True to its promise back in May 2019, Lenovo today has officially revealed the full details of its ThinkPad X1 Fold. Still being touted as the first ever foldable PC in the world, the device is said to have been in development for more than four years.
Equipped with a flexible 13.3-inch QXGA (2048 x 1536) pOLED touch display with brightness level of 300nit and DCI-P3 coverage of 95%, the device is powered by a yet-to-be-named Intel Core processor. Since the chip also apparently features “Intel Hybrid Technology”, there is a possibility that it is the upcoming Intel Lakefield processor which features hybrid computing architecture.
Thanks to its foldable nature, users can choose to utilize the 5G-ready X1 Fold in so many ways. If they prefer to use it like a traditional laptop, they can put in a landscape mode with the help of the integrated kickstand inside the device’s leather folio case.
From there, they can choose to type directly on the lower part of the screen or uses the Bluetooth Mini Fold Keyboard which can be stored and wirelessly charged inside the X1 Fold itself when you closed it up. Of course, users can also choose to utilize the X1 Fold which also comes standard with an active pen just like a tablet.
