AMD Ryzen – Lenovo’s ThinkPad and ThinkVision built for power and productivity – Back End News

The growing demand for a flexible and sturdy workhorse for remote work setup led to the creation of the latest additions in Lenovo’s ThinkPad and ThinkVision portfolios.

The redesigned and re-engineered ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 promises to deliver more power, better connectivity and rich configuration options in response to customer demand. Powered by up to the latest 11th Gen Intel Core i9 H-Series vPro processors and available with the latest Nvidia GeForce RTX Laptop GPUs, up to 64GB DDR4 memory, and dual Solid-State Drive (SSD) support, the X1 Extreme Gen 4 is also offered with optional 5G Wireless WAN1 for high-speed access to cloud data.

The ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 4 is designed with edge-to-edge 16-inch display options up to 4K along with Dolby Vision support, a new FHD webcam, dual noise-cancelling microphones and a user-facing Dolby Atmos Speaker System that is 20% larger than previous generation. All this performance wrapped in the ThinkPad durable package that weighs less the 1.81kg (4 lbs).

Lenovo is also introducing the ThinkPad L13 Gen 2 and L13 Yoga Gen 2 powered by the latest AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Mobile Processors. Designed to offer value without compromise, the L13 series help users work more efficiently with features focused on productivity and security. To complete the picture addressing new hybrid working styles, we are also launching an all-new ThinkVision M15 mobile monitor that delivers second screen flexibility in a highly portable package, and the ThinkVision T24m-20 display and MC50 webcam that together offer a thoughtfully designed high-quality affordable video conferencing solution.

The fourth generation ThinkPad X1 Extreme is designed with up to 11th Gen Intel Core i9 H-series processors with an optional Intel vPro platform designed to deliver high performance, protected by ThinkShield for enterprise-class security features, vivid displays and advanced mobile graphics options. Thin at just 17.7mm and under 1.81kg (4 lbs), the X1 Extreme Gen 4 is built with multiple layers of reinforced carbon fiber.

Companion to the X1 Extreme is the new ThinkVision M15 mobile monitor. Weighing just 860 grams (1.9 lbs), the M15 almost doubles the X1 Extreme viewing space with an extra 15.6 inches of FHD screen real-estate, easily connected via a USB Type-C cable which can also offer power pass-through for an elegant one cable solution. It can even connect to a compatible smartphone with a full-function USB Type-C port.

If a larger fixed monitor is needed for a dedicated workspace, the ThinkVision T24m-20 is not only a 23.8-inch FHD monitor but is an effective one cable USB Type-C docking solution that supports data, video/audio, ethernet signal transfer and up to 90W power delivery to compatible devices. It also supports more advanced functions such as daisy chain for a multi monitor configuration and a mirrored power button can turn on a compatible connected PC.

Designed to fit any current ThinkVision P or T series monitor6, the new ThinkVision MC50 Monitor Webcam is however perfectly suited to transform the T24m-20 into an affordable video conferencing hub. The FHD 1080p webcam with built-in dual noise cancelling microphones delivers great audio-visual quality and has a clever smart traffic light that illuminates a red light on top of the webcam when the user is in a conference call, thereby informing colleagues or family members that the user is “busy”!

The MC50 is easy to use with a plug-and-play USB connection, has a tilt and swivel function so only the camera needs to be repositioned, not the whole monitor, and includes a physical camera shutter and an anti-theft attachment for added security.

AMD

Lenovo is expanding its ThinkPad L series portfolio with two new additions powered by AMD Ryzen 5000 Series Mobile Processors with AMD Radeon Graphics and PRO versions available. Boosting productivity with flexible docking options and Modern Standby, the black or silver L13 laptops include built-in ThinkShield security solutions for added peace of mind. Enterprise-level biometrics like Windows Hello facial recognition, a Match on Chip Fingerprint Reader, along with a physical webcam shutter and AMD security features, all combine for enhanced data and device protection.

The ThinkPad L13 Yoga Gen 2 is our first Windows 10 convertible laptop powered by the latest AMD Ryzen Mobile processors. Delivering the speed and responsiveness needed in today’s work-from-anywhere world, the 13.3-inch L13 Yoga Gen 2 delivers multimode versatility for up to 10.6 hours per day4 from its 46Whr battery. The optional Integrated Pen is designed to work on the touch-enabled display in the familiar ways’ users do, with more accurate write, draw, scroll and swipe functions.
