belated. Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold Gen 2 - a laptop with a flexible screen, now big
If a tablet-smartphone is a hybrid of a smartphone and a tablet, then Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold Gen 2 can probably be called a tabletbook. Hybrid tablet and laptop. Solid in its power device with a flexible screen. For filling - classic wintel - hardware from Intel and Windows as an operating system.
The first Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold was announced in the infinitely distant 2020. And it had a screen with a diagonal of 13.3 "(548 cm²). The size of the newcomer grew to 16.3" (834 cm²). As you can easily calculate, the screen area has increased by a little more than one and a half times.
The idea remains the same. Four main work scenarios:
- We work on a large flat screen like on a tablet.
- We connect the keyboard and get a laptop with a huge screen.
- Bend the screen, put the physical keyboard on the bottom half. We get a classic laptop with a small screen (about 12 ").
- Bending the screen, drawing on the bottom half of the touch keyboard. We get a strange laptop with the same small screen.
However, there are more original versions of the work on the advertising pictures. Although for me personally their convenience toseems a bit controversial. Although, of course, if you don't try, you won't know. And a lot depends on the convenience of the software.
About the characteristics.
OLED screen, resolution 2560x2024 (200 ppi). High brightness, HDR support.

Dual front camera (regular 5MP camera plus speciallysed infrared module for identification).
One Type-C 3.2 Gen 2 plus two Thunderbolt 4. There is support for 5G networks (most likely optional). Wi-Fi latest version - 6E. Four microphones, three speakers.
Weight - a little less than 1.3 kg. Folded size - 276.2 x 176.2 x 17.4 mm. For comparison, a standard A4 sheet is 297 x 210 mm. Those. Lenovo when folded is noticeably smaller, it will really be easy and pleasant to carry it with you.
Expensive. From $2499 (₽151000) at the start of sales. And this is for it is not clear for what kind of iron, I remind you. Plus, buy a keyboard separately.have to.
