CES 2021: ThinkPad tablet and titanium-coated notebook arrive from Lenovo

In addition to the introduction of the ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga and ThinkPad X12 models, it was time to sew on other X1 models.

Lenovo has timed the arrival of a new generation of two ThinkPad X1 models for virtual CES, as the 14-inch X1 Yoga and X1 Carbon also received some wrinkles.

The biggest development is the installation of 11th generation Intel Core processors, but for machines that now have Intel Evo plecsni, it is worth highlighting the enlarged touchpad, Iris Xe IGP, and the built-in battery that can provide up to 15 hours of operation.

In addition to the two updated notebooks, we can also welcome a new top model in the ThinkPad X1 series with a 360-degree fold-back display, as it comes with a titanium-coated X1 Titanium Yoga. The machine has a 13.5 ”diagonal, 2256×1504 pixel resolution, Dolby Vision-certified, 3: 2 aspect ratio display, which is of course touch-sensitive, and can also be controlled with the optional Lenovo Precision Pen stylus in addition to our fingers.

The hardware, like the computers above, is based on the latest Intel processors, with a maximum of the 11th-generation Core i7 vPro, powered by Iris Xe IGP, up to 16GB of memory and a maximum of 1TB of NVMe SSD. The multimedia experience is completed by the Dolby Atmos sound system, which also includes up-facing speakers, and if you are not satisfied with the single built-in display, you can connect additional monitors with the two Thunderbolt 4 connectors.

In addition to entertainment, of course, Lenovo also went to safety, there was no dTPM chip, fingerprint reader, ThinkShield and IR camera, and wireless connections with built-in Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1, as well as an optional 5G modem helps. The keyboard was also backlit, and the TrackPad also had haptic feedback, all of which was solved without the machine weighing more than 1.18 kilograms with the 44.5-watt-hour battery.

ThinkPad Titanium X1 Yoga is nothing, but much more interesting among the machines just introduced is the ThinkPad X12, which has a fully removable backlit keyboard with a TrackPoint controller and touchpad, so the 840 – gram main unit can also be used as a tablet with a fold – out stand. The ThinkPad X12 is largely the same in terms of hardware specifications as the protagonist in the previous paragraphs, so we can work with a real small power plant even in the field, but in addition to the Wi-Fi 6 module, only a 4G modem can be requested instead of 5G.

The 12.3 ”screen with a resolution of 1920×1280 pixels and a brightness of up to 400 nits is protected by Gorilla Glass against unexpected impacts and stronger movements with the tip of the Lenovo Precision Pen. Being a tablet, in addition to the front panel IR camera, there is an extra 8 MP unit on the back of the device, and on the edges there is a Thunderbolt 4 and a USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C connector, as well as a combined jack I / O – however, to use the fingerprint reader, you definitely need to connect the keyboard.

The battery acts as a 42-watt-hour battery, which can ideally keep the tablet running for more than 10 hours, but unfortunately no extra battery has been added to the keyboard. Unfortunately, the information about the price and appearance of the novelties is not known.
