Plus, 16:10 across the board.
Lenovo has dumped a whole bunch of new ThinkPads into the world, and there’s some exciting stuff in there. We’re getting a brand-new ThinkPad X13s powered by Snapdragon chips, a fifth-generation ThinkPad X1 Extreme with a WQXGA 165Hz screen option, and new additions to the P-series and T-series as well.
The news I’m personally most excited about is the screen shape. A few months ago, Lenovo told me that much of its portfolio would be moving to the 16:10 aspect ratio this year. They appear to be keeping their word. Across the board, the new models are 16:10 — taller and roomier than they were in their 16:9 eras.
Some news that’s a bit more... intriguing is the all-new ThinkPad X13s, which is the first laptop to feature the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 compute platform. Qualcomm made some lofty claims about this platform upon its release, including “60 percent greater performance per watt” over competing x86 platforms and “multi-day battery life.” The company has touted AI improvements as well, including better autofocus, auto-white balance, and auto-exposure in video calls.
Processor aside, the X13’s big calling card is portability. At 2.35 pounds , it’s not quite comparable to the lightest ThinkPads we’ve ever seen, but it’s still quite light for a laptop. It was quite easy to carry around Lenovo’s demo area with one hand. There’s no fan , but Snapdragon chips are designed to be quite efficient in the absence of heavy-duty cooling.
Various parts of the chassis also include recycled materials, including the top and bottom covers, which are 90 percent recycled magnesium. This didn’t have a material impact on build quality that I observed in my brief time with the X13s — it felt as sturdy and well-built as any portable ThinkPad.The big news on the workstation front is the ThinkPad X1 Extreme. This powerful multimedia machine has been bumped up to Intel’s 12th Gen Core i9 H-series processors supporting Intel’s vPro platform.
