Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold: first impressions

Foldable phones and tablets have been all the rage the past couple of years, and for good reason. The technology promises to shake up the form factors of an entire class of devices that have been locked into the variable-sized ingot and slate designs since the launch of the iPhone in 2007 and iPad in 2010

We’re entering a new era though thanks to the new Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold – the world’s first foldable Windows 10 laptop computer – and if the X1 is any indication, it will probably be a very glorious one for mobile computing enthusiasts.

We’re in the process of doing a formal X1 Fold review, so we have to put it through the same paces that we put all of the laptops through when we review them, but our early impressions of the X1 Fold are such that it really does justify coming out a little bit early and giving our initial thoughts of the device.

Definitely check back in with us soon to get a more in depth discussion of the X1 Fold, but so far, we have to say that the X1 Fold definitely feels like we’re holding a piece of the future in our hands.
