The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold is the world’s first foldable PC; it is a chameleon of personal computing devices, adapting to its environment and intended for those looking for on-the-go computing in an ultra-mobile form factor. A first in its class experience, the foldable 2K OLED display allows the user to tailor the X1 Fold to utilize a 13.3” screen size within a small novel-sized footprint. Using Intel’s latest Hybrid technology processor, the X1 Fold offers efficiency on-the-go and along with the built-in kickstand, pen, and removable keyboard, allowing the user to be productive in a wide variety of modes. Its Wi-Fi 6 capabilities allow for a faster throughput at home, while optional 5G capability allows you to be connected anywhere. The leather-clad X1 Fold is run through ThinkPad’s durability and reliability tests, maintaining the standards set by the ThinkPad brand.
Multiple Modes and Ultramobile Design
One of the main advantages of the X1 Fold is the multitude of modes that it can be used in. Along with a leather cover with a built-in kickstand, the X1 Fold offers both style as well as function. Remove the keyboard and utilize the kickstand to present information in standing the mode, hold it like a book to read e-books comfortably, keep the keyboard attached for the experience of an extra small laptop system and then pop the keyboard off to take notes from a video in dual screen mode. Lay the X1 Fold flat and mark up documents and sign contracts as if you would be using a tablet with the Lenovo Mod Pen. Folded, the X1 Fold is roughly the size of a standard book at 158.2 x 236.0 x 27.8 mm (6.23” x 9.3” x 1.09”) and can be carried in a smaller bag than the typical clamshell system. At only 2.2 lbs. (999g) it’s easily carted from the office to the airline tray table. When at your desk, the unit can be docked with peripherals like any Type C device.
Intel Processor with Intel Hybrid Technology
The X1 Fold features an Intel i5-L16G7 Core processor with Intel Hybrid Technology. These processors provide a hybrid CPU architecture for power and performance in a dime-sized ultramobile form factor. As some of the smallest processors to provide Intel Core performance, the Hybrid Technology allows for productivity, content creation, and casual gaming experiences on ultra-light and innovative form factors such as foldable screen systems and optimizes for the longest battery life possible.
Mode Switcher Software
To accommodate the many modes of the X1 Fold, the Lenovo Mode Switcher software has been added to the device. Mode Switcher works on top of Windows 11 to allow the user to transition between modes, and have applications displayed properly on the screen, whether it be split-screen or single screen content.
ThinkPad Toughness
Like any ThinkPad, the X1 Fold makes no compromises when it comes to toughness and durability, even with its one-of-a-kind form factor. ThinkPad aspires to be rugged and tough and is tested against 12 military-grade certification methods and 27 procedures (MIL-STD 810H). Additional testing was conducted on the X1 Fold to make sure the screen could handle the stresses of being opened and closed thousands of times, the effects of objects wedged between the screen and more.
Lenovo Mod Pen
The Lenovo Mod pen has a removable cap exposing a USB-C charging port; just a 5-minute charge will give you 250 minutes of use, while 2 hours charge will last for a month. At <18g, it’s light and the form factor makes it easy and comfortable to hold while note-taking on the X1 Fold. Included on the pen there are 2 side buttons that are customizable via the Lenovo Pen Settings App and the pen uses Wacom Pen protocol along with low latency, precise pressure, and tilt detection.
Lenovo Fold Mini Keyboard
The X1 Fold Mini keyboard is Bluetooth compatible and located inside the system, charging simply by being magnetized to the screen when the system is closed. (Note: It can also be charged via Micro USB cable.) You never have to worry about running out of power in the middle of an important task with 8 hours of battery.
Hinge Technology and Foldable Display
The ThinkPad team spent years developing the hinge of the X1 Fold to accommodate for the foldable OLED screen and find a way to prevent the screen from creasing or bubbling when folded for extended periods of time. This required multiple layers of mechanical support underneath the screen that allow the user to see the benefits of the folding technology. The layers provide all the extra support and durability required to be used as someone’s main PC.
Dolby Atmos Sound
The X1 Fold comes equipped with Dolby Access app that uses Dolby Atmos technology to simulate 3Dsound — that is hearing sound in front of and behind you, but also above you. (Tip: This works best with headphones.) Different sound profiles allow you to customize the sound for the correct content (Music, Movies, Games, etc.) or simply allow Dolby Access to identify it and provide automatic adjustments with the Dynamic profile.
WIFI 6 and Optional 5G
Packed with 6 Antennas in a limited space, the X1 Fold is optimized for Wi-Fi 6 connectivity and optional 5G WWAN connectivity despite its small size. With Wi-Fi 6, you can take advantage of advanced data throughput, reduced latency, and higher performance in signal-dense environments. Premier Support is professional 3-year 24/7 technical support available as standard for the ThinkPad X1 Fold, delivered by highly trained technicians. It provides comprehensive support for hardware including software (OEM), prioritized parts availability with on-site repair, advanced technical support provided 24/7, and a single point of contact for end-to-end case management without the need to switch hotlines.
As standard, ThinkPad X1 Fold comes with Co2 offset service. The CO2 OFFSET SERVICE is your guarantee of making a real contribution to creating sustainability and reducing your global carbon footprint. By selecting the CO2 offset option when purchasing the device, you can reduce carbon emissions right from the start, thanks to lighter packaging that reduces fuel burn in transit by 6.7 percent.
