The concept design was introduced in May last year and the company announced at the CES Technology Exhibition in Las Vegas in January this year that consumers will be able to buy it by the middle of this year.
But the Corona virus epidemic has delayed its release and now the company says the ThinkPad X1 fold is available in pre-order.

The laptop has a 13.3-inch flexible OLED touch screen display that splits into two 9.6-inch screens when folded.
The laptop also comes with a stainless steel foil that protects the screen from scratches and has a special coating on top.
However, the screen is so soft that it folds and folds easily.
The Lotus Unfold format makes the X1 Fold look like a tablet on which movies can be watched and web browsing can be done.

On small folds it is possible to view different content on screens at the same time using split screen mode.
The company has provided a 5-megapixel IR camera on top of the display, while the Active Pan can be used to navigate or take notes in the laptop, along with Dolby stereo speakers.
When fully folded, the lower part can be used as a laptop keyboard while the upper part acts as a monitor, with a stand built-in inside the case on the back of the device.

The laptop also comes with a physical mini keyboard that can be tucked down to give the user a desktop experience and when unfolded, the keyboard can be placed in front of the display while using the mouse.
When folded like a book, there is enough space to insert a keyboard inside, which becomes a sandwich between the two displays, and can be charged in the same condition when not in use.
The laptop has 2 USB Type-C ports, while Dolby stereo speakers and a SIM card tray are also provided for LTE connectivity.
In areas where 5G coverage is available, the device will provide sub 6 GHz 5G speed support.

In addition, Intel UHD Generation 11 graphics card, 8 GB RAM and a TB super fast storage is provided.

The device is pre-ordered for 24 2,499 (over PKR 415,000).
