The 13.3-inch flexible OLED display features a 2048 x 1536 resolution, 300 nit brightness, and can display 95% of the P3 color gamut. You can use it as a 13.3-inch tablet with it open, or use each 9.6-inch half of the display separately.
The ACPC features 5G connectivity, as well as Wi-Fi 6, and offers two USB Type-C ports, one at Gen 1 speeds and the other at Gen 2. The foldable PC offers USB-C docking, and of course supports an active pen.
The final dimensions are 299.4 x 236 x 11.5 mm open, and 158.2 x 236 x 27.8 mm when closed.
If you want to be one of the first to own a foldable PC, it is perhaps unsurprising that the X1 Fold is going to cost. A lot. The new X1 Fold starts at $2499 USD with preorders starting today at Lenovo.com.

To fold this tablet, you must first unfold your wallet. Replywr3zzz - Tuesday, September 29, 2020 - link
It's 2.2lb. How is this superior to a 13" 2-in-1 or detachable? Replybinary visions - Tuesday, September 29, 2020 - link
It folds up to 6"x9". That's the superior piece. You could argue whether that's relevant or useful or not, but there's no question about what the selling point is - you get a 13" laptop screen that folds up to half a laptop size. Replywr3zzz - Tuesday, September 29, 2020 - link
One can argue whether 6x9 is superior or not, personally I think it's still briefcase dimension which makes the comparison with flat 13" device pointless. But even if one agrees that 6x9 is personal device size as Sony tried to make that case years ago, 2.2lb is clearly not pocket carrying weight. Replywr3zzz - Tuesday, September 29, 2020 - link
The form fact says it's a reboot of the Sony Vaio P concept. However, even though Sony marketed the Vaio P as a personal device the ad where a Vaio P sticking up the back pocket of a jean was widely ridiculed. Most of the buyers of Vaio P used it as a predecessor to today's ultrabook, and it was only 1.2lb. Again the X1 Fold is 2.2lb! Replyedzieba - Tuesday, September 29, 2020 - link
I really like the Psion / Vaio P form-factor, but I don't £2500 like it. Replycfenton - Friday, October 2, 2020 - link
Is that a physical keyboard that you overlay on the screen, or a very deceptively rendered on-screen keyboard? Replyyriccoh - Sunday, October 4, 2020 - link
a detachable keyboard sandwich. Replyeshafatima - Thursday, October 29, 2020 - link
