Lenovo Unveils New ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2

Lenovo has officially introduced the new ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2, a device designed to cater to the needs of highly mobile professionals by combining performance, portability, and versatility. This latest iteration in the ThinkPad series comes with a 3:2 ratio 12.3-inch display, protected by Gorilla Glass, ensuring durability.

The ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2 is powered by the latest generation Intel Core Ultra U series low-power processors, which features an integrated AI engine. This combination promises to elevate productivity levels through a seamless user experience. The device is built to handle multitasking and productivity/office tasks, thanks to up to 32GB Dual Channel LPDDR5x (soldered memory).

For professionals constantly on the move, this laptop’s detachable, backlit folio keyboard, complete with a three-button TrackPad and an optional magnetic pen, offers huge convenience and versatility. That’s a form factor that has proven very successful in certain Windows verticals.

Whether for insurance agents, healthcare workers, or law enforcement officers, the ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2 is tailored to support tasks like capturing photographic evidence, form completion, and digital signature collection. Connectivity is built into the design of this device, with [optional] CAT16 4G WWAN support ensuring that users stay connected no matter where they are.

In this age of Zoom conferences, there is a user-facing 5MP + IR camera and an 8MP World-facing camera, both of which promise clear video calls and high-quality photography capabilities for remote users.

We had a chance to play with the keyboard and can vouch for its amazing quality and tactile feedback. We demanded that Lenovo make it available to their Android tablets. The keyboard connects via pogo pins, which ensures easy instant connectivity and no latency.

Measuring just 283.3 x 203.5 x 8.8 mm and weighing a mere 0.34 kg (0.75 Lbs without the keyboard, the ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2 is a highly portable yet powerful device option for professionals across various sectors.
