Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold Now Available, Announces EPOS Partnership With New Headsets
Leading PC maker Lenovo is announcing its foldable laptop, the ThinkPad X1 Fold, is now available globally. This laptop was first announced back in September 2022 (more than a year ago) and has undergone “significant real-world user testing through a comprehensive system verification process,” according to the press release.
The specs consist of a 16.3-inch foldable OLED panel with a resolution of 2560 x 2024 – essentially an extended QHD resolution – and offer up to 32GB LPDDR5 RAM and 1TB SSD storage. However, the CPU is a slightly older 12th Gen vPro model which wasn’t specified at this writing. In terms of connectivity features, it includes Wi-Fi 6E and optional 5G SIM support. It’ll cost $2,499 USD, though no local pricing has been announced just yet (Lenovo’s Malaysian website only says “Coming in 2023”).
Meanwhile, Lenovo has also teamed up with EPOS with a new strategic agreement to produce audio hardware. This results in two co-branded headsets, the Lenovo Wired VOIP Headset and Wired ANC Headset Gen 2, each costing $54.99 and $129.99 respectively. Both models share the same design, with an inline audio control and a USB-C connector (USB-A adapter included). A travel pouch will also be included with the purchase of these headsets.
Pokdepinion: Personally I haven’t tried foldable laptops just yet – would be interesting to see how it works in practice.
