The ThinkPad X1 Fold is a foldable laptop from Lenovo, which is part of the ThinkPad X1 series, known for its business-oriented and premium features. It was introduced in 2020 and is designed to be a versatile device that can function as both a tablet and a traditional clamshell laptop.
Key features of the ThinkPad X1 Fold include:
1. Foldable Display: The most distinctive feature is its 13.3-inch OLED display that folds in half, turning the device into a compact tablet. When unfolded, it can be used as a full-size laptop.
2. Flexible Display Technology: The screen uses flexible OLED technology, which allows it to bend without damage to the display.
3. Dual Screen Mode: The X1 Fold supports dual-screen mode, which allows users to use both halves of the display simultaneously, with each half functioning as a separate screen.
4. Keyboard and Trackpad: When the device is in clamshell mode, it has a full-size ThinkPad keyboard and a precision touchpad, making it suitable for productivity tasks.
5. Performance: It is powered by Intel's 10th Gen Core processors and comes with up to 16GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD storage.
6. Security: As with other ThinkPad models, the X1 Fold includes ThinkShutter for physical privacy, a fingerprint reader, and a ThinkPad privacy control app.
7. Connectivity: It offers a range of connectivity options, including Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.1, and a USB Type-C port.
8. Durability: The device is designed to be durable, with a MIL-STD 810H certification for resistance to drops, dust, and extreme temperatures.
The ThinkPad X1 Fold is aimed at professionals who need a versatile device that can adapt to different work scenarios, from presentations and meetings to detailed work that requires multiple screens. However, due to its premium price and the relatively new technology involved, it is not widely adopted yet and remains a niche product in the market.
