Published

on

Lenovo has launched new hardware and software solutions at MWC 2024 that showcase its focus on AI-driven innovation and commitment to a more sustainable future. These include brand new ThinkPad and ThinkBook business laptops – unveiling AI features that enhance productivity, creativity, and efficiency – with performance enhancements and multi-mode versatility. Additionally, Lenovo introduced a selection of accessories designed to boost mobile productivity, including the ThinkVision M14t Gen 2 portable display, a USB-C Slim Travel Dock for comprehensive docking on the go, and a redesigned ThinkPad Executive 16-inch Backpack that allows for easy carrying of a mobile office.

Rounding out the new hardware announcements are new software solutions, including Lenovo Identity Advisor, a digital identity monitoring tool and Smart Connect, a software that unlocks multi-device synergies and maximizes productivity. Finally, Lenovo unveiled a futuristic proof of concept laptop – the ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop Concept – which features the industry’s first laptop with a 17.3-inch Micro-LED transparent display, providing a completely borderless and see-through display experience.

Lenovo also showcased the Lenovo ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop Concept. This laptop revolutionises the interaction and creation experience with its remarkable 17.3-inch Micro-LED transparent display. With a borderless screen, transparent keyboard area, and a seemingly floating footpad design, it effortlessly exudes a sense of high-tech simplicity, elevating the user’s overall experience.

The brilliance of this laptop lies in its intelligent integration of the virtual and real. Through the power of Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC), the transparent screen opens up new avenues of work collaboration and efficiency by enabling interaction with physical objects and overlaying digital information to create unique user-generated content. The transparency allows it to effortlessly integrate naturally within its environment. Users can seamlessly switch between the keyboard and drawing board with a supported pen, unlocking new levels of creative efficiency. AI in combination with transparent displays will open up new ways of engaging with data and applications, offering opportunities to develop new features and form factors.

Micro-LED technology offers many advantages in the development of transparent displays. High colour saturation combined with exceptional contrast and 1000 nit brightness of the screen allows for optimal visibility both indoors and outdoors, making it equally suitable for nearly any setting. The technology also offers more possibilities in the future with further optimization of image quality, durability and adjustable transmittance to provide more privacy or more transparency to interact with real-world objects. With its ability to display videos and dynamic images, the transparent screen seamlessly blends and harmonizes with its surroundings.

The Lenovo ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop Concept is not only a proof of concept but showcases a futuristic perspective on AI PCs, blending digital and physical environments that can enhance user experiences in ways never imagined. Lenovo also launched new business laptops including the ThinkPad T14 i Gen 5, ThinkPad T14s Gen 5, ThinkPad T16 Gen 3, ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2 and ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 4. These laptops are powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra processors with Intel vPro on select models and Windows 11 and offer an optimal ecosystem of AI hardware and software solutions to deliver enhanced levels of security, power efficiency, and immersive experiences.

With an ever-increasing selection of software applications that benefit from the dedicated AI acceleration support, users can enjoy new and enhanced proficiencies across broad areas of usability and productivity. Copilot in Windows is at the user’s fingertips as their everyday AI companion and it works across many different apps on Windows 11 to control settings, kickstart creativity and save time with tasks including summarizing web pages and emails. Quickly access the AI companion with one press of the Copilot key.

The AI PC revolution is here, and Lenovo is dedicated to transforming its PCs and smart devices to deliver personalized AI solutions. These new Lenovo laptops are amongst the first to drive it. They offer users the most comprehensive personalized PC experiences yet, helping to streamline workstreams and boost productivity. Whether it is collaborating with colleagues, meeting with customers, or analyzing data and creating content, these new ThinkPad and ThinkBook laptops can accelerate workflows with supported AI-enabled software tools users need to encourage maximum creativity and efficiency.

The ThinkPad T series is one of Lenovo’s most successful business laptops, and the new ThinkPad T series laptops reinforce the importance of a very popular workhorse laptop built for discerning business users who seek high-performance and durable devices with access to the latest features designed to improve and enhance everyday productivity. The latest generation ThinkPad T14, T14s, and T16 incorporate the premium design feature of the elegant Communications Bar that houses a 5MP camera, noise cancelling microphones, and also acts as an easy one-handed lip for opening and closing the device. Furthermore, the communications bar allows for narrower bezels thereby increasing the screen-to-body ratio resulting in a more refined thinner and lighter design.

In addition, embracing the inclusive user experience focus of Lenovo’s Product Diversity Office, the ThinkPad T series will integrate the tactile markings announced on the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12 and ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 9. These additional tactile cues are designed to increase accessibility and aid users who are visually impaired to navigate the keyboard. Furthermore, the frequently used CTRL key has been swapped with the Fn key to be more readily accessible on the left edge of the keyboard. Additional user-centric innovations continue to enhance end-user experiences, such as:

  • Double tapping the TrackPoint opens the TrackPoint Quick Menu allowing users to customize common features such as microphone or camera settings.
  • Lenovo View application, which runs on the Intel Core Ultra NPU to save processor load, provides video enhancing tools for the camera including a new Low Light Enhancer that can brighten and denoise video in low light environments.
  • 3M Optical Film solution is available on optional WUXGA displays on ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 and T14s Gen 5. The embedded optical film increases the brightness of the display from 300 nits to 400 nits while using up to 16% less power, thereby reducing energy consumption.
  • New ThinkPad T14 and T16 designs integrate enhanced repairability features.
  • The new ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 will also be available powered by AMD Ryzen 8040 series processors with built-in AMD Ryzen AI, giving customers a broader choice of high-performance CPUs.

Lenovo is transitioning to a circular economy by innovating in the supply chain, product design, and services and is focusing on a “design, use, return, re-use” model and promoting disassembly and recycling. Lenovo integrates closed-loop recycled plastic into its products and aims to recycle 800 million pounds of end-of-life products by 2025-2026. They also aim to use 300 million pounds of post-consumer recycled content plastics in their products and improve packaging sustainability.

With support from the iFixit team, Lenovo created new repair guides including video procedures for all CRU parts as well as making those parts easier to order. This extends the product lifecycle, reduces electronic waste and offers cost-saving advantages for businesses and individuals. As a result of these improvements, ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 and T16 Gen 3 achieved a provisional iFixit repairability score of 9.3 out of 10.
