Lenovo launches a first set of commercial laptops following the Project Athena program making part of the ThinkPad range-- the X1 Carbon, X1 Yoga convertible, the premium X390 and T490 and more affordable L13 and L13 Yoga.
All the ThinkPad laptops feature ThinkShield security, with multi-factor Windows Hello authentication and a hybrid HD+IR camera keeping the screen safe from prying eyes, as well as premium usability through HD displays, immersive Dolby Audio and the ThinkPad keyboard. Select models also offer LTE-A Wireless WAN and Wifi 6 connectivity, together with 10th generation Intel Core CPUs and all-day battery life.
The X1 Carbon is the flagship ThinkPad offering, featuring up to a 6-core 10th gen Intel Core CPU, Wifi 6 and Thunderbolt 3 for on-the-go productivity. It features a 14-inch display in a choice of configurations, including 500 nit brightness, 10-bit colour and a 4K Dolby Vision enabled or a brighter 400 nit FHD display. Lenovo promises up to 18.5 hours of battery life on a single charge, with Rapd Charge delivering 80% battery in just 1 hour. Audio comes through Dolby Atmos speakers, while four far-field microphones enhance the conferencing experience.
Customers wanting a hybrid notebook get the 4th generation X1 Yoga featuring a reinforced "Iron Grey" aluminium chassis weighing less than 1.4kg. It carries up to a 6-core 10th gen Intel Core CPU and supports all docking solutions, including the ThinkPad Mechanical Dock. An integrated ThinkPad Pen Pro allows for stylus input, and battery life clocks at 18.3 hours.
The T490 and X390 are upgrades featuring up to 10th gen Core i7 processors within a design essentially identical to the previous versions, as are the updated 13-inch L series notebooks.
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon and X1 Yoga are available from September 2019, with the other notebooks to follow on October 2019.
