VP Brian Leonard says he’s heard and addressed the complaints.

. And Brian Leonard, the company’s VP of design, would like us all to know that our complaints have been heard and addressed.

But most of what made the first-gen X1 Fold difficult to use stemmed from the fact that it was too small. For one, the keyboard needed to be small enough to fit inside the device when it was closed and to magnetically attach to the bottom half when it was folded at 90 degrees. But that meant that it couldn’t be full size and a number of keys had to be combined. The apostrophe was positively infinitesimal.

The new keyboard is much bigger, without the key-smooshing. It’s backlit and has the ThinkPad trackpoint as well as a fingerprint sensor. Leonard assures me that he types on the on-screen keyboard himself all the time. “For quick moments of doing things, answering a quick email or doing internet searches or whatever, if I’m not spending a lot of time and I’m not writing long things, I’m okay on the screen,” he says.The other big fix is that the screen is now 16 inches.
