At MWV 2024, Lenovo unveiled a range of new business laptops and hybrids, introducing updates to both the ThinkPad T-series and the ThinkBook line. Termed "AI PCs" by the company, these devices are distinguished by a dedicated Microsoft Copilot button, granting users instant access to the digital assistant.
Among the newly announced models are the ThinkPad T14 Gen 5, ThinkPad T16 Gen 3, ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2, and ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 4. Powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra processors, a standard feature in new Lenovo computers, these devices promise enhanced performance and efficiency.
The ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2 showcases a robust 3:2 display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass, driven by an Intel Core Ultra U processor. Offering up to 32GB of RAM for seamless multitasking, this tablet/laptop hybrid features a detachable backlit folio keyboard with a three-button TrackPad, along with front-facing and rear-facing cameras for versatile usage.
