Lenovo showcases the ThinkPad X1 Fold with Windows 10 operating system
Lenovo released the first ThinkPad X1 Fold notebook computer with a flexible foldable screen at the CES 2020 conference in January this year. At the time, they said that the system installed on the ThinkPad X1 Fold would be the Windows 10X version instead of the ordinary Windows 10 system.
But unfortunately, not long ago, Microsoft’s Windows and device chief product officer, Panos Panay announced that Microsoft’s business focus this year will be shifted to single-screen Windows 10X devices instead of the previously announced dual-screen Windows 10X devices, at the same time, the Windows 10X system is estimated to be released as soon as next year, which means that the launch plan of the ThinkPad X1 Fold equipped with a folding screen may be affected.
