private display for consuming content on the go", these glasses are compatible with USB-C equipped smartphones, tablets and laptops, and will connect to Lightning equipped iOS devices via adapters.Resembling a real pair of glasses, the Glasses T1 are equipped with interchangeable nose clips and adjustable temples to optimize comfort.They also support custom corrective lenses with a removable frame.The branches also accommodate a pair of speakers, as well as buttons for adjusting the volume, screen brightness and color temperature.The virtual screen, which can be anchored to a fixed point in space or move with your head, is provided by micro-OLED technology with a resolution of 1080 pixels per eye, a refresh rate of 60 Hz and a 10:000:1 contrast ratio.Glasses T1 can be used in particular for mobile games, but they will also give professionals on the move the possibility of having a “personal monitor in their pocket”.They also have privacy benefits: "By using Lenovo Glasses T1, workers have a private workspace to avoid 'shoulder surfing'," says Lenovo.Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold (2022).Images: Lenovo.The second-generation ThinkPad X1 Fold offers significantly more

sustainability credentials.The removable back cover is made from 100% recycled performance fabric, and post-consumer materials are used in the speaker enclosures, power supplies, and compostable outer packaging.This versatile foldable device supports multiple modes of operation, under the guidance of Lenovo's Mode Switcher interface: classic clamshell mode with a 12-inch main screen and a virtual or physical keyboard at the bottom;landscape or portrait mode with the 16.3-inch screen fully unfolded and placed on a magnetic mounting support;and two handheld modes – book and tablet.The new ThinkPad X1 Fold is also the first to integrate an improved version of Intel's Visual Sensing Controller (VSC), which manages the 5 MP webcam to provide automatic framing, "wake-on-approach"
