The Lenovo think pad X 12 detachable is a 12 inch windows tablet with an inter gala processor
an active pen and an outstanding thinkpad keyboard. Both accessories are included
However, starting at over $1000 it's quite expensive. Is it worth it
Especially for business customers? I'm Andre for my next tablet dot com and that's what you will learn in this review
Let's start with the bay quality, which is very premium feeling just as you would expect from the think pad brand
The body is made of a magnesium alloy and seems very sturdy
I like that you can open the cake stand very wide, almost a full 180 degrees
The transition from the screen to the body is not as nice as on an ipad pro
but it looks like the think pad would with stand crashes much better
It's just 8.8 millimeters thin and weighs 1.2 kg including the keyboard on the top and the right side are air vents because
it's actively cooled and you can hear those fans on the heavy load
we get a power button volume controls and a Kensington lock on the left side
there's a micro S D card slot, a headphone jack and two USB C ports of which one is a Thunder 41
we get a five megapixel webcam above the screen which has an infrared sensor next to it
You can unlock it using face recognition, which works great. In addition
you can use the fingerprint scanner that's built into the keyboard cover as well
And that one works great too. I love that the front facing camera has a shutter so that you can lock the webcam physically
That's a fantastic feature if you value your privacy and don't want embarrassing surprises when being on a Zoom call
So, so photo and video quality are fantastic for windows device. The mega pixel camera on the back takes OK
photos and videos again, especially for a Windows device, but all ipads and pretty much most Android tablets are better in this regard
A major highlight of the Lenovo think pad X 12 detachable is the keyboard cover
It's nice to see that it is included without having to pay extra
The keyboard is connected using a magnetic connector and folded up. It protects the screen
Thanks to a magnetic bar, you can type at an angle which the Microsoft Surface lineup introduced
I was able to type on that keyboard very fast and smoothly without any issues
In fact, I think it's one of the best tablet keyboards on the market today
Sure, it's made of plastic, but feels very sturdy and just works great
The background light is a nice premium feature too. My only criticism at the beginning was that the control and function key are swapped in
comparison with all other keyboards I have. However, you can actually swap them in these settings yourself software wise
So it's not a problem at all. The touch pad is quite big for a tablet and features two separate mouse buttons and as is
typical for a think pad, it has this red track point which you can use as a mouse tool
Depending on the version. The thinkpad X 12 detachable is powered by an inter core I three I five or I seven processor of the
11th Tiger lag generation. The I three version has an intel U H G graphic while the graphics performance of the other ones is much
better. Thanks to an Intel I O X E graphic, there are versions with eight gigabyte and 16 gigabytes of R AM as well as
a 256 gigabyte up to one terabyte S S D. You can get it with four G S Y
I've gotten the version with an inter core I 5, 11 30 G7
eight gigabytes of ram and a 256 gigabyte S S D in the gig bench five benchmark
The C P U is as powerful as the CO I five version of the surface pro seven
The graphics performance is much better though. And the senior bench are 15 test
The Lenovo is faster than the Microsoft tablet in both cases. And the couple of months old Lenovo Yoga at seven I is much slower
to to render a nine minute four K video. In Adobe premiere rush
the think pad is needed 7.5 minutes. I'm using Premier Rush to compare the render performance with other platforms like ipads and
and tablets as well. It much faster than the Microsoft Surface Pro seven but can't keep up with an ipad Pro
I can't recommend any Windows tablet for gaming in particular, it's better to get an ipad or a gaming laptop for that
With that being said, I did try Fortnite and it does look good with the lowest settings and it's kind of playable
But for the main game as the performance is too weak with medium settings
it starts a lot. It's more than fast enough for office work
Of course, I was able to use Microsoft office apps, chrome and youtube and the background without any kind of lag with tasks like this
So you think that 12 performs very well and fast multitasking is possible
And that goes for Photoshop two which runs great. Let's get to the 12.3 inch screen like the surface Pro seven
It has an aspect ratio of three by two and it's protected by gorilla glass viewing angles are white because it's an IP S screen
and the colors look good. The 1920 by 12 80 resolution is not super high
but I think it's sharp enough. I like that. It's quite bright with 400 Nets
I used to think that X 12 detachable outside in the sun and was able to work just fine
Sure. In direct light, it's a bit harder but doable when using apps like Microsoft Word which have quite high contrast
such screens seem ideal for Netflix, but I can't recommend it as an entertainment tablet at all
That's because of the two speakers which sit on the right and the left side of the screen
their sound quality is pretty weak. It's lacking a proper base. In fact
even the single speaker of my Xiaomi M 90 Pro smartphone has a much more pleasing sound and tablets like the galaxy S seven plus
have much better speakers too. Included is an active pen that has a metal body and feels high and on the side are two buttons
and on the back, you've got to insert an included battery, the tip supports 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity and looks and works very similar
to the Microsoft surface pen. The pen is great for handwritten notes and apps like Microsoft one note and I used it in Adobe Photoshop
considering this is a standard 60 Hertz screen. The pen reacts well
But unlike with 120 Hertz tablets, the writing can lag behind the pen a bit when writing or drawing very fast
Sadly, you can't attach the pen magnetically to the side of the tablet
But the keyboard has a holder for it in my battery test
The Leno will think that X 12 detachable light at 7.5 hours for this
I'm always looping an H D youtube video at maximum brightness. Well
that's the end of my Lenovo think pad X 12 detachable review
Can I recommend it? Yes. at least if you're looking for a powerful and premium Windows tablet
I think it's a fantastic choice for businesses because the keyboard is included and it's one of the best out there
It's a great office tablet and fast enough for apps like Photoshop
I like the higher build quality, the 30 kick stand and the facial recognition and the camera shutter is a nice feature tool
However, I cannot recommend it as an entertainment or gaming tablet because of those weak speakers
If you want that, I'd always get an ipad or Android tablet
Instead, let's check out the competition. The first alternative that comes to mind is the Microsoft Surface Pro seven
Of course, its graphics performance is not as good, but the screen is a bit sharper and you can get colorful keyboards
Since it's older, you might find great deals for the Pro seven
So make sure you compare prices between the two and factor in the accessories if you are a Lenovo fan
but want something cheaper, you should check out the Lenovo Yoga duet seven
I it's an interesting alternative if you don't need as much power but want a cheaper and similar size to windows tablet and something to
note at the end, you might have noticed that I didn't use the touch screen with my fingers in this video
That's because while reviewing it, the touch screen stopped working. I don't know why
And I don't think it's a driver issue. It seems like I'm the only one with this problem
And yeah, something like this can always happen with every device and that's what the warranty is for
So I didn't let it influence my review, but I also didn't want to leave it completely unmentioned
Alright, that's it of my review of the Lenovo Think Pad X 12 detachable
