Verdict

The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet 2nd Gen is a professional 12-inch 2-in-1 hybrid featuring a sharp 2K (2160 x 1440) IPS touchscreen protected by Gorilla Glass 4. This specific configuration is powered by a fanless 7th Gen Intel Core processor, 16GB of LPDDR3 RAM, and a 256GB NVMe SSD, all within a durable magnesium alloy chassis that meets MIL-STD-810G military certifications. Its standout characteristics include integrated 4G LTE-A cellular connectivity for on-the-go productivity, a modular design that supports external projector or productivity modules, and a highly-regarded detachable backlit keyboard with a TrackPoint. Main pros include its exceptionally lightweight 770g tablet body, stable kickstand, and a superior typing experience compared to competitors. However, notable cons include a relatively short base battery life of approximately 5–6 hours without add-on modules, thin-sounding speakers, and a glossy screen that is prone to glare in bright environments.
