Unveiled at MWC 2024, Lenovo’s ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2 aims to build upon the success of its predecessor with upgraded internals and AI features. The new iteration retains the familiar detachable design, allowing users to switch between laptop and tablet modes with ease.
Microsoft’s Copilot also has a dedicated AI key for easy access
The most significant upgrade lies in the processor. The Gen 2 ditches the previous generation Intel chips in favor of the latest Core Ultra processors, promising improved performance for demanding tasks. Additionally, Microsoft’s Copilot, an AI assistant, makes its way to the ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2 with a dedicated key for easy access. This integration aligns with Microsoft’s plans to include a Copilot button in future Windows laptops.
While the press release doesn’t reveal any significant design changes, the Gen 2 is expected to retain the comfortable backlit keyboard, split trackpad, and the red TrackPoint nub. These features, combined with the included magnetic stylus, aim to offer a versatile user experience for both typing and note-taking.
Interestingly, the inclusion of the dedicated Copilot button in the Gen 2 hints at a similar feature potentially coming to the next Surface Pro. This development could further blur the lines between the two devices, leaving aesthetics as the only potential differentiator for consumers.
The ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2 is expected to launch in April 2024, starting at $1,399. While the new features suggest a potential leap forward, it remains to be seen how the device performs against rivals like the Surface Pro in real-world scenarios. Lenovo also showcased the ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 at MWC 2024.
