80% Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 Review: Inching Closer Toward Broader Appeal
Source: CNet EN→zh-CN
Lenovo first had a foldable laptop with the original ThinkPad X1 Fold and its flexible 13-inch display that you could bend in half. Fast forward four years, and the concept of the foldable laptop has yet to catch on. Lenovo's second effort boasts a larger, 16.3-inch display and thinner design, but it's unlikely to start a foldable laptop trend. Even with its expanded display from the original model, the ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 feels too cramped in laptop mode when the display is folded and becomes just a 12-inch screen. The ThinkPad Fold X1 16's best use is as an undersized all-in-one computer you can fold up and take with you. The same can be said for the other two folding laptops we've reviewed with slightly larger, 17-inch displays: the HP Spectre Foldable PC and the Asus ZenBook 17 Fold OLED.

40% Lenovo X1 Fold 16 (2024) review: Half a job well done
Source: Expert Reviews EN→zh-CN
It all adds up to a pretty uninspiring overall picture for the Lenovo X1 Fold 16 (2024). Not only is this machine incredibly expensive, its performance is relatively slow, its battery life is underwhelming and its keyboard and stand are infuriatingly awkward to use. Don’t get me wrong; there are elements that I like about it, such as the build quality of the display unit, the textured finish on the outside and the fact that the folding screen shows barely any crease. However, those qualities don’t make up for this laptop’s many annoyances or the fact that you can buy something that’s faster, more practical and lighter for a lot less. If you want a laptop with extra screen real estate, consider the Asus Zenbook Duo (2024) with its twin 14in OLED displays or just buy a regular laptop with a 16in or 17in display like the LG Gram. Whatever you do, though, don’t go out and splash the better part of five grand on one of these.

70% Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 review: This versatile OLED foldable costs too much
Source: Tom's Guide EN→zh-CN
I like the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 16. It's hard not to since the OLED touchscreen dominates the device and makes everything look lovely, from games to movies to books. I also love the versatility of this device, a strength shared by many foldables. While it's a little scary to keep folding and unfolding that expensive, beautiful display, I've yet to damage it or wear it out over weeks of use. I can't say for sure yet how well the folding OLED screen stands up to long-term wear, but I can say that the seam of the fold isn't distracting and basically disappears once you start watching or reading something. But while this Lenovo makes the strongest argument yet as to why I should ditch my old clamshell and hop on the folding laptop bandwagon, I still can't wholeheartedly recommend it.

33% Review: Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold

The moment we saw the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold launched at IFA, we knew we had to test it. We’ve been waiting a long time for this to be possible. But to be honest, we expected the PC that finally showed up at the editorial office to be updated in line with hardware developments. This is not the case. The configuration of the X1 Fold on sale today is exactly the same as when it was unveiled in 2022! The result is a laptop that’s groundbreaking in design, but with the performance of a cheap school laptop. You can easily buy three great ultrabooks for the price of one X1 Fold. And each one will be twice as powerful! Of course, it has to cost something to be cutting edge, and a 16-inch foldable OLED display is certainly expensive to manufacture. But the price in this case is so extreme that unless you have a very specific reason for wanting this particular model, and money means nothing to you, it’s not possible to find any reason to recommend this computer.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 is a bit of a mixed bag, offering both highs and lows for the nascent foldable category. The build quality is superb, but the performance falls slightly flat. It's a shame that this stellar design is hampered by performance issues (most of them due to the older Intel silicon and the necessary limitations of having the whole computing apparatus behind a tablet-thickness screen), but its quality is undeniably top-notch. We use the term "proof of concept" a lot when discussing these pioneering folding-screen laptops, but the X1 Fold does the job better than any I've seen. As a physical device, it proves to me that foldables can work, though there's still plenty of room to grow and refine. If you want an all-screen system, the Editors' Choice-award-winning Asus Zenbook Duo does it better with a twin-screen design, great test scores, and a low price. But if you want to know what the foldable future looks and feels like, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 is it.

100% Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 review: The best foldable PC you can buy
Source: It Pro EN→zh-CN
As a foldable PC, regardless of our feelings toward their place in the business world, the ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 is an amazing device. It's snappy, it's innovative, it's versatile, and we just love that crisp screen. If we ran a business and had all the money in the world to play with, we might well consider it. Unfortunately, the price is the clear stumbling block with the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 16. While businesses might be eligible for a discount if brought in bulk, it would have to be a massive reduction to make the $2,500 starting price more palatable.

70% Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 review: setting the bar for foldables
Source: The Verge EN→zh-CN
Even with the stylus covering one of the three vents in laptop mode (there’s only one spot where it can magnetically attach, and that’s it), the Fold never got hotter than a lukewarm bath. The CPU’s power draw is capped at 26W, even though it’s designed to draw up to 29W. The chassis never went above 31 degrees Celsius, either, so I could comfortably leave it flat on my lap for an hour while Bob Ross helped me brush up on my digital painting skills. Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 Gen 1 has set the bar as the foldable laptop to beat, even if the keyboard and folio are critical add-ons to an already not-cheap laptop. The only other folding screen laptops that could provide a comparable experience are the HP Spectre Fold and LG Gram Fold, but the latter is only available in South Korea, and we have not tested the former — not to mention that the Spectre Fold is twice the price of the ThinkPad Fold.

89% ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 review: A great 2nd effort with some work yet to be done
Source: Techaeris EN→zh-CN
The bottom line on the ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 is this. There are a ton of really great improvements to this new attempt at a folding PC from Lenovo. I give them a lot of credit for addressing many of the previous issues and improving things. I am not convinced that we’re at a consumer level place for folding PCs yet. So it makes sense that they’re starting with their business line of laptops for this run of folding displays. I would recommend the ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 for the business person who is an early adopter and is OK with some of the sacrifices that have to be made here. This certainly is not a device for gamers, heavy content creators, or mom-and-pop consumers. But it is still fascinating and fun and exciting. I am eagerly awaiting to see where the tech goes from here.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold may be the brand’s best foldable PC to date, but it has a long way to go in order to meet the quality of its rivals. The lack of built-in stand is a major oversight, and the flimsy stand accessory is a poor substitute. Even worse, Lenovo has done very little to improve the software, making the foldable design feel awkward on Windows 11. The 16.3-inch is perfectly big enough for use as a tablet, but feels way too cramped in laptop mode, limiting the appeal of its supposed versatility. Battery life is poor too. I can sympathise with Lenovo to some extent since the foldable PC form factor that’s still in its infancy, but both the Asus Zenbook Fold 17 and HP Spectre Fold have managed to solve many of these issues already.

70% Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 Gen 1 review: the best foldable laptop is still searching for its purpose
Source: Techradar EN→zh-CN
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 Gen 1 is a remarkable device in a lot of ways, offering fresh innovation and greatly improved performance over the previous model, but the question of who this laptop is meant to serve remains an open one, and for the price, this remains an expensive showpiece more than anything.

53% Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 review: Goes big, falls short
Source: PC World EN→zh-CN
The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 Gen 1 is an ambitious but flawed attempt to bring a larger folder screen to a PC. It seems like a good idea on paper: the older ThinkPad X1 Fold 13 always felt too small, so a bigger screen seems to make sense. In practice, however, the X1 Fold 16 is too bulky for use as a tablet, yet still too small and awkward to use as a laptop. It’s best when the 16-inch screen is used with the keyboard kickstand, but even this is far from perfect, as issues like the small touchpad and highly reflective screen remain a problem. And, because the X1 Fold 16 is an innovative and unusual device, Lenovo asks a tidy sum for it, making it even more difficult to recommend. I can see a future for folding screens in PC laptops, but the X1 Fold 16 isn’t going to take them mainstream yet.

80% Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 Gen 1 review: A winning foldable, but at what cost?
Source: Laptop Mag EN→zh-CN
The world of foldable laptops gets larger every day. Often pitched as the devices for early adopters, these multi-purpose machines often fail to find a good niche. The dual-display Yoga Book 9i and the Zenbook 17 Fold have both made it onto our Best 2-in-1 and Best 17-inch laptop pages but they haven’t made it to the top of either category, and only the Zenbook is a proper foldable laptop. As a business machine, the ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 is perhaps positioned better than its competitors because its flexibility matches the current hybrid work environment better than a standard laptop might. And yet, it still comes with outdated hardware and insufficient battery life, which make it difficult to recommend even as a work machine. That said, it is cheaper than the HP Spectre Fold’s ridiculous $5,000 price tag.

Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Fold is the most bizarre, fun, and expensive laptop I've ever tested
Source: Zdnet.com EN→zh-CN
In the end, the X1 Fold is a laptop you should buy if you really want a ThinkPad with a folding screen. It's an incredibly cool piece of technology, one that's sure to grab the attention of everyone around you. But in day-to-day use, it's not very practical given the performance and battery life limitations. For anyone who wants something similar with better performance and battery life will want to look at the Yoga Book 9i, which is the closest thing to a folding laptop that's somewhat practical on the market today. I'm not going to lie, I'll miss the X1 Fold when I send my review unit back. Having such a big, folding screen is incredibly fun.

The X1 Fold 16 runs Windows 11 on Intel processors, has up to 32GB RAM and a 1TB SSD. The detachable keyboard can connect via Bluetooth or USB-C and it’s compatible with the Lenovo Precision Pen 1 and 2. It has a 5MP Windows Hello camera, fingerprint scanner on the keyboard and 2 battery options. It competes with the Asus Zenbook Fold and HP Spectre Foldable PC. Pricing starts at $2,500, making it currently the most affordable folding screen Windows PC.

60% Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold (16-inch) review: a foldable flop
Source: Digital Trends EN→zh-CN
As I used the ThinkPad X1 Fold, I was constantly disappointed in one aspect or another. The stand wasn’t reliable, which is a very bad thing when it’s meant to prop up a tablet that starts at $2,499. Lenovo’s Yoga Book 9i has a much more complicated origami stand that holds that dual-display 3-in-1 firmly in place. So, Lenovo knows how to get it right and just didn’t. I also found the clamshell mode too small and, without its keyboard, too hard to use. Performance was better than the other two foldable PCs we’ve used, but battery life was worse. The Asus Zenbook Fold 17 is less expensive with a reasonable configuration. The ThinkPad X1 Foldable isn’t the best option among today’s leading foldable PCs.

80% Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 Review: Top-Tier Foldable Computer Tech
Source: Slashgear EN→zh-CN
While the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold is an innovative piece of foldable technology, it's not going to be the perfect computer for everyone. If you find yourself torn between getting a tablet or a laptop, the X1 Fold is the perfect solution. It has a beautiful, large 16.3-inch OLED display to work on, internal specs that can handle simple work tasks, and multiple configurations to switch between, making it easy to work while traveling, whether you're in the car, on an airplane, or in a hotel room with a desk. When you pair the TrackPoint keyboard and Lenovo's Precision Pen with the X1 Fold, it truly creates a computer setup that's both portable and easy to use. That said, the ThinkPad X1 Fold is expensive at around $3,300, and it's not powerful enough to run graphically demanding games or other spec-hungry programs.
