8 GB of memory seems rather unpowered for such a high-end device.

Also: What is it with the keyboard? Is that attached to the back or where do I put that, when in folded mode?

It's a separate thin keyboard that's sitting on half the screen. There's another picture with the separate keyboard in the other Anantech article. https://www.anandtech.com/show/15280/lenovos-thinkpad-x1-fol...

I can't quite tell... Can it be folded without removing the keyboard?

After looking at the images, I think so, yes.

When folding it pretty much behaves like a normal notebook, where the screen folds onto the keyboard, only that there's more screen under the keyboard.

So, does it seem like it also foldspp without the keyboard without leaving an awkward gap?

Flexible OLED can’t fold flat anyway so there’s gap, and keyboard fits there.

If you half open it like reading a hardcover book sideways on a desk, the keyboard stays attached to the bottom half, and you can use this like a miniature laptop.

One side is full screen, the other is half screen half keyboard, like in a laptop.
