Windows 10: Lenovo Flex 5G PC to be available in the US starting June 18

Brink · Jun 16, 2020

To empower mass adoption of ultra-fast, low-latency laptop connectivity, Lenovo is partnering with Verizon, EE, Sunrise and CMCC. These mobile network operators are committed to making 5G computing a reality for consumers around the world.

These collaborations follow the unveiling earlier this year of the Lenovo Yoga 5G (known as Lenovo Flex 5G in the U.S.) â the worldâs first 5G PC in market [1]. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx 5G compute platform, this convertible laptop with Windows 10 delivers high-speed 5G network connectivity (through a 5G service provider) â up to 10 times faster than 4G [2].

Thanks to that platform, you can stay online with up-to-24-hours battery life [3]. When secure, stable Wi-Fi isnât available, the 5G network provides faster and more reliable connectivity options when streaming, real-time collaborating, video-chatting, gaming or file-transferring.

The Lenovo Yoga 5G/Flex 5G will have 5G network coverage starting in the U.S. and select markets in Europe and China.

You can buy the Lenovo Yoga 5G/Flex 5G starting June 18 in the U.S. online at Verizon for $1,399.99. For those in the U.S., a one-year Microsoft 365 Personal subscription is included with the Flex 5G through lenovo.com and Verizon.

Later this year, the Lenovo Yoga 5G is expected to be available through Lenovo.com in select geographies and through EE in the U.K., Sunrise in Switzerland and CMCC in China. Each mobile network operator will share more details on pricing, availability and 5G data plans.

[1] Based on research conducted by Lenovo in June 2020 of laptops sold by major PC manufacturers shipping > 1 million units worldwide annually.
[2] Requires 5G network service and separately purchased cellular data plan that may vary by location. Additional terms, conditions and/or charges apply. Connection speeds will vary due to location, environment, network conditions and other factors.
[3] Up to 24+ hours based on local, offline video playback on continuous loop, and requires unit configured with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx 5G Compute Platform. All battery life claims are approximate. Actual battery performance will vary and depend on numerous factors including product configuration and usage, software, operating conditions, wireless functionality, power management settings, screen brightness and other factors. The maximum capacity of the battery will naturally decrease with time and usage.

Intel to Bring 5G to Mobile PCs by 2019

Today, Intel announced it is collaborating with Dell, HP, Lenovo and Microsoft to bring 5G connectivity to Windows PCs with Intel XMM 8000 series commercial 5G modems. Intel expects the first high-performing 5G-connected PCs to surface in the market in the second half of 2019.

Mobile World Congress (MWC) attendees will get a first sneak peek at a concept 5G-connected PC - a detachable 2 in 1 - connected by an early 5G modem and powered by 8th Generation Intel Core i5 processors. At MWC, Intel will showcase the power of 5G on a PC by livestreaming video over the 5G network. This concept is one of many stepping stones for moving the industry forward in what's possible for 5G-enabled PCs.

5G is not just another generation of wireless connectivity. It promises new opportunities for technology innovation across the computing and connectivity landscape from the cloud to the network and the client.

The PC is a central hub for processing incredible amounts of data. 5G is coming. Not only will it bring a substantial amount of data needing processing but also new experiences for PC owners. Imagine immersing in untethered VR from anywhere in the world, or downloading a 250 megabyte file in seconds from a parking lot. Or imagine being able to continue participating in a multiplayer game as you ride in an autonomous vehicle on the way to class. Radically different. This is just a sampling of the experiences 5G will reimagine for the mobile PC. As this transformation of data continues, it's critical for PCs to be ready with 5G.

In addition to 5G:
At MWC, Intel will also showcase the latest steps it has taken to build toward a more connected future with:

11ax, the next big thing in Wi-Fi. A thin PC with 802.11ax Wi-Fi will be on display at the Intel's booth in Hall 3 at Stand 3E31. 802.11ax builds enhanced levels of manageability and network efficiency, and will be a critical part of the connected future with 5G.

eSIM functionality will be on display at Intel's booth in Hall 3 at Stand 3E31. As of September 2017, all of Intel's modem solutions for PCs support eSIM in enterprise and consumer segments. eSIM is an essential feature for connected PCs, and Intel plans to continue offering it going forward. Intel continues to work across the ecosystem to ensure our end customers enjoy seamless out-of-the-box experiences.

Intel is investing deeply across its wireless portfolio and partners to bring 5G-connected mobile PCs to market, with benefits for users, like high-quality video on-the-go, high-end gaming, and seamless connections as users traverse Wi-Fi and cellular networks. With 5G's critical speeds and capacity, Intel will help to open the door to new experiences hardly imaginable today, and make connecting online from anywhere, anytime the norm.

Qualcomm and Lenovo unveil first 5G PC powered by Snapdragon

The world's first announced 5G PC* was revealed at Computex Taipei 2019, marking the inception of a new era in computing. Qualcomm Technologies, a leader in 5G, and Lenovo, a world leader in PCs, joined forces on this breakthrough 5G PC. Named Project Limitless, the PC is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cx 5G compute platform, the world's first 7nm platform purpose-built for PCs.

This collaboration between industry leaders ushers in a new generation of Always On, Always Connected PCs** that are designed to deliver the benefits of the unifying connectivity fabric made possible by 5G. It will also open the door to new, transformative user experiences for both consumers and enterprise.

The Snapdragon 8cx, the most extreme Snapdragon ever, offers extreme performance, extreme battery life, and extreme connectivity. It supports immersive user experiences, multi-gigabit data speeds, multi-day battery life***, enterprise applications, and security-rich capabilities. It features the Snapdragon X55 5G modem and Qualcomm Technologies RF Front-end, a comprehensive solution that allows OEMs to bring 5G connectivity to even the thinnest form factor, including PCs. Users can experience peak download speeds of up to 7 Gbps without a Wi-Fi connection or a hotspot.

When this 5G connection works in concert with on-device AI, new and smarter user experiences can become a reality. For instance, users might rely on their 5G PC for real-time translation when conversing with others around the world as users converse in English with their Mandarin-speaking colleagues.

Bandwidth-intensive tasks that involve downloading and uploading large files over a wireless connection could happen so seamlessly that it can be hard to tell the difference between local and remote storage. This is because of the Snapdragon platforms impressive connectivity, performance and power efficiency. For example, users might collaborate with classmates online while editing video footage in real time and then upload the finished film almost instantly. The Snapdragon 8cx's ultra-low latency, extreme performance, and extreme connectivity work together to make this possible.

The Snapdragon 8cx 5G platform with the X55 5G modem also supports the fastest 4G connectivity available today. The modem supports Category 22 LTE, achieving peak download speeds of up to 2.5 Gbps. And because it's compatible with virtually any band used by global operators in any region, users can rely on their Always On, Always Connected PC to stay connected almost anywhere in the world.

Qualcomm invents breakthrough technologies that transform how the world connects, computes, and communicates - and this extends far beyond smartphones. With the Snapdragon 8cx 5G compute platform, we're able to collaborate with leaders in the PC industry like Lenovo to make 5G even more accessible with innovative devices like Project Limitless.

The next generation of connectivity is here, and we're excited to see what the world invents.
