Durability & Security Features
Business laptops need to be more secured and feature enriched than the average consumer models. With durability and repairability, X1 Titanium offers much more. The laptop has Military-grade sustainable build, Titanium along with Carbon fiber for the lid, and magnesium-aluminum alloy for the bottom part.
Such durability comes with a better security system as well. There is a fingerprint sensor on the laptop for the biometric security system with anti-spoofing technology. Thus your biometric information will be stored in the fingerprint reader itself, not in the computer. There is an IR camera for facial recognition as well. Apart from these, the BIOS of the laptop offers a self-healing technology. If your laptop fails to update properly or is being attacked by some malicious programs, the X1 Titanium can restore the previous BIOS version to overcome the issue.
Business people are always busy doing kinds of stuff. Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Titanium has an ultrawideband radar sensor. When you move away from your computer it locks itself. As soon as you come in front of the computer, the laptop will wake up and unlock automatically so that you can work again. These features and other features are handled with care through the Lenovo Vantage app.
Keyboard & Touchpad
The laptop is thin but the keyboard is a solid one. You know, Lenovo keyboards are one the best, if not the best, laptop keyboards out in the market. However, there might be some key travel limitations as Lenovo has to keep a slimmer body.
The touchpad on X1 Titanium could have been better. Confusions aside, Touchpad is good on X1 Titanium but doesn’t go with the intense price tag of the device. Not to mention, there are the mouse buttons, TrackPoint nub, and so on. Lenovo made a haptic touchpad by Sensel, where the touchpad doesn’t have any moving parts. Due to haptic feedback, users get a feel like the traditional trackpad.
I/O Ports
