Lenovo unveils new ThinkPad X1 portfolio
DUBAI, April 12, 2016
Lenovo has unveiled its newly expanded and highly innovative X1 portfolio at an event held in Downtown Dubai, UAE.
Designed for forward thinkers, the series includes new additions such as the adaptable ThinkPad X1 Tablet with its unique modular design; the immersive ThinkPad X1 Yoga with the first OLED display; and the award-winning ThinkPad X1 Carbon is even thinner and lighter, strengthening its superiority in the ultrabook market, said a statement.
The modular design of the ThinkPad X1 Tablet adds functionality through simple clip-on optional modules.
The full size ThinkPad keyboard with the iconic TrackPoint has three adjustable typing angles and recreates the classic ThinkPad keystroke feel. Keyboard and tablet together weigh just one kilo for an ultra-light laptop experience.
Meanwhile, it is the first Windows tablet with LTE Advanced support for superfast connectivity from virtually anywhere.
The ThinkPad X1 Tablet also features a removable rear panel for serviceability and upgrades.
ThinkPad X1 Yoga is thin at just 0.66 inches and light at only 1.3 kilos. It is also the world’s first convertible featuring an optional Samsung OLED display that reproduces beautifully rich colors and deeper blacks.
With a patented lift and lock keyboard that retracts keys in tablet mode, X1 Yoga also features an active pen that is perfect for highlighting and writing notes directly on webpages using the Microsoft Edge browser.
The pen is also housed and charged inside the system so it won’t get lost.
Meanwhile, the ThinkCentre X1 AIO offers a superlative design within an ultra-thin 11mm frame giving one of the world’s thinnest desktops. The premium anti-glare display offers a bright picture from any angle on its 23.8inch screen and despite the incredibly thin chassis, the ThinkCentre X1 is built tough.
Designed to withstand dust build up, a common cause of hardware failure with desktop PCs, the all-in-one has been tested for eight hours in a dust chamber, replicating ten years in an office environment.
The 7.5mm ultra-slim ThinkVision X1, is the world’s first monitor to receive the TUV Eye-Comfort certification.
Featuring a 27-inch UltraHD edge-to-edge anti-glare display, the ThinkVision X1 includes rich connectivity options such as a USB type C port, providing the perfect complement to the ThinkPad X1 Tablet.
Mohammed Hilili, general manager at Lenovo Gulf and Saudi Arabia, said: “Today’s progressive customers are open-minded, energetic and enthusiastic tech influencers who seek technology that will help push the boundaries.
"Our expanded X1 family stays true to the ThinkPad’s heritage and has been designed and engineered for these forward thinkers. The new products will help professionals embrace cloud computing, mobility and security to build companies of tomorrow." - TradeArabia News Service
