In a town of thin and light notebooks, performance-focused laptops, and gamers with Manhattan-like desktop systems, Lenovo has taken a step in a direction that many dared not take. As the monotony of laptop system design reaches a saturation point, a change needs to happen. But how? Implanting chips into the human body with Elon Musk’s Neuralink so that we don’t need laptops anymore? Well, that’s a topic for the future, but what we have now is the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold, a laptop with a foldable screen. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold itself has a leather finish, and when folded, this texture looks like a book-written diary. Now, folding is only half of the experience. The real thrill is opening it up. You put your finger in the gap, try to open it, and the laptop’s screen opens. You can actually feel the entire screen folded in front of you. While your eyes are admiring this sci-fi product in the real world, a hero is working behind the scenes to make it all possible, and that’s the hinge. The entire machine is military-grade certified and durable. As a high-end product, the ThinkPad X1 Fold comes with a dedicated customer service staff, and if you choose, you can also get more than 3 years of excellent warranty support.
Screen The highlight of the system is the folding screen, which is a 13.3-inch OLED panel that supports touch input. The 2K resolution display is very clear and the colors are very vivid. If we don’t talk about the folding aspect for the time being and only talk about the display, the color reproduction is very good, and the clearer resolution brings a good reading experience. The screen brightness is sufficient, and we set the brightness of the device to 60% when testing.
Originally, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold was planned to run on Windows 10X to achieve maximum efficiency of the folding screen. But in the end, the device now comes with regular Windows 10 Pro, which contains a lot of customization and adjustments from Lenovo. One of the notable features is the Lenovo Mode Switcher, which is automatically triggered when you fold the device. It allows you to use the entire display as one screen or split it into two screens and use them separately.
The stylus can also be used to draw and type instead of typing on the virtual keyboard on the screen. Lenovo has packed so many little features into the system that make the Windows experience on the ThinkPad X1 Fold a lot better. But there are some issues.
The screen orientation sometimes gets stuck in landscape or portrait mode, which requires manually switching (on/off) the orientation in the display settings. Also, the computer sometimes may not exit mini-computer mode after removing the keyboard. These are some software issues, and since the ThinkPad X1 Fold is the first of its kind, Lenovo says a fix will be available soon. Selective connectivity, no headphones required!
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold only comes with two USB Type-C ports. No Ethernet, no USB-A, no headphone jack, and no display output. The compact form factor and the inclusion of new display technology have resulted in the omission of quite a few space-consuming ports on the device. Disappointingly, USB-C audio is not currently supported. This means you can’t connect regular 3.5mm or USB-C headphones directly to the machine. The only way to connect headphones is through Bluetooth.
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold BatteryLife
When we used the ThinkPad X1 Fold in Balanced mode on battery settings, the 50Whr battery lasted for about 4-5 hours. In Performance mode, the battery life dropped by about an hour, but the overall responsiveness of the system improved. You can also try to use it for a few more hours in Power Saving mode. We mainly used the ThinkPad X1 Fold in Balanced mode at about 60% brightness, which gave us an average of about 5 hours
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold Battery Life.
The 65W charging adapter takes about 90 minutes to charge the machine from 0% to 100%. You can also use the device while charging, but this will slow down the charging speed. The battery life feels short considering that it is an OLED display that is considered power-efficient.
