Lenovo’s range of technology continues to expand, following the announcement of several new products at IFA 2022, including plenty of portable technology and a pair of smart glasses.
As the foldable technology trend gains traction, Lenovo revealed its second-generation ThinkPad X1 Fold, a foldable PC with a 16.3-inch OLED display. The versatile device can be used in various configurations such as a standalone tablet, folded to provide a 12-inch display and touchscreen keyboard, or paired with a keyboard for a traditional laptop experience.
The ThinkPad X1 Fold includes a 12th Gen Intel i7 chipset, 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM, a terabyte of internal storage, and an integrated Iris Xe GPU. Local pricing and availability details will be announced soon.
Alongside the foldable PC was the announcement of new tablet and Chromebook devices. Targeted as a multimedia device for the whole family, the IdeaPad 5i Chromebook is the first 16-inch Lenovo laptop device operating on Chrome OS. It features a borderless 2.5K 120Hz display for smooth visuals when watching media.
Additionally, Lenovo revealed 2nd Gen versions of the Tab P11 and Tab P11 Pro tablets. Both devices run on Android and are suited to different users. For users who need more power from a tablet, the Lenovo Tab P11 Pro has an 11.2-inch 120Hz OLED touchscreen with up to 8GB of RAM, while the base Tab P11 employs an 11.5-inch LCD screen with up to 6GB of RAM. Currently, only the Tab P11 has local release details, with a release date of October and pricing starting at $549.
Further announcements include a range of devices aimed at the hybrid workforce. Several new ThinkBook laptops are out now, led by the powerful ThinkBook 6p Gen 3, which starts at $5,059. In return, the laptop can house as much as an AMD Ryzen 96000H-series processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU, 32GB of RAM, and 2TB of dual SSD storage.
Lenovo also showed off various ThinkVision monitors, including the 31.5-inch 4K ThinkVision T32p-30 display, and the ThinkVision T34w-30 34-inch curved WQHD (3440 x 1440) display. Although the ThinkVision monitors don’t yet have local release details, the Lenovo Legion Y32p-30 Gaming Monitor, a 31.5-inch 4K 144Hz display, is expected to launch in early 2023 starting at $1,899.
A surprise announcement came in the form of the Lenovo Glasses T1, a pair of smart glasses made to bring media directly to your eyes. Each eye sees content in 1920 x 1080 resolution at 60Hz via micro-OLED technology.
Compatible with mobile devices and laptops, the Lenovo Glasses T1 will let users view media on the equivalent of a larger display than the source, while offering privacy when working with sensitive information in public. Pricing and availability are yet to be confirmed, but it won’t be until 2023 at the earliest.
