The Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Detachable is a powerful 2-in-1 laptop for on-the-go professionals who prefer to have an actual tablet running Windows 10 to work with instead of the typical 2-in-1 form factor. Much like the name suggests, this is a Lenovo...
Lightweight Good performance Excellent battery life
Limited Ports Terrible Speakers
The Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Detachable is a respectably powerful hybrid business laptop for those who want to seamlessly move from canvas to workstation, but it's not without its faults. The entry level configuration is affordable, but if you want to get...

All the bells and whistles of a ThinkPad in a smaller package.
+ Excellent included keyboard ; + Strong productivity performance ; + Reasonably priced ; + Long battery life
- Occasional mild whirring noise ; - Finicky touchpad
The Lenovo ThinkPad X12 detachable delivers a webcam shutter, excellent keyboard and above average power, proving the ThinkPad brand’s unique appeal can survive the transition to a new smaller form factor.

The Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Detachable competes strongly against the industry's leading 2-in-1.
Excellent detachable tablet design ; Solid build quality ; Outstanding (and included) detachable keyboard ; Good battery life ; Better than average display
Mediocre productivity performance ; Fully featured inking comes at a premium
Expert review by : Scott Gilbertson (wired.com)
SHOULD YOU GET a laptop or a tablet? Both? This is the question behind the success of Microsoft's Surface Pro series. It's a laptop. It's a tablet. It's not the best at either, but it's good enough for most people.
Bright, sharp 3:2-ratio screen. Great keyboard. Powerful enough for everyday use. Good, all-day battery life.
Trackpad is unreliable. Pricey for what you get.

Lenovo's ThinkPad X12 Detachable is a 12.3-inch tablet with a built-in kickstand and detachable keyboard. If that sounds familiar, it's because it's essentially the same as Microsoft's Surface Pro. The Surface Pro hasn't changed much at all for...
Strong build quality Multiple privacy, security features Keyboard, active pen included
Only has USB-C ports
And that's pretty much the story of Lenovo's ThinkPad X12 Detachable: It's a slim, sturdy tablet PC with lengthy battery life, zippy performance and all the accessories you need to get working already in the box. Just be prepared to get dongles or a...

ThinkPad power, Surface Pro convenience.
Keyboard and stylus included ; Solid processor for this size ; 3:2 display
Not many ports ; Small touchpad ; Limited upgradeability
Lenovo’s new ThinkPad X12 Detachable is a convertible laptop for business users. It’s a 3:2 Windows tablet with a detachable keyboard, powered by Intel’s latest 11th Gen processors.

Lenovo's ThinkPad X12 Detachable is an obvious choice for corporate jet-setters who need a Windows tablet with a detachable keyboard, plenty of security and manageability features, and traditional black styling.
Expert review by : Mark Hachman (pcworld.com)
The Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 1 offers a decent value alternative to Microsoft's Surface Pro 7+ in the latest generation of Windows tablets.
Good value for the price ; Competitive performance ; Intriguing "Glance" app preserves security
Excessively weak connection between the keyboard and tablet ; Muddy audio ; Poor color and lighting on 1080p webcam
Lenovo’s ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 1’s sober black design communicates that it’s designed for productivity first and foremost. Our real-world tests showed that it handles the demands of the work-from-home office fairly well, although I had to train...
Expert review by : Phillip Tracy (laptopmag.com)
Lenovo's take on the Surface Pro 7+, the ThinkPad X12 is a success (with a few annoying downsides)
Solid performance ; Long battery life ; Good 12.3-inch display ; Excellent keyboard ; Accessories come bundled (depending on the region)
Terrible speakers ; No USB Type-A
Lenovo's ThinkPad X12 Detachable is an excellent 2-in-1 tablet for business users — one that edges out the Surface Pro 7+ in many ways.
