A More Flexible PC

Half laptop, half tablet, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Foldable flips—er, folds—what you know about laptops on its head. With a 13.3-in. 2K OLED display that is touch-sensitive and folds in half, the ThinkPad X1 Foldable can be held flat like a tablet, creased like a book on your commute or held like a traditional laptop when you need to get work done. The touchscreen spans the entire surface, though users can pull up or retract a virtual keyboard for typing, and the ThinkPad X1 Foldable can sit in a stand or dock for use with a physical keyboard and mouse. When folded, the device is the size of a 9-in. folio—more portable than most small laptops. A foldable screen may seem futuristic, but it’s designed to be user-friendly while still functioning not like a tablet but like a full PC—Windows operating system and all. The ThinkPad X1 Foldable is set to be on the market in 2020. —Madeleine Carlisle
