Earlier this month, Lenovo introduced new desktops and laptops under its ThinkSeries to address the needs of next-generation Small and Medium Businesses(SMBs). The new devices allow the brand to offer a more comprehensive selection of computing solutions to keep up with the technological demands of hybrid workplaces. The new devices are from the ThinkCentre, ThinkPad, and ThinkBook line.
ThinkCentre Neo Series
The ThinkCentre Neo is Lenovo’s All-In-One PC Solution line-up with a stylish and minimalist design. The three new neo models now come with the latest 12th Generation Intel Core processors. The ThinkCentre 50s is a small form factor desktop in a space-saving 7.4L package made with recycled ocean-bound plastic with raw materials that are painting-free for an environmentally friendly design. The ThinkCentre Neo 50t is a tower equipped with 12th Generation Intel Core processors paired with many connectivity options ideal for your growing business. If you need a small AIO, then the ThinkCentre neo 30a 22 gives you the power of a desktop without consuming that much of space of a typical desktop. If you need a slightly larger AIO, there’s also a ThinkCentre neo 30a 24 for a 23.8-inch FHD display equipped with Harman audio and a retractable webcam. The ThinkCentre neo 30a 24 also comes with an AI Meeting Manager that offers Real-Time Translator, Voice to Text, Subtitles, Meeting Notes, and Amazon Alexa integration.
Thinkpad X1 Carbon

Select Thinkpad X1 models come with a Neural Processor Unit(NPU) that generates metadata from the integrated camera based on AI algorithm modeling. The NPU allows for a smarter Human Presence Detection that recognizes humans and their intention to use the laptop. This allows the ThinkPad X1 to only wake up when and unlock once the laptop detects a user as opposed to a passing person in the office or a cat. Moreever, the Thinkpad X1 Carbon has a 15-hour battery life with RapidCharge technology support making it a very convenient laptop for travel paired with a light build at less than 1.13 kg.
