New Lenovo ThinkBook 13s and 14s laptops - built for business

Technology is driven by the next big thing and at Transform 3.0 at Accelerate, Lenovo is launching a new sub-brand dedicated to small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) called ThinkBook – starting with a new line of ultra-slim Windows 10 laptops that embrace the portability and ease-of-use of modern consumer-oriented devices and will no doubt help to empower tomorrow’s successful business leaders.

Why ThinkBook

In this constantly online world, modern workers need a streamlined laptop they can use to collaborate from nearly any remote location, and no other group leverages smarter technology to enhance productivity quite like the smartphone-literate workers in the next generation. Nearly 60 percent1 of what’s being dubbed the “new workforce” grew up working, creating and communicating online with stylish devices that make a statement. Comprised of Millennials and Gen Z, these two generations of workers crave meaningful employment and expect company devices that blur the lines of work, life, passion and purpose.

Backed by customer research, ThinkBook is specially designed for the SMBs buying consumer laptops for perceived design and price advantages but can no longer rationalize their lack of extended services and warranties—core needs of any sized business. ThinkBook allows growing firms to keep a competitive edge in attracting today’s young tech-savvy execs with cool looking yet cost-effective devices.

“The new wave of young business leaders expects their workplace devices to do more but with a minimalist look,” said Eric Yu, Lenovo Senior Vice President and GM of the SMB business segment, Lenovo Intelligent Devices Group. “ThinkBook is a perfect fit to fill this existing product gap in the SMB marketplace.”

Beginning with the End-User

Across the globe, growing companies are embracing a trend termed Choose Your Own Device (CYOD). According to our field research with 8,000 global respondents, the new workforce cares a lot about how their computing device looks, e.g. colors and materials, but still prefers to choose from a curated list that the organization provides.

The ultra-slim ThinkBook S series, available in a 13-inch and 14-inch model, is designed for business buyers unwilling to make trade-offs in essentials such as, security, reliability, and support services, while satisfying the demand for sleek-looking devices that bring the familiar smartphone experience to PCs.

Perfect for any business, the new Lenovo ThinkBook 13s and 14s combine modern style and consumer-oriented design elements, such as aluminium exteriors, with the business-grade and built-in security features that consumers expect from the Think family PCs.

Stylish and More Secure

ThinkBook laptops have a premium feel, can lay flat at 180°, and feature ultra-narrow bezels to pack a larger display into a small portable package. Wrapped in aluminium and magnesium metals in a Mineral Grey finish, the laptop’s light-weight, slim body weighs in at 3.3lbs (1.5kg) on the ThinkBook 14s and 2.95lbs (1.34kg) on the ThinkBook 13s.

ThinkBook ultra-slim laptops incorporate business features not often included in their pricier alternatives. Features include:

Single-step authentication and power-on with the touch fingerprint reader

Discrete TPM 2.0 to enable Windows 10 security features and user data encryption

Physical ThinkShutter™ camera cover for privacy control

Hinges coated in Indium metal to reduce WiFi interference

Loud and clear sound enabled by Dolby Audio™ through HARMAN® speakers

Premium FHD displays with Dolby Vision® (on ThinkBook 13s) for rich, ultra-vivid visuals

Spill resistant keyboard designed to withstand up to 60cc of liquid

Up to 11 hours of battery life3 and RapidCharge on ThinkBook 13s, up to 10 hours3 on ThinkBook 14s

Rapid Response

The Windows Modern Standby feature on the ThinkBook 13s brings smartphone connectivity to business laptops; your device can download emails, receive Skype call alerts, and get Windows app updates – even with the lid closed. Moreover, it resumes from standby almost instantly with the Smart Power On button or voice command in some instances.

Skype for Business certified dual-array microphones and dual speakers by HARMAN for clear audio enhance the collaboration experience over VoIP calls. Plus, the dedicated Skype Hot Keys simplify calling with one key to answer and one key to hang up.

