The most important and immediately visible change is undoubtedly its size. The first-generation ThinkPad X1 Fold used a small 13.3-inch screen that severely limited its potential, while its successor makes the leap to a massive 16-inch 4:3 OLED panel that’s not only much larger, but also 25% slimmer. And in addition, now it closes completely flat, when in the previous model it left a small gap similar to that of an excessively full wallet.

The use of a larger screen makes it possible to use the laptop in a greater number of contexts. Attached to its new base, we can use it horizontally, vertically, vertically by placing the keyboard on top or vertically with the screen slightly folded, thus enjoying a large work surface but more adaptable to the narrowness of a train or plane seat. , where space does not abound. And of course, it can also be used as a large tablet.
Logically, the hardware has also been suitably revamped. There are 12th generation Intel Core processors with Iris Xe graphics, up to 32 GB of RAM and a number of ports that we could define as “adequate”, with two Thunderbolt 4 and a conventional USB-C 3.2 Gen2 next to the Nano-SIM slot. Speaking of accessories and expansion capabilities, support for the Precision Pen remains, which provides 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity.
As noted by Lenovo, the new ThinkPad X1 Fold will go on sale in November with a US base price of $2,499. A high fee, although it is fair to say that it now comes with a pen and keyboard included.
