LG ThinkPad X1 Fold seizes your attention with its dazzlingly bright and vivid 16.3-inch foldable display.

It's one of a handful of "foldable PCs" on the market that aims to give creatives and digital artists plenty of display real estate and versatility.

But this might not be enough to compensate for sluggish performance and underwhelming battery life.

Detachable Bluetooth keyboard that comes with the LG ThinkPad X1 Fold feels smaller than it is, largely because the display is so large to begin with.

The touchpad is too small to use comfortably — but you would expect as much from a detachable keyboard.

While it's an excellent choice for working with images at a high level, its underpowered components coupled with the lack of cooling means it's susceptible to throttling and won't perform as well as a high-end laptop might.

LG ThinkPad X1 Fold Gen 2 has a stunning and expansive display that you can fold up and take with you wherever you go.

It will elevate your creative productivity, but it suits a very specific set of needs that might be beyond most people’s requirements.

Some market rivals trump the Lenovo in the value-for-money stakes.
