Lenovo unveiled its latest 2-in-1 detachable laptop, the ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2, at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024. As a successor to the original X12 detachable, the Gen 2 model aims to build upon the versatility and performance offered by the detachable form factor.
The most notable upgrade in the Gen 2 is the move to Intel’s latest 12th Gen Core Ultra processors. With the improved performance and efficiency of the Ultra chips, Lenovo claims the X12 Gen 2 can handle demanding workloads like content creation and multitasking smoothly compared to its predecessor.
In terms of design, Lenovo retains the familiar detachable look of the original X12. Users can easily switch between laptop and tablet modes thanks to the magnetic attachment system. The Gen 2 model is expected to keep signature ThinkPad features like the comfortable backlit keyboard, split trackpad, and the iconic red TrackPoint pointing stick. The included Active Pen stylus also makes it convenient for writing or drawing in tablet mode.

Interestingly, Microsoft’s AI assistant Copilot will also come built into the X12 Gen 2 with a dedicated launch button. This Copilot integration aligns with Microsoft’s plans to include dedicated Copilot keys in future Windows laptops to simplify access to the AI assistant.
The ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2 is slated for launch in April 2024 starting at $1,399. While the Gen 2 brings welcome upgrades like the latest Intel processors and Copilot integration, it remains to be seen how it will fare against rivals like the Microsoft Surface Pro 8 in real-world usage. The X12 Gen 2 was announced alongside the ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 at MWC 2024.
