It doesn’t feel like it needs protecting, though. The screen is also recessed in this bezel frame to protect it when folded closed. In this folded-out position, the X1 looks rather like a Surface Pro but with slightly thicker bezels. Look at this in direct sunlight, and you’ll see little but shadows. This 2048 by 1536-pixel display has great color, but isn’t very bright: we measured it at a maximum of just under 300 cd/m2. Fold it out to the tablet configuration, and you get the full 13.3-inch OLED screen, with no visible fold or join: it is one flat sheet of OLED screen. Let’s get the main thing out of the way first: yes, the screen folds, and you can’t see the fold. The wrap-around leather cover makes it much easier to pick up and carry around than a Surface Pro or other non-folding tablet. This keyboard is also slim enough that it fits between the two halves of the folded screen, producing a handy, portable package, about the size of a thin paperback.
