The ThinkPad series line of business laptops was first introduced almost 30 years ago, by IBM in 1992. The ThinkPad brand was then acquired by Lenovo in 2005 and the ThinkPad laptops since have all been designed, developed and marketed under the Lenovo company.

After years of annually consistent ThinkPad laptops releases, Lenovo is looking to shake up the ThinkPad family, specifically its T-series, with a new sibling, the Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 1.

The Lenovo ThinkPad T16 Gen 1 is the company’s first-ever 16-inch business laptop in the ThinkPad T series and is replacing Lenovo’s former ThinkPad T15 lineup of big-screen business laptops. With its debut, the ThinkPad T16 comes with a newer design language compared to the former 2021 ThinkPads.

Let’s start off with the screens. The ThinkPad T16 comes with a 16-inch IPS LCD panel that has a more modern aspect ratio of 16:10, compared to the 16:9 aspect ratios of the ThinkPads released prior to 2021. The 16-inch display can be configured up to a resolution of 2.5K, peak brightness of 500 nits, 100% coverage of the sRGB colourspace and optional touchscreen support.

For the AMD Model, buyers are able to configure their ThinkPad T16 to be equipped with up to 32GB of LPDDR5 6400MHz of RAM, and 2TB of PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage with a Ryzen 7 PRO 6000 series CPU onboard.

On the battery front, the laptop is available in 52.5Wh or 86Wh options, with an included fast charging adapter in the box for the laptop. The laptop can charge up to 135W if buyers opt for the higher 86Wh Intel configuration.

For connectivity, users need not concern as Lenovo has equipped the ThinkPad T16 with a WiFi 6E module onboard, Bluetooth 5.2, and optional LTE support for those business users who are always on the go. Coming to ports, the ThinkPad T16 is equipped with 2 USB-C ports, 2 USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one HDMI 2.0b port, an RJ45 port, one 3.5mm headphone jack and an optional SIM card slot for those who opt for the LTE model.

If buyers opt for the Intel model, the USB-C ports will be certified Thunderbolt 4 compliant, whereas for buyers who opted for the AMD model, the USB-C ports will be certified USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 compliant.

The landing pages for the ThinkPad T16 Intel and T16 AMD, have gone live. These laptops have been listed on Lenovo’s North America, Europe, and Asia official websites.

However, the biggest upgrade for the X1 Carbon Gen 10 is the display. Lenovo had added a new OLED display option for the X1 Carbon, making it the first-ever ThinkPad to sport an OLED display. The display is a 14-inch 2.8K (2880 x 1800) OLED display. It can go up to 400 nits of brightness and cover 100% of the DCI P3 colour gamut.

As for ports, the X1 Carbon has 2 USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports, 2 USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one HDMI 2.0b port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The laptop is powered by a 57Wh battery with support for 65W USB-PD Rapid Charging.

ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 7

The ThinkPad X1 Yoga possesses many identical specs to the X1 Carbon. The only major differentiator here is that it is a “Yoga” laptop. The X1 Yoga is a 2-in-1 business convertible laptop that allows the users to switch from laptop to tablet to tent mode in under a minute. Whether you want to sketch or sign a document on the go, the X1 Yoga has an included Lenovo stylus that can always accommodate your workflow.

Lenovo is expected to bring the Intel 12th Gen Thinkpad X1 Carbon and X1 Yoga to more markets soon later in the year as well, which includes markets like the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, East Asia and South Asia.

As more and more ultrabooks are launched in China bearing Intel’s latest 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs, it was about time for laptop manufacturers to bring their Intel 12th Gen laptops to the global market.

After months of waiting, today, Lenovo has finally taken the initiative to launch its first Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake ultrabook in the global market, the Lenovo Thinkbook 14 Gen 4+. The Lenovo Thinkbook 14 Gen 4+ was officially announced in Malaysia today and is now available for purchase starting from only RM4239 (999 USD).

If the design of the ultrabook looks familiar, then your instinct serves you correct as this laptop was actually launched in China earlier in March 2022 bearing the model name, Lenovo ThinkBook 14+ instead. However, the global variant(Lenovo ThinkBook 14 Gen 4+) has more customisation options compared to the China variant.

