Lenovo has introduced a new series of thin and light laptops for business users called ThinkBook. In addition, the Chinese manufacturer introduced the ThinkPad X1 Extreme laptop of the second generation (Gen 2), which combines a small thickness and a productive "stuffing".
At the moment, Lenovo has introduced only two ThinkBook S models in the new family, which are characterized by a small thickness. New items differ from each other in size - they are equipped with displays with a diagonal of 13 and 14 inches and are called ThinkBook 13s and 14s, respectively. Computers are made in thin metal cases, the thickness of which is 15,9 and 16,5 mm, respectively. The displays, by the way, are surrounded by very thin bezels, due to which other dimensions are also reduced. New items weigh 1,4 and 1,5 kg, respectively.
In terms of specifications, both ThinkBook Ss use eighth-generation (Whiskey Lake) Intel Core processors, up to and including the Core i7. RAM in the smaller ThinkBook 13s can range from 4GB to 16GB, while the larger ThinkBook 14s offers 8GB to 16GB. By the way, the larger model is also equipped with a discrete graphics card Radeon 540X.
For data storage, the new products have a solid-state drive up to 512 GB. The display resolution in each case is 1920 Γ 1080 pixels. Battery life is 11 and 10 hours for the 13-inch and 14-inch models, respectively. Also new items can boast of fingerprint scanners and a dedicated chip for TPM 2.0 encryption.
As for the new second-generation ThinkPad X1 Extreme, it differs from its first-generation predecessor with a fresher and more productive hardware component. This 15-inch laptop is equipped with the new ninth-generation Intel Core H-series (Coffee Lake-H Refresh) processors, up to eight-core Core i9. Also, the new version of the ThinkPad X1 Extreme will offer a discrete graphics card GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q.
The amount of RAM in the maximum configuration of the second generation ThinkPad X1 Extreme will be 64 GB, and up to two solid-state drives with a total capacity of up to 4 TB will be provided for data storage. The display is built on a 15,6-inch IPS panel with a resolution of 1920 Γ 1080 pixels as standard, and an OLED panel with a resolution of 3840 Γ 2160 pixels is offered as an option.
