When it comes to folding machines with flexible and flexible screens, I believe everyone will immediately think of smart phones, but in fact, in the field of laptop computers, flexible screens have also begun to receive attention. When we mentioned “big/small discount” before, everyone would only think of Korean S-brand mobile phones, but in fact Lenovo also launched “big discount” on laptops. The folding machine ThinkPad X1 Fold 16.3”, and the 13.3” X1 Fold, which was launched nearly two years ago, form a series of “large and thin folds”, giving users one more choice in laptop folding.
Continue to use the design of the first generation and increase the size of the screen
Rather than saying that the ThinkPad X1 Fold launched this time is a new generation of Lenovo folding machine, it is better to say that it is an “enlarged version” of the ThinkPad X1 Fold 13.3″ launched two years ago. The design of the two machines is actually similar, but the new screen has a screen It is enlarged to 16.3 inches, but the structure and method of folding the screen are exactly the same as the 13.3” X1 Fold, so compared to the previous X1 Fold, I will call the 16.3” X1 Fold launched this time a “big fold”. As for the thickness and weight, the X1 Fold 16.3” is only 8.6mm and 1.28kg respectively, and the portability is still quite high.
A variety of use modes are convenient to use as needed

It can be used as a general notebook computer, and the screen adopts a 4:3 aspect ratio, which is very suitable for business users to do paperwork in this mode. The back of the machine can also be equipped with a bracket, whether the user wants to place it horizontally to enjoy videos, or straight It is very convenient to browse files or do programming work; when you want to carry it out and you want to put it on your lap as a portable computer, you only need to fold the screen to a certain angle, and then put the Bluetooth ThinkPad keyboard on the other side of the screen. screen, it can be used as a 12-inch laptop. And when it is not used at all to be taken out of the street, the X1 Fold 16.3” itself, the Bluetooth ThinkPad keyboard and the stand can all be stacked together and taken out of the street. The size is like a thick notebook, whether it is in the hand It is very convenient to put in a handbag. All in all, although the X1 Fold 16.3” screen is much larger than the previous 13.3” screen, it still does not impair portability. At first glance, it can be said to be the strongest high-mobility laptop at present. .
