The X1 Fold has Intel’s Core i5 hybrid processor, which is a lower-power chip than the regular Core i5 found in most laptops. It was first used in the Samsung Galaxy Book S, which had a slightly disappointing performance.
The X1 Fold handles surprisingly well, however. It won’t win any raw performance awards, but it was generally snappy and perfectly capable of doing everything I asked of it, from fairly complex edits in Affinity Photo to wrangling 30 tabs in Chrome. It has fans but I heard them only when the machine was doing updates.
