Lenovo ThinkPad X1 reviewed: a hybrid for the workaholics among us

Video shot/edited by Jennifer Hahn. (video link)

PC companies want to make products that combine the best of both worlds—and we’re talking about multiple dichotomies, too: thin but powerful, business-ready but play-capable, high-end but also (semi) affordable, tablet but also a laptop, and more. We’ve seen it recently with Microsoft’s Surface Book and Surface Pro line of hybrids, HP’s newest Spectre laptop, and many more. Lenovo’s designs (the Yoga line in particular) have always been good at marrying these elements to one another, and its ThinkPad X1 tablet is an attempt to deliver a Surface competitor for businesses.

The X1 takes the convenience of a tablet, incorporates a metal kickstand, and attaches a solid keyboard to the bottom so it can become a laptop at any time. So as not to overwhelm consumers with a ton of unnecessary features, Lenovo build three custom “modules” for the X1 which can turn it into a projector, a 3D scanner, and a longer-lasting, port-happy work device. Without any modules, the X1 starts off at a hefty $ 1,029. I recently lived with the mid-tier module ($ 1,349) for awhile and, although it’s a powerful and capable device, I’m not sure I’d want it to replace my regular laptop.
