Review Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 10 · Core Ultra 7 258V
Lenovo ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 10 · Core Ultra 7 258V
Intel Core Ultra 7 258V · Intel Arc Graphics 140V · 32GB LPDDR5x-8533 · 512GB SSD · 14″ 1920×1200 IPS 60Hz · 1.376 kg
Significantly faster integrated graphics – runs quieter than last year's model,
optional WAN and 8 MP webcam, loud speakers, very long battery life (~22h).
Slow black-white response times, high refresh rate/P3 limited to OLED,
unsteady CPU and GPU performance, USB-C positioning could be better.
One of the most efficient subnotebooks available – but the IPS panel is not for gamers.
