Lenovo Goes Thin With ThinkPad X1 Titanium, Adds X12 Detachable

In the virtual the CES in 2021 Lenovo has announced a assortment of high-end ThinkPad X1 notebooks. The most notable of them are The ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, the most thin ThinkPad with just 0.4 inches, and obviously, a titanium-coated. It's expected to be available later from the beginning of this month, priced at $1,899. A brand new X-series device, called the ThinkPad X12 Detachable, will cost with a price of $1,149. These new devices will be powered by Intel's 11th Gen processors with vPro and are Intel Evo certified.

The X1 Titanium has a 13.5-inch 3:2 display (the author of this article believes that more laptops with productivity capabilities should adopt the aspect ratio) however, its slimness limits its ports. There are two Thunderbolt four ports along with a lock slot as well as an audio connector. It comes with full Dolby support, which includes Dolby Vision HDR as well as Dolby Atmos sound speakers. Lenovo's ThinkPad X12 detached model looks somewhat like the Microsoft Surface Pro, though the keyboard is completely ThinkPad including its TrackPoint Nub as well as the backlighting. Contrary to its predecessor X1 Titanium, it uses a magnesium chassis. The touchscreen is compatible with stylus input using the optional Lenovo Precision Pen or Lenovo Digital Pen however the bezels surrounding the display appear to be on the thicker side when compared to photographs. You do get an IR camera with Windows Hello.

They both X1 Carbon, which is one of the top Ultrabooks as well as the X1 Yoga are getting 16:10 displays that have low blue light capabilities as well as a fingerprint reader at the power button along with the 11th generation vPro processors. Both will also have the ability to support Dolby Voice, which will provide better audio when making video or voice calls. For the X1 Carbon, X1 Carbon will start at $1,499, while the X1 Yoga will start at $1,569; both devices will go on sale in February.

The whole X1 series will include "Human presence detection" to detect that you're at the computer, and then allow you to let you in with Windows Hello, as well as a lock when you step away. For IT administrators who are using their devices on the market, a brand new edition of Lenovo Commercial Vantage is included.The ThinkPad X13 is smaller than you'd expect, but with no sacrifice in performance. It is a portable ultraportables, especially for use in business however, you require more than just size in order to rank in the top ultrabooks. It's Lenovo's answer for smaller ThinkPad which still displays the company's efficiency.

It's one of the few ThinkPads with AMD Ryzen processor options. In recent times, Ryzen laptops have proven to be affordable choices for their productivity and staying competitive in the gaming arena. Particularly The ThinkPad X13 has options for AMD's Ryzen 4000 Pro series CPUs.

We were ecstatic to find that even with Ryzen 5 Pro 4650U the X13 that we tested did not add up. In line the ThinkPads image of efficiency and efficiency, the AMD variant that comes with the ThinkPad X13 is all business and without a lot of frill. With the exception of the ThinkPad logo, which is diagonally placed across the lid's upper-left corner The exterior is matte black without any embellishment. Vents and ports line the laptop's bottom as well as its right side, however, the laptop's exterior is a single image when you first look at it.

The moment you open it up, you'll see the interior to be more interesting, that is a mix of function and form. The ThinkPad's distinctive red Trackpoint nub is still in the top of the X13's keyboard while a scanner for your fingerprint is beneath to to the right side of the keyboard. The hinges on the lid's silver can be bent so that the screen is flat on top of the keyboard.

With the 13.3 inch screen the X13 definitely belongs in the ultraportable category but it's somewhat larger than comparable equipped rivals. With 12.3 inches x 8.6 and 0.7 inches it's not huge however, it's quite heavy and quite wide for the class. It's probably in line with the current ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 8 (12.7 x 8.5 and 0.6 inches) However, the other products are smaller. A 13-in 2020 Macbook Pro, for instance measures 12 8.4 x 8.4 inches x 0.6 inches and it's Dell XPS 13 9300 is 11.6 7.8 x 7.8 and 0.6 inches.

