In addition to foldable smartphones, the world already has a folding screen tablet - the ThinkPad X1 Fold (2022).
After nearly 2 years, the second generation of the ThinkPad X1 Fold has been upgraded almost completely. The folding screen tablet has been officially announced by Lenovo and will be sold in November this year.
The ThinkPad X1 Fold 2022 is considered a folding screen tablet.
The new ThinkPad X1 Fold 2022 will increase in size significantly, raising the screen size to 16 inches when unfolded. This makes the folding screen a better laptop replacement, and also supports tablet mode when folded.
The ThinkPad X1 Fold can be used with a keyboard and stylus.
Of course, like most foldable devices like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4, the ThinkPad X1 Fold is quite stiff when folded, but has reduced some details compared to the previous generation. Although the product still has very large bezels, it is narrower than the previous generation, and also has a larger screen-to-body ratio.
The ThinkPad X1 Fold will run Windows operating system, integrate Intel's 12th generation Core i5/i7 processor, up to 32GB RAM and up to 1TB SSD. The price of the standard version will be much lower than its predecessor - $2,499 (equivalent to VND 58.63 million). However, the laptop will not come with a keyboard and stylus.
The ThinkPad X1 Fold 2022 is quite expensive.
In fact, the ThinkPad X1 Fold folding screen tablet is not for everyone. However, with the more refined design of this product, the public can hope for the future of foldable devices beyond smartphones.
