Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold Gen 2 laptop review

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold is extremely versatile and offers a dazzlingly bright display that can be packed into a compact package.

But the 16.3-inch foldable doesn't offer much firepower beneath the bonnet.

Its Intel Core i7-1250U mobile CPU was deemed high-end a few generations ago, and you only get 16 GB RAM as well as a 512 GB SSD.

It's perhaps best as a portable monitor to view content, but there are shortcomings compared with more conventional 2 -in-1s.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold Gen 2 has a 16.3-inch OLED display that is bright and vibrant.

Bright, vivid and vibrant, but lack of 4 K is disappointing.

It has a 1.26:1 orientation that takes some getting used to.

It's not going to perform as well as the latest high-end models.

We would have also loved a 4 K display especially given the asking price.
