First day I received it the screen started to black out off and on. Second day the speakers started to sound distorted. Under warranty so these will be fixed but no a good start at all. I'm worried about the long term reliability now.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Build quality is excellent. The keyboard is very nice to type on. The TrackPoint pointing device is as good as ever. The display is crisp and the camera is high quality. I also like the physical switch on the camera that allows you to ensure it's fully off and blocked. It also includes a real audio port, which is rare these days. The only drawback is there are only two usb-c ports, and one is needed for charging purposes. A docking station or usb hub would be needed to use any peripherals.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great screen quality and ease of use as both a laptop and tablet; lightweight and able to take a bit of a bump. Only challenge is that pen doesn't integrate as well into setup as with other models - attaches with magnet to the side rather than more streamlined.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm not one to jump on 1st gen products but the specs on this were too appealing to resist. Finally someone made a quality 3:2 aspect ratio in a 2-1 shell. I've been dealing with the heavy Surface Book as my 13" range 2-1, but this Thinkpad is by far way easier to use, not just because it is lighter. The titanium feels great, look snice and is very sturdy. I would recommend this to anyone who wants quality with 3:2 aspect. I've only had it a week and I can tell you that normal use (Office, Email, Browsing etc.) just sips the battery. However I did a 2 hour Zoom call today and it used 45% of the battery in 2 hours... had screen on 40% brightness. So there is some downside to the smaller battery. However for me an outlet is never far away so I'm not too concerned, but I figured that was a good reference for many similar users. The lightweight isn't as important to me as the sturdiness, but combined it is amazing! Keyboard feels great! Mouse trackpad is cool! Speakers are good, sound quality is way better than my Surface Book.
Here are my small complaints: (I thought of giving 4 stars but I figured these issues can be easily rectified in a timely manner)
1.Both USB ports are on one side, bad design IMHO
2.The Intel drivers for this are "too new". I'm having weird Bluetooth issues that I can't quite nail down, (quick disconnects and reconnects) but there are only 3 drivers available to choose from. Intel needs to fix this with Lenovo and Windows quickly, it's issues like this that give Windows a bad name.
3.I had similar Intel Wi-Fi issues however the latest driver really did fix that issue and nicely, didn't even need to reboot after the upgrade.
4.The Pen also seems to "blank out" every once few moments, but I think that is related to the Bluetooth issues I previously mentioned.
5.The Pen's magnetic holder is a little weak, it bumps off easily... not the end of the world, but it's good to be aware.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wouldn’t pay full price, but this laptop is worth at refurb price. I’ve had one issue so far where the backspace key sticks, but it only happened once. Otherwise I like it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lenovo has come a long way the last few years on reliability and service. This is the 3rd Lenovo I have bought in the last 6 years, one was a gift. Like the quality and build of the new ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, sound, and lightness. Only down side was limited ports, but I knew that when I purchased this computer. I would purchase again.
