Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 review: setting the bar for foldables

It’s a gorgeous piece of tech, but you won’t get the full experience without paying extra for the keyboard and folio.

Even if I did find one (I’m convinced they don’t exist) and it precisely covered the Fold’s bottom half, it probably wouldn’t tell the device to switch into laptop mode when attached. Folding 16.3-inch, (2560 x 2024) HDR 60Hz OLED, 446 nits (SDR, as tested), 96 percent DCI-P3 (as tested); 12.0-inch (2024 x 1240) 60Hz, same brightness and color measurements Intel Core i5-1230U, 10-cores (two performance, eight efficient) 12-threads, 4.40GHz (P-core) / 3.30GHz (E-core) max clock Intel Iris Xe (integrated), 80 EUs 16GB LPDDR5 5200MHz (soldered) 512GB M.2 2242 PCIe 4.0 5MP RGB + infrared (IR), Windows Hello support Wi-Fi 6E + BT 5.1 2 x USB-C Thunderbolt 4 (40Gbps), USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) 2.82lbs (4.27lbs with keyboard + folio) 0.68 x 6.9 x 10.87 inches (folded), 0.34 x 10.8 x 13.61 inches (unfolded) 2 x 64Whr, 65W adapter Lenovo Precision Pen$2,648.00, as configured ($2,948 with Bluetooth keyboard + folio) To be fair to Lenovo, oil painting with any stylus feels totally different compared to the real thing, for obvious reasons, but once I figured out how to tweak the Fresco settings to get as close to Ross’ tried-and-true flat brushes as possible, I felt mostly good about my happy digital clouds.
