[CES 2023]The second-generation practical test ThinkPad X1 Fold Gen 2 folding machine looks more advanced and gorgeous

When it comes to folding machines, many people fancy cell phones, but large laptop-sized folding machines are already within reach. Lenovo launched the ThinkPad X1 Fold Gen 1 as early as 2020, and last year released the second generation ThinkPad X1 Fold Gen 2. This time at CES, I can finally try it!

▲ After opening the screen, the size is quite large

▲ The volume is about the same as a notebook when folded

ThinkPad X1 Fold Gen 2 is Lenovo’s second generation ThinkPad X1 Fold folding machine. It uses a 16.3″ foldable screen that can be used in landscape or portrait orientation. The screen itself already includes all computer hardware and batteries, etc., and can be used independently It is no different from ordinary tablets and it uses 12th generation Intel Core U series processors, which is not bad in terms of performance.

▲ Can be placed vertically with the rack

▲ The accessory set can be magnetically adsorbed on the body for easy portability

In addition to independent use of the ThinkPad X1 Fold Gen 2, users can also purchase an accessory kit, which includes a rack, keyboard and stylus. The rack can be placed on the body, and the keyboard can be connected for input of text. The rack, keyboard and stylus in the set all have magnetic functions, which can be magnetically attached to the body of the X1 Fold Gen 2 for easy portability. You can take it with you when you need a more comfortable experience.

▲ The zipper is made of metal material, which enhances the texture

▲ The frame is also a metal material and feels solid

It is worth mentioning that the screen of the new generation model adopts an improved hinge design, which can protect the screen better than before. The central hinge and the frame are made of metal materials, which makes the fuselage more solid. In terms of surface design, the new generation looks more luxurious than the first generation, while maintaining a solid style, feels very good in the hand, and the display quality of the OLED screen is still excellent. However, there is still no word on when it will be officially unveiled in Hong Kong, which is really exciting.