Let’s start with the processors under the hood. Compared to the 2 options available on the China variant, the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 Gen 4+ is configurable with 6 Intel 12th Gen CPU options, namely the Core i5-1235U (15W), i5-1240P (28W), i5-12500H (45W), i7-1255U (15W), i7-1260P (28W), and the i7-12700H (45W).

To facilitate a more efficient work environment, the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 Gen 4+ is also equipped with the latest LDDR5 RAM(8GB/16GB/32GB options) and with optional WiFi 6E support to keep your workflow smooth and fast. The ultrabook is also configurable to include an RTX 2050 graphics card onboard for those who want to do gaming in their free time.

Moving onto the screen, the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 Gen 4+ is a noticeable upgrade from its predecessor as it can now be equipped with a 14 inch 16:10, up to 400 nits, 90Hz, 100% sRGB, 2.8K (2880 × 1800) IPS Display. As for the front-facing webcam, users now have the option to opt for a 1080p webcam for better video calls as well.

As for the battery, the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 Gen 4+ is equipped with 47Wh and 62Wh battery options for buyers to select. The laptop supports up to 100W USB-C fast charging and comes with Windows 11 Home preinstalled on the device.

Last but not least is the build. Lenovo claims the ultrabook is easily portable as it starts at just 1.50kg and is 15.9mm thin. On the durability front, buyers will be glad to know that the ThinkBook 14 Gen 4+ features solid and robust aluminium build. The laptop is equipped with dual fans and support for Intelligent cooling to help prevent the laptop from overheating.

Despite its relatively thin and light chassis, the Lenovo ThinkBook 14 Gen 4+ includes a wide variety of port selections which include one USB-C Thunderbolt 4 port, one USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 (full-function: USB/DP/PD), two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one USB 2.0 port, one HDMI 2.0 port, one RJ45 port, a 3-in-1 Micro SD card reader (SD/SDHC/SDXC), and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The Lenovo ThinkBook 14 Gen 4+ is now available for purchase in Malaysia and starts at RM4239 (999 USD) for the base models. Lenovo is slated to announce the laptop in more global markets soon.

Besides the Nintendo Switch and gaming on smartphones, the concept of gaming on the go has always fascinated gamers and tech enthusiasts alike. In recent years, technology has now made it possible to play PC games via a new category of tech, called “gaming handhelds” that are equipped with laptop processors and can run PC games but are in a smartphone-tablet-like form factor for portability.

GPD, the Shenzhen-based startup in the gaming handheld market, is known for its best-sellers such as its GPD Win 3, and GPD Win Max. However, both models were released quite some time ago and since then, a fierce competitor has arrived on the scene, the Steam Deck. Thus in 2022, GPD has decided to announce the GPD Win Max 2, a 14-Core Intel Alder Lake Windows gaming handheld beast that is looking to shake the industry.

In its official announcement post today, GPD reveals that the Win Max 2 is featuring a 10-inch 1920×1200 Full HD or a 2560×1600 QHD display, a major leap in the industry considering its predecessor, the Win Max, only had an 8-inch with 1280×800 pixels.  

Despite the increase in screen size, the dimensions of the Win Max 2 are only jumping from 207 × 145mm to 228 x 160mm. GPD mentions that they were able to keep the device compact with much slimmer bezels on all sides. GPD has also shared an official sketch of the device. However, the sketch only shows off a very simplified build of the device, without the keyboard, colours or gamepad of the device. GPD mentions that they will be revealing more details of the device nearer when it’s ready for launch.

Under the hood, the GPD Win Max 2 is a handheld gaming powerhouse. It is equipped with Intel’s 12th Gen Core i7-1280P, which features 14 cores and 20 threads in a compact form factor. The CPU boosts up to 4.80 GHz, has 24MB Smart Cache, and eats between 20 and 64 watts. The device is also configurable with up to 32GB RAM, up to 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD in one of the two M.2 slots. 

Compared to its main rival, the Steam Deck which only maxes out at 512GB with a Zen 2 AMD processor, the GPD Win Max 2 may take over Valve’s throne soon.

The device is also juiced with a 65Wh battery, a surround sound quad-speaker setup, one Thunderbolt 4 port, 3x USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, a built-in webcam, and a QWERTY keyboard with backlight. Price and availability have not been announced yet by GPD, but we expect GPD to share more details about the device soon by the end of 2022.
