Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold (Overview):
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold, a Lenovo ThinkPad Laptop is surprisingly the first ever foldable laptop/notebook. It is totally different from the similar technology in the smartphone market, which was only an expensive gimmick. However, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold is a rather useful machine. It comes with a 16.3-inch OLED screen which is just 12-inch when folded. The major outbreak is the availability of ThinkPad's own keyboard with a red notch and decent size touchpad which works both attached or with the larger screen.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold has a trick up its sleeve that neither the Surface Pro 7 nor any other large tablet can match. The screen bends in the middle, turning the device into something resembling a hardcover book and rendering it immensely more flexible. With the screen folded, you could use the X1 Fold to catch up on the morning news in your magazine app or use it as an e-book reader. You can also bend the two halves slightly together and set one of them on an airplane tray table or other tight space to use the X1 Fold as a mini conventional clamshell laptop. Set up like this, the bottom half of the display can show the virtual touch keyboard built into Windows, while the upper half that’s tilted toward you displays content.
Voila: You’re now using a 12-inch laptop.
