Fresh rumors from China: Lenovo might announce the newest member of its prestigious ThinkPad X1 series in a few days. The ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga would be a high-end convertible with a metal build - unusual for a ThinkPad laptop.

Brushed metal doesn't mix with their fugly keys. There's no fundamental improvement unless they bring back the proper keys from that 25th anniversary model.
Lenovo uses this perspective trick to make the displays taller than they really are. Don't be fooled, look at the bottom bezel and the depth of the bottom body, the top is going to match with that regardless of how it looks at a glance. I wouldn't be surprised if the screen is only 16:10 instead of 3:2 or worse yet, 16:9.
@Joi,
wouldn't be the first time that a 3:2 laptop features a large bottom bezel - I refer to the Acer Swift 3 (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Fully-Loaded-Acer-Swift-3-SF313-with-Ice-Lake-Processor-in-Review.454113.0.html) as an example.
Also, the leaked specs from Verizon spoke of a 13.5 inch screen - 3:2 13.5 inch screens are common. For 16:9, 13.3 inch is the usual format.
Thanks for the details and hope you are right. The market needs more taller screen options.
