The updated ThinkPad X1 Yoga is also available in new Silver colour, and offers true multi-mode capability and can deliver stunning colours and absolute blacks in its 14-inch notebook size with an OLED screen. If you’re not familiar with OLED, an OLED screen is one of those things you must see to believe, it’s higher resolution than 4K.
A redesigned rechargeable pen and improved ‘rise and fall” keyboard complete the improved experience.
Alongside the ThinkPad X1 Yoga, there is the ThinkPad X1 Tablet. The ThinkPad X1 Tablet has unique modules that offer port expansion and up to 5 hours of additional battery life, and an integrated projector option making it easier to go from creation to presentation. It also comes with new Intel Core processors for better performance and graphics than ever.
