Lenovo may not have had the huge success it dreamed of with smartphones, but when it comes to the PC segment, the company still reigns supreme.
The company is constantly investing in new technology to keep its Thinkpad line attractive. Now, in an effort to continue advancing the technology, the company has released the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Fold as the company's first foldable PC. The device was launched by Lenovo at CES last year and is now making its way to India. It's crazy when you see how many months have passed since the device debuted, but considering the pandemic, it's nice to see that it's finally happened.
Technical characteristics of Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Fold
The new Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Fold can be used as a laptop and comes complete with a keyboard. However, it also has a multi-layer hinge design that allows the display to bend. Thanks to this feature, the X1 Fold can then be used in tablet form.
Thinkpad X1 Fold is equipped with an OLED display. It is also equipped with an Intel Core i5 processor with integrated 11th generation Intel UHD graphics. In terms of RAM, it comes with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and has up to 1TB of PCIe-NVMe M.2 SSD storage.
The device flaunts a 13,3-inch OLED display with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels. The panel also offers touchscreen support, a brightness of 300 nits and an aspect ratio of 4:3. As for the software, the device comes loaded with Windows 10 Pro.
It can be assumed that it will support the free upgrade for Windows 11 Pro as soon as Microsoft releases a new version of the software.
As already mentioned, the device has a strong multi-layer hinged construction. The hinge is tested for 12 military grade certification methods and 27 procedures (MIL-STD 810H). According to the Chinese company, the PC has undergone additional tests to ensure that the display can withstand the stresses of opening and closing thousands of times.