The technology inside a ThinkBook is engineered for minimal bottlenecks with 8th Generation Intel® Core™ processors, standard SSD, and powerful graphics with either Integrated Intel UHD 620 or discrete AMD Radeon™ 540X. RapidCharge technology is also standard on the ThinkBook 13s providing 80 percent battery capacity on one hour’s charge.

Business-grade Support

In business, PC downtime can have a cascading effect, resulting in poorer customer satisfaction that affects brand reputation. ThinkBook is supported by a range of business-grade services including Lenovo Premier Support, warranty extensions and upgrades, such as onsite next business day support and International Warranty Service to minimize any downtime.

ThinkBooks also come with built-in self-management features, especially useful for smaller companies without dedicated onsite support teams. Among these, the preloaded Lenovo Vantage software offers tools for preventive hardware diagnostics, personalized hardware settings and auto-install of critical updates.

ThinkBook 13s will be available in late May 2019, with an expected starting price of $729.

Lenovo expands ThinkBook portfolio

Lenovo has expanded its ThinkBook portfolio with a new generation of laptops powered by Intel or AMD, built for a work-from-anywhere world. They have a dual-tone top cover and ultra-narrow display bezels built for immersive viewing experiences.

ThinkBook 13 Gen 2 i

Co-engineered with Intel, the ThinkBook 13 Gen 2 i with optional WQXGA display has been tested, tuned and verified to meet the requirements of the Intel Evo platform across hardware specifications and key experience targets for device responsiveness, instant wake, battery life and fast charge [1]. You’ll find virtual meetings enhanced with microphones that can switch between three different audio modes: private, shared and environmental sound. It is expected to be available starting at $829 in October.

Lenovo ThinkBook 15 Gen 2 i

The ThinkBook 15 Gen 2 i delivers speed and productivity with 11th Gen Intel Core processors with Intel Iris Xe graphics, Thunderbolt 4, long battery life and flexible storage options. It’s also available with optional integrated wireless earbuds that can be stored within the laptop. These earbuds charge automatically when stored and instantly connect to the laptop audio when taken out, and are equipped with dual mics and environmental noise cancellation. Muting or unmuting yourself during calls is as easy as a double tap on the earbuds. This laptop is expected to be available starting at $569 in October.

Lenovo ThinkBook 14s Yoga i

The ThinkBook 14s Yoga i is the first 2-in-1 ThinkBook, with the power of 11th Gen Intel Core processors. When logged into Windows 10, Windows Ink shortcuts are ready the moment you pick up the Smart Pen, which syncs with your device. Pull out the Pen in modern standby mode and the note-taking app opens automatically. It is expected to be available starting at $879 in November.

Lenovo also debuted a new ThinkVision T27hv-20 USB-C Hub monitor. The 27-inch display features a 1080p IR/RGB webcam, noise cancelling microphones and integrated speakers that help users conference with confidence. Smart Guard blurs the screen the moment you look or move away or when it detects someone peeking over your shoulder. Smart Energy will turn off the screen when it senses that you have moved away from your desk, saving power and protecting data. It is expected to start at $549 in December.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Nano

Lenovo also unveiled the latest addition to its premium X1 portfolio, the ThinkPad X1 Nano. The lightest ThinkPad ever [2] at just 1.99 pounds, it breaks new ground for performance and functionality in a featherweight package. This is Lenovo’s first ThinkPad based on Intel Evo platform [3] and powered by 11th Gen Intel Core processors. It can deliver faster content creation, more than 20% faster office productivity [4] and faster gaming plus streaming in real-world workflows.

The X1 Nano is the first ThinkPad to feature an updated suite of AI and biometric ThinkShield security features. It is expected to be available in fourth quarter 2020, starting at $1,399.

Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold

Five years in the making, the ThinkPad X1 Fold is available to order. Blending familiar functionality from smartphones, tablets and laptops into a single foldable PC device, it is a good option to adapt to a variety of work environments. ThinkPad X1 Fold with Windows 10 is available to order now with prices starting at $2,499.
