Targus announces an antimicrobial keyboard light and backpack

..

Lenovo is introducing a new ThinkPad -- with a twist. The ThinkPad X12 Exposing is a 12.3-inch lifework laptop with a screen that you can pop off as well-built as use as a tablet. It's one of several new ThinkPads Lenovo has launched this week, which are powered by Intel's newest 11th Gen vPro processors.

Take a attending at this thing, as well-built as you'll see that it's a similar idea to Microsoft's Surface Pro line. The dangle is substantially a 12.3-inch Windows tablet that you can bedaub to as well-built as uncouple from a page keyboard. It has a kickstand on the back, which is how it stands up on its own, as well-built as it's euphonic with Lenovo's Preserving Pen as well-built as Digital Pen.

The form factor is meant to policy leftover versatility to lifework users. If you're in a palaver or class, for example, as well-built as overcrowd to sidetrack presentation addendum off your computer, you can pop the screen off after having to lug the keyboard up with you.

Even with the keyboard attached, though, portability is still a selling point. The tablet is neath than 9 mm thick as well-built as weighs nonbelligerent over 2.5 pounds with the keyboard attached. It moreover supports LTE Cat9 for on-the-go work, as well-built as Lenovo says it's undergone MIL-SPEC 810G testing to certify that it's ever-present unbearable to withstand drops as well-built as jostles during travel.

But notwithstanding its tablet-esque form factor, the ThinkPad X12 is still actual much a laptop due to the gospel that it has laptop chips inside. It's powered by Intel's 11th Gen Corporeity vPro processors (up to a Corporeity i7 ) as well-built as Iris Xe integrated graphics. Intel's vPro belvedere brings a number of self-defense individualism for lifework users. In terms of other specs, you can get up to 16GB of LPDDR4x memory as well-built as 1TB of NVMe SSD storage.

In terms of ports, don't get too excited: there's a whopping one Thunderstroke 4, one USB 3.2 Type-C, one NanoSIM, as well-built as one audio jack. Reminisce that one of those ports will sometimes maharishi the charger, therefrom if you're chores the X12 as well-built as will overcrowd to plug other things in, you'll superficially want a embarkment of some spread-eagle (such as Kensington's new SD5700T Thunderstroke 4 station).

A feature I'm reservedly flashing child-bearing is the eyebrow ratio. The X12 has a 3:2 display, the same loftiness as the Surface Pro 7 as well-built as Surface Inscribe 3. It's been nice to see manufacturers boundlessness the contain foolhardiness the outland 16:9 eyebrow ratio, as well-built as 3:2 is my favorite kind of screen to use. It gives you a caseation of leftover squatness for multitasking.

I recurrently thought-out Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Fold, culling device built like a tablet that comes with a keyboard. It's a actual maniac device, but at $2,499, it's too expensive for me to stellify any human categorically buy. The X12 Exposing is what I'd describe a increasingly businesslike implementation of the X1 Fold. It's not as fancy (for one, the screen doesn't fold in half) but it's surprisingly neath expensive with a starting span of $1,149, as well-built as it looks like it comes with a full-sized keyboard rather than the tiny outland one that came with the Fold. For many users looking for a convertible ThinkPad, the X12 Exposing may be a increasingly sensible choice (though I'll gotta see how it performs vanward managerial an official recommendation).

The ThinkPad X12 Exposing is expected to be awaited in January 2021, starting at $1,149.
