Lenovo is giving the foldable PC a second shot. The upcoming Lenovo 16-inch ThinkPad X1 Fold announced today attempts to improve on 2020's ThinkPad X1 Fold, with a bigger screen, more powerful specs, and an operating system better suited for multitasking across the bendable OLED touchscreen.
I tried out the Windows 11 PC ahead of its expected November launch, and it has improved upon the weaknesses of the original 13.3-inch ThinkPad X1 Fold.
The new Fold folds up more securely than before, its OS is more accommodating to dual screens, and enhanced specs give it greater potential for business use. Lenovo may finally have the pieces needed for a desirable, natural-feeling foldable Windows experience.