The X13 is quite heavy of the laptops we tried however, not too much. Its 2.8 pounds of weight is comparable with that of the XPS 13 9300's, and lower than that of the MacBook Pro's 3.1 pounds of weight. This X1 Carbon also weighs half a pound lighter , at 2.4 pounds.And even with this price cut and a few compromises to the display and size the X1 Carbon does an excellent job in bringing power to the smallest size.

The majority of the ports on the X13 are located on the left of the laptop instead of being all over the sides. It does mean that the left side is home to an extensive selection of ports that include the two Thunderbolt 3 ports, a USB Type A port, an HDMI 2.0 port, and the 3.5mm headset/microphone combo connector. One of the Thunderbolt 3 ports can also be used in conjunction with an unutilized port next to it, to allow the Lenovo dock.

This ThinkPad X13 we tested sets it apart by using AMD's Ryzen 5 Pro 4650U CPU instead of the Intel chips in other ThinkPads, such as those in the X1 Carbon Gen 8 (Intel Core i5-10310U) or rival computers such as those of Macbook Pro (Intel Core i5-1038NG7) and the Dell XPS 13 9300 (Intel Core i6-1065G7). Its Ryzen Pro processor made a compelling case to choose this laptop. AMD version of the laptop.

The X13 also put up a solid performance on the Handbrake testing of video editing that measures the time it takes a computer convert a video from 4K (3840 2160 x 3840) into FHD (1920 1080 pixels). The AMD-powered X13 accomplished the task in only 10:48. This was around two minutes faster than the next competitor with the fastest speed. It was the Macbook Pro, which took 12:43 to convert the video. It took 12:43 for the XPS 13 finished transc

Lenovo's laptop was close to the average in our benchmark for file transfer which measures the time it takes for computers to move 4.97GB of data. The laptop transferred files at 745 MBps. This is quicker that the XPS 13's 621 MBps , but lower than the speed of the X1 Carbon's 7,83 MBps. The three machines were all less efficient than Macbook Pro, which transferred the files at an impressive 1,272 MBps.

To stress test the X13 test, we tried it on Cinebench 20 in the 20th time in a loop. The AMD-powered ThinkPad achieved an average score of 2,074.76 in this test and the CPU clock speed averaging 2.4 GHz and its temperature at an average of 70 ° Celsius (158 degree Fahrenheit).

The ThinkPad X13 also comes with integrated Radeon graphics as well as 8GB of RAM that's the same as it is the X1 Carbon, but not nearly as large than the 16GB on the XPS 13 and the Macbook Pro. To test the capabilities of these models We also put our test machines through the Civilization VI graphics benchmark (1080p at moderate settings). At 29 fps on average during the test the X13 was the closest to playing speeds (30 FPS) however it did not quite get there. Its XPS 13 (Intel Iris Plus graphics) only had 19 fps as opposed to it was the Macbook Pro (Intel Iris Plus graphics) was close behind with an average of 18 fps. In comparison, the X1 Carbon (Intel UHD graphics) only managed 8 frames.

The ThinkPad X13 we tested has an 13.3 inches FHD IPS display that even though it has broad viewing angles, can't meet the standards of precision in color and brightness the IPS screen is known for.

For a test of the display I observed it on the Bill & Ted Face the Music trailer in low and normal light conditions. Whatever light was shining onto the screen views were completely. I didn't even notice any reflections, even when holding the screen close my light source.

The quality of the lighting and color didn't really make the same impression. Overall the colors were precise but they weren't vibrant and didn't popout, even in the portions of the movie which occur in fantastical settings such as Hell. The biggest issue, however was the brightness because the entire trailer seemed extremely dark.

Our tests confirmed my initial impressions, since the X13 is a bit sluggish in the brightness and color, in comparison to other models.

Our tests showed it was the ThinkPad X13 only recreates 72.3 percent of the DCI P3 spectrum of colors, in contrast to 80.9 percent for the Macbook Pro and the 81.3 percent for the XPS 13. The ThinkPad X1 Carbon had a smaller range of colors, covering 71.5 percent of the DCI-P3 spectrum of colors.
