Lenovo’s bread and butter in the business world has always been its ThinkPad laptops, and it’s announcing a few new options at Mobile World Congress, including the ThinkPad T14s and ThinkPad X13 Gen 6, as well as the new ThinkBook 16p Gen 6 and a ThinkBook 3D laptop concept. The company is also announcing a new Legion gaming monitor that comes with a hybrid 3D display.
Additionally, Lenovo officially unveiled a few more concept devices, including the Magic Bay Dual Display that leaked last month. There are two more display concepts in this family, too – The Magic Bay 2nd Display and the Magic Bay Tiko. The Magic Bay 2nd Display is an 8-inch concept display that can be used as a secondary screen. It has built-in AI capabilities for enhancing productivity. The Magic Bay Tiko is an “AI interaction companion” that Lenovo says displays real-time emoji-style status as well as interactive gesture-based responses.
There’s a “Pro” version of this as well, which is a dedicated AI-powered display for providing a real-time widget interface to the user. It’s designed for working professionals to help them manage multiple workflows, the company says.
The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s is the first convertible laptop in the T series
ThinkPad laptops have been around for a long time. Up until now, however, Lenovo has never released one in the T series with a convertible design. The Lenovo ThinkPad T14s is the first convertible laptop in this series, providing working professionals with new ways to tackle their daily tasks.
It has a 360-degree dual hinge with four modes, including tent, stand, and tablet modes in addition to the standard laptop mode. It also supports the use of Lenovo’s latest Yoga pen for precise annotation, handwriting, and more. This pen can attach to the laptop magnetically so it doesn’t get lost, too. The pen is optional, though, and doesn’t come with the laptop.
Lenovo says it comes in two different variations. One with a 500-nit low-power touch display and one with a 400-nit WUXGA touch display. The latter is intended to deliver better power efficiency and longer-lasting battery life. Making it the ideal option for people who might be away from a power source for longer periods of time during the day. The ThinkPad T14s 2-in-1 launches in June at a starting price of $1,719. The non-2-in-1 model starts at $1,674 and launches the same month.
The ThinkPad X13 Gen 6 offers a more portable solution
For those concerned with portability, Lenovo’s new ThinkPad X13 Gen 6 offers a lightweight solution to carrying around a laptop all day. It weighs just over 2 pounds, making it incredibly lightweight. The display is also just 13.3 inches. So it won’t take up a ton of space in your bag, Another design decision that makes this the go-to choice for people who need to constantly mobile on a daily basis.
It’s powered by AMD’s Ryzen AI Pro series processors and can come with up to 64GB of RAM. Additionally, it can come with up to 2TB of storage. It has Wi-Fi 7 support and 5G connectivity support as well. So you can stay connected whether you’re in the office or out in the field.
Lenovo plans to start shipping this laptop in June. Price-wise, it starts at $1,139. Alongside the two laptops, Lenovo plans to launch the ThinkPad T14 and T16 in May at prices of $1,359 and $1,623, respectively.
Lenovo’s concept gaming monitor displays 2D and 3D images at the same time
3D monitors aren’t exactly new, but Lenovo isn’t just displaying any old 3D monitor. At Mobile World Congress today, the company is showcasing a concept Legion 3D gaming monitor. It’s capable of displaying both 2D and 3D imagery at the same time. Lenovo says this can happen without any loss in resolution quality. What’s more, the tech is glasses-free. The monitor is ultrawide and comes with a 34-inch curved panel. However, this is just a proof of concept.
That means there’s a chance Lenovo actually ends up making a monitor like this to sell. That would be a shame since it’s an exciting idea in the world of gaming monitors. Lenovo is packing some similar technology into a concept ThinkBook laptop. The difference is that the display on this concept laptop doesn’t show 2D and 3D images at the same time. Instead, you can swap between those modes at your leisure.
For example, maybe you want regular 2D images when you’re working. Then, when you’re done with work, you can kick things over to 3D for movies or games.
