Lenovo has provided a sneak peek of its upcoming ThinkPad X1 Fold Gen 2 laptop. The device comes with several improvements from the ThinkPad X1 Fold that was launched in 2020 as the “world’s first foldable notebook. An improved design was visible in the latest images of the laptop. It has a detachable keyboard and promises to deliver a better performance than its predecessor

The ThinkPad X1 Fold Gen 2 was teased in a 44-second video that revealed some changes from the first-generation model. While the ThinkPad X1 Fold was powered by Intel’s Lakefield processor which was ill-fated due to several performance issues, the second-generation model will retain an Intel processor with excellent performance. This will also mean a more optimized battery performance for the new laptop. The Intel processors of the new Lenovo foldable laptop will have both vPro and Evo certifications.

The detachable keyboard of the new laptop will contain the TrackPoint pointing stick. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold Gen 2 comes with slimmer bezels and a sleek design overall. The short video reveals the hinge design of the laptop is similar to that of the Razr 2022 with a few differences.

The latest teaser of the upcoming Lenovo foldable laptop and its detachable keyboard has raised expectations for the device. Lenovo is mum on a release date, and neither has any pricing information been revealed. We could expect more teasers and leaks if indeed the device is set for release.
