I also found the plastic coating on the screen more smudge and fingerprint resistant that on the ZenBook, at least based on my limited time with these samples. They feel premium to the touch, but they make the X1 Fold less grippy in the hands, especially corroborated with the slippery woven-nylon materials used for the back of the device, so be careful about dropping it.I nearly did at least once during my brief time with these samples.Īt the same time, smudges and dust wont gather as easily as on the ZenBook around these edges. On the Lenovo, the bezels are made out of metal, and not the rubbery material that Asus put on their Fold. There a couple of other differences and similarities between the two products.īoth and big-screen foldable designs, with some noticeable bezels around the screens. The device, kickstand and keyboard all attach together magnetically for traveling or commuting. No surpise, given the X1 Fold is an overall smaller 16-inch format. Everything combined weighs about 1.7 kilos, so still lighter than the ZenBook Fold. There’s also a standalone kickstand and the keyboard folio to add to the mix, though.

Furthermore, this kind of format requires serious pampering. It’s expensive, on one hand, it’s not really as powerful or as long-lasting as some might desire from a daily-use computer in 2022. Of course, this sort of device is not for everyone. It’s meant for daily use and light multitasking, and it will struggle with heavier demands if pushed to its limits.Īdd in a few extras such as good IO and connectivity (with Optional LTE), pen support with the included pen, a backlit ThinkPad keyboard folio, and some decent speakers, and you’re getting an interesting product here.

The hardware came some way since 2020 as well, although you should still have realistic expectations of what this sort of device can do. The 2022 X1 Fold is now a more capable and more practical computer with a 16.3-inch display when open up, and a 12-inch format when folded up in laptop mode, and makes good use of the OLED panel technology available today, with excellent image quality and colors. Lenovo spearheaded this segment a few years ago with their original X1 Fold, but this new generation is significantly improved, thanks to the advancements in technology that happened in the meantime.
