The release of the ThinkPad X1 Fold has been a rather protracted one, with Lenovo having teased its first foldable laptop back in May 2019. Subsequently, Lenovo said that the ThinkPad X1 Fold would be ready in "mid-2020", but that did not transpire.

Lenovo has also now published a 3D animation of the device, showing it from various angles and in multiple orientations.
Additionally, the company has offered an insight into the construction of the ThinkPad X1 Fold, which we have included above. Apparently, its frame and back cover "stands up to the rigours of life", while simultaneously looking attractive too. The photo also shows the construction of the device's motherboard, among other components.
