been enhanced with a better recognition of the orientation and the level of folding, reconfiguring parameters such as the distribution of the stereo sound when changing the orientation of the laptop enhancing the experience with content encoded for Dolby Atmos.

The ThinkPad X1 Fold allows you to add a optional portable external keyboard that incorporates a stand that allows the ThinkPad X1 Fold to be placed vertically on a table to make better use of the screen space for comfortable editing of texts.

That same keyboard can be magnetically attached to one side turning the X1 Fold into a conventional 12-inch laptop, or use the on-screen touch keyboard that appears when the laptop is folded.

Connectivity is an important point for a laptop designed for mobility. The new ThinkPad X1 Fold features three USB Type-C ports, including two Thunderbolt 4, Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity and WiFi 6E. Security is provided by a fingerprint sensor controlled by a TPM 2.0 chip.

The battery capacity of the second generation ThinkPad X1 Fold allows you to configure two options: the basic starts at 48Whr, but a second 16Whr battery can be added during the configuration of the laptop, thus improving its autonomy, although at an additional cost.
