An In Depth Look at the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold

 

Winner of 43 CES prizes, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold proves to the world that the future of laptops lies in technology designed by industry experts. Use it confidently and carry it around in innovative ways never seen before enjoying a split screen experience or a single large display, augmented with touch-sensitive pen, keyboard, and fingers. Powered by Windows 10 Pro and Intel Core i7 processors with Intel Hybrid Technology, the X1 Fold gives what your busy day requires. You'll appreciate its durability and versatility.

At first glance, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold appears to be an ordinary rectangular tablet. However, a closer inspection will reveal that the device has two separate panels that unfold to become a full-fledged tablet that can be used like a laptop, notebook, desktop replacement, or as a tablet and pen combination. The second panel, the cover, flips in and out to allow access to all the ports and functions of the ThinkPad.

There are several unique attributes of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold. It has a unique retractable keyboard deck that allows for a full-scale desktop replacement. This means that the entire device can be used for web browsing, office applications, entertainment, and web surfing. Plus, it is lightweight and portable enough to be carried from one place to another. Plus, you can use the tablet as a powerful web browser as well.

A key advantage of the Tablet mode is that it enables the display to be optimized for the keyboard. If you use the laptop keyboard instead of a touchpad or trackball, you can access the screen without any issues. You can also use the laptop keyboard while the screen is in its standard tablet mode. The advantage of this is that the screen is fully functional. In laptop mode, using the touchpad to scroll up and down the screen is problematic because the smoothness of the touchpad is inconsistent.

When the screen is in laptop mode, pressing the Esc button will switch to the touch-scrolling function. The advantage of this is that there are no buttons that are accidentally pressed by your fingers when typing text on the virtual keyboard. Using the Tablet mode makes typing on the virtual keyboard much easier because there are no separate buttons that are hotkeys.

As a laptop replacement, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold comes with an extremely well-made keyboard with large buttons, an arrow cluster, and a question mark for Caps lock. The buttons are located in the middle of the back of the keyboard. In addition, you can program five different profiles for use when the computer is not connected to a USB port. Each of the five profiles has its own function that makes controlling the computer much easier.

Unlike other tablet computers that include a physical keyboard with discrete buttons and a touchpad, this laptop offers a much larger keyboard that can be used as a stylus. The larger size of the keyboard allows you to tap on the actual keys without fully pressing them. With its integrated optical scanner, it is possible to scan documents such as photos and document formats.

One of the best things about the laptop is that the on-screen keyboard is available as either a stick type or a click type. The stick type of input device is quite comfortable to use and it is quite accurate when entering numbers and symbols. On the other hand, the click type of input device provides a comfortable and efficient way to enter text or browse through documents and other items. The touchpad is located in the lower left corner and can also be used as a stylus.
