CES 2020: Lenovo Announces the ThinkPad X1 Foldable PC at $2,499
Jan. 7, 2020Lenovo is also doing some neat software tricks on the ThinkPad X1 Fold to make the foldable form factor more useful. Since Windows 10 X is currently not out, Lenovo is using Windows 10 Pro in the laptop, but the company does plan on releasing a version with Windows 10 X when it’s available later this year.
You can put two different windows on each half of the screen, allowing for multiple use cases such as the option to compare two documents, one on each screen, or take a video call on one screen while making changes to a presentation (or taking notes) on the other. Otherwise, you could just type on the lower screen.
The ThinkPad X1 Fold also comes with a dedicated wireless hardware keyboard allowing for a more traditional laptop experience, and the keyboard can be kept safely inside the fold of the laptop, where it’s held securely in place with magnets, and is also charged wirelessly.
Also announced is a stand that props up the X1 Fold on a desk, allowing users to use the entire 13.3-inch display as a regular display and use the wireless keyboard along with it.
