Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2 review
The Lenovo Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2 ranks as the #415 laptops globally, achieving a LibraScore of 73. Across all metrics, this product stands out most for its #472-ranked features among 451 laptops. Consider the HP ZBook Fury 17 G7 or HP EliteBook 860 G11, which offer higher scores while staying in the same price range.
Is it Worth it?
The Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2 offers a compelling package, but its worthiness depends on individual needs. With a full HD display, Intel Ultra 5 U-series processor, and 16GB of RAM, this device provides solid performance. Battery life exceeds expectations, clocking over 12 hours, making it comparable to the Surface Pro 11. The inclusion of a keyboard and pen adds value, but the half-terabyte SSD model is pricey, with an expected retail price around $1,500. This is competitive with the Surface Pro, considering you get more features for your money.

Display

The Intel Ultra 5 U series processor and standard Full HD display combo ensure that this device sips power rather than guzzles it, allowing for over 12 hours of use on a single charge. For its intended purpose, the Full HD display is more than adequate, making it an attractive option for those seeking a balance between mobility and functionality. Get your hands on Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook if you're looking for better display.

Battery and Charging
The Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2 boasts impressive battery life, exceeding 12 hours with its full HD display and Intel Ultra 5 U series processor. The device sips less juice than higher-res OLED displays, thanks to its more modest screen resolution. However, charging is a different story. I'm eager to test the USB 4 ports and see if they live up to their Thunderbolt-like throughput claims.
Connectivity
The Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2 boasts two USB 4 ports, which have the same throughput as Thunderbolt but may not work with all Thunderbolt accessories. This is an intriguing compromise, offering high-speed connectivity without full Thunderbolt compatibility. The device's mobility and versatility are further enhanced by its LTE capabilities, making it a compelling option for those seeking a seamless on-the-go experience. For a superior connectivity, Lenovo Legion Go S could be the right choice.
