Open up a dictionary at Lenovo HQ and it

won’t include the word ‘laptop’. How do we

know? Because Lenovo reckons this is the

world’s first folding PC. Now, we’ve seen a

lot of hinged computers in our time... but to

be fair, not many of them have looked quite

like the ThinkPad X1 Fold.

Its 13.3in OLED screen bends in the middle,

so you can use it like a tablet, read it like

a book, or prop it up on itself and summon

a virtual QWERTY to type on it like a

traditional... er, folding PC. Both sides of

the crease can be treated like separate

screens, so if you’d rather connect the

Bluetooth Mini Fold Keyboard for typing

(it tucks away inside to charge wirelessly),

you can use the bottom one for web

browsing, video calling or anything else

that won’t fit up top.

When folded up, the smart leather coating

makes it look more like a sci-fi notebook

than a tablet, but with Windows 10 to run

the show and battery life of up to 11 hours,

it’s a genuine hybrid that’ll only take up as

much space on your desk as a hardback

book. Say, a dictionary.
