Summary

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold is finally on sale. That’s right, after over a year of waiting, the first folding PC is on the market.

And that’s not just any folding screen inside the ThinkPad X1 Fold. It’s a 13.3-inch 2K OLED panel, and one Lenovo claims will last all day. Plus, there’s optional 5G and an attachable keyboard, making the ThinkPad X1 Fold —  which looks more like an actual notebook when folded than any laptop I’ve ever tested — one of the most mobile PCs yet

“Creating the world’s first foldable PC is a major engineering challenge, but Lenovo is more than up to the task,” said Christian Teismann, President, Commercial PC and Smart Device Business, Lenovo. “Our legendary ThinkPad heritage has given us the foundation for progressive design over the years to now build an engineering masterpiece with X1 Fold, a new category of device that comes along once in a decade.”

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold design

Clad in a leather cover, the ThinkPad X1 Fold doesn’t look at all like a computing device, until you unfold it. Made of 11 layers — 5 of which are screen — the X1 Fold’s chassis includes carbon fiber, which helps ensure it lives up to Lenovo’s claims of MIL-SPEC-level durability. 

Lenovo’s even added some new tests, including a drop test with the keyboard attached inside, as well as a folding test where messy detritus — you clean your crumbs out of your keyboard, right? — are inside the folding screen. 

The X1 Fold is also designed to prevent dents and impacts on the screen, thanks again to the aforementioned carbon fiber. 

The ThinkPad X1 Fold looks like a fancy leather notebook when closed. The front cover is layered in luxurious leather that you’d see on a pricey handbag, and a glossy black panel adds an attractive contrast. 

Open the X1 Fold and your eyes will be greeted by a gorgeous flexible OLED display. The benefit of a foldable screen is that, when closed, the X1 Fold’s horizontal length gets cut in half. Of course, this doubles its thickness; The X1 Fold is 1.1-inches thick, which is twice as thick as the thinnest laptops. On the other hand, the PC is just 6.2 inches wide when folded. 

At 2.2 pounds, the ThinkPad X1 Fold’s weight is closer to a featherweight laptop than a tablet so you won’t have any problems carrying the X1 Fold around or putting it into your backpack during your commute to the office.

The ThinkPad X1 Fold’s thick bezels give users a place to hold so you don’t accidentally swipe the display. That thick frame also offers a buffer between the flexible plastic screen and the outer edge for added production. 

I was really impressed during my hands-on testing of the ThinkPad X1 Fold. The X1 Fold’s multi-link hinge kept the OLED screen perfectly flat so that the center crease was only noticeable at an angle when viewing content.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold display

You really have to see the X1 Fold’s display for yourself to appreciate its beauty. There’s something mesmerizing about holding an LG OLED panel. The deep blacks, incredibly vivid colors and blinding brightness suck you into the ThinkPad X1 Fold’s 13.3-inch panel. 

We got to feast our eyes on the panel at CES 2020, and I can’t overstate how wonderful it feels to hold an OLED display in your hands. The flexible 13.3-inch display has a QXGA resolution (2,048 x 1536 pixels), which gives it a 4:3 aspect ratio. The panel can reach a maximum of 300 nits of brightness, a solid if someone lower rating than expected. The color is capable of covering an impressive 95% of the DCI-P3 color space. 

All these numbers mean you’ll love streaming your favorite TV shows and movies on the ThinkPad X1 Fold’s flexible OLED display.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold durability

Lenovo is doing everything it can to assure you that the ThinkPad X1 Fold will be more durable and reliable than past foldable devices. 

After testing six different designs, Lenovo landed on a multi-link torque hinge mechanism that manages stress when you fold the PC. This allows the ThinkPad X1 Fold to twist into various modes, so you can transform it into a book, tablet with a panel, or a clamshell laptop. The hinge felt sturdy yet I had no problem opening and closing the X1 Fold. 

That hinge combines with a lightweight magnesium alloy frame and a carbon fiber-reinforced plates to reduce creases and scratches in the display. That OLED display has gone through "extensive durability testing," according to Lenovo and should be able to withstand hard taps, tracing and even drops. 

With military-grade testing, this is a ThinkPad device.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold ports

The ThinkPad X1 Fold will have two USB Type-C ports, one on the bottom and another on the edge of the top cover. There is also a SIM card slot so you can connect to your wireless carrier’s 5G network. 

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold keyboard

The X1 Fold is essentially a foldable detachable 2-in-1. With an attached keyboard you can pair it with Lenovo’s Bluetooth Mini Fold Keyboard, which is designed specifically for the X1 Fold. 

You can use the keyboard with the full 13.3-inch display or when the device is folded in half so that there are two 9.6-inch displays. In the latter orientation, the keyboard can be placed on the lower display and the top panel will work as your primary screen.

The Mini Fold Keyboard is a definite improvement over the on-screen keyboard.

When you’re done using the ThinkPad X1 Fold, you can charge and store the keyboard via magnets on the inside of the foldable PC. Best of all, the keyboard fills the gap created by the X1 Fold’s hinge.

X1 Fold connect a full-size keyboard and mouse and a second display via USB Type-C and quickly place the device in the optional ThinkPad X1 Fold Stand in portrait or landscape mode. Users will enjoy the performance benefits of a complete desk solution.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold performance

This is what we’re most curious about. While a lot of the newly announced PCs feature Intel 11th Gen Tiger Lake CPUs, the ThinkPad X1 Fold features an Intel Lakefield Core i5 processor and 8GB LPDDR4X 4267MHz of RAM. That sounds like enough for decent multitasking.

Outlook

PCs with foldable displays are still something of a mystery, but Lenovo just provided the closure we’ve been needing. Its ThinkPad X1 Fold, the world’s first foldable PC, promises to deliver a unique viewing experience with its flexible OLED display, and couples that with ThinkPad durability, long battery life and strong performance. 

In the meantime, we’ll be daydreaming about carrying around an OLED panel that bends to the shape of a notebook.
