ThinkPad X1, ThinkVision, and Lenovo Go power hybrid work

The ThinkPad brand’s evolution continues to set benchmarks for durability, productivity, performance, and user experience, Lenovo said. The focus is now on hardware and software design as well as engineering to support Lenovo’s net-zero vision.

The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11, ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 8, and ThinkPad X1 Nano Gen 3 all feature recycled materials in selected components:

- ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 includes 90% recycled magnesium in the palm rest and 55% recycled aluminum on its bottom cover

- ThinkPad X1 Nano Gen 3 features 90% recycled magnesium in the palm rest and bottom cover

Furthermore, the retail packaging is made from 100% bamboo and sugarcane fibre, while the brown box packaging is made from plastic-free packaging with 90% recycled and/or FSC-certified content. The new ThinkPad X1s include post consumer content (PCC) plastic in select components2.

All ThinkPad laptops also qualify for Lenovo’s CO2 Offset Service.

In addition to increased use of recycled materials, Lenovo’s energy efficiency efforts also extend to the use of its products. The new Lenovo Commercial Vantage application further demonstrates the company’s investments in helping businesses manage their carbon footprint. The software aims to guide and encourage users to enable settings that are designed to help reduce power consumption or extend component lifespan. The appropriate features include clearly-identified labels and information to help users select their preferred configuration. Efficiency labels can extend to:

- Computer Vision3 Human Presence Detection, which can reduce energy consumption through a zero touch lock function

- OLED settings on OLED-equipped models can also reduce energy consumption and extend the lifespan of the display

- Smart Charge can help extend the lifespan of the battery through setting charge thresholds

- Switching off the keyboard backlight can reduce power use

The Lenovo View application has intelligent camera-based features designed to enhance video call experiences and improve security and digital health. Feature highlights include:

- Privacy Guard4 and Privacy Alert features activate a privacy blur or show the privacy icon when an unauthorised onlooker’s face is detected viewing the laptop screen. 

- Posture warning and eye wellness reminders help with digital wellness. 

- Collaboration features like auto-framing, background concealment, and virtual presenter upgrade on-camera calls to make the presenter front and centre, and help all participants be part of the conversation, even in a virtual or hybrid environment.

- Artificial intelligence (AI) improvements to the video enhancer algorithm boost the image quality of the integrated webcam in any lighting environment – even in darker rooms.

The latest line of ThinkVision monitors leads with the ultra-bright ThinkVision P27pz-30 and P32pz-30 mini-LED displays, followed by ThinkVision’s new T-series VOIP monitors built for hybrid work. 

Lenovo also introduced professional-grade 4K ThinkVision P-series monitors and value-conscious Lenovo L-series monitors. New Lenovo accessories include the Lenovo Go Desk Station, Lenovo Go 4K Pro Webcam, and Lenovo Professional Wireless Rechargeable Combo Keyboard and Mouse.
