In Executive Editor Daniel Rubino s writeup about how Lenovo s ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga came to be, it s revealed that Lenovo wanted to create a convertible that s just as capable of acting as a tablet as it is a notebook.
Sure, the standard X1 Yoga (Gen 6) can be used as a tablet thanks to its low 3-pound (1.4kg) weight and 0.59-inch (14.9mm) thickness, but really only for short bursts. The X1 Titanium Yoga, on the other hand, weighs in at 2.54 pounds (1.15kg) and measures just 0.45 inches (11.5mm) thin. This is the thinnest ThinkPad Lenovo has so far created, but it s durable thanks to the titanium lid and magnesium alloy bottom. You can use it as a tablet without really noticing the weight or added thickness of the keyboard portion.

It is no secret that of all the laptops announced at CES 2021, the new ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is among those I found the most interesting. It s the kind of 2-in-1 laptop that you expect to be ARM-based instead of Intel x86-powered. With 5G, a titanium lid, packed with features like Thunderbolt 4, and one of the first haptic trackpads, the X1 Titanium is both familiar and unique. It is quite literally the thinnest ThinkPad ever made.
But I had many questions about
how Lenovo made the Titanium Yoga, and just as importantly,
why. After all, you can order the 6th Gen X1 Yoga, which is also a 2-in-1 business laptop with optional 5G. What makes this so special?
What you need to know
The ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is a brand-new laptop from Lenovo for 2021.
It s made from titanium, magnesium, and carbon, weighing just 2.5lbs.
It features Intel 11th Gen processors with optional 5G.

Lenovo s ThinkPad line has a long legacy, and with CES 2021, many new refreshes to existing models like the famed X1 Carbon and X1 Yoga.
But Lenovo also has an entirely new model: ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga 5G.
Thin as a tablet, packed with an Intel 11th Gen Core i7 processor, optional 5G connectivity, and a remarkable 3:2 aspect ratio, this 2-in-1 laptop (with an included pen) is the ultimate mobile productivity machine.
