Lenovo launches laptop made from food at the MWC 2023
Lenovo’s flaxseed fibre laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad Z13
The Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 gained a lot of attention at the MWC 2023 for its food-derived display lid cover. The Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 uses a wood-like finish for the top of its display lid. This has been manufactured using flaxseed fibre and makes each top unique to each individual laptop. The company is also aiming to replace its plastic outer packaging in favour of bamboo fibre bags and paper-based moulds as part of its green initiatives.
The ThinkPad Z13 and ThinkPad Z16 in their second generation now are oriented towards business users and are equipped with AMD Ryzen 7000 processors. The ThinkPad Z16 misses out on the flaxseed top.
Lenovo ThinkPad X and T series
The Lenovo ThinkPad X lineup, now in its fourth generation, comes as the ThinkPad X13 and X13 Yoga and offers 2-in-1 form factors. The ThinkPad X13 series gets AMD CPUs while the Yoga gets Intel-sourced SoCs. Lenovo has also launched the ThinkPad T14 (generation 4), ThinkPad T14s (generation 4), and T16 (generation 2) are business-oriented laptops and are workhorses in a sense. These are powered by 3rd gen Intel processors or AMD Ryzen 7000-series processors.
Lenovo ThinkPad L and E series
The Lenovo ThinkPad L series comprises the ThinkPad L13, L13 Yoga, L14 Yoga, L15, and L15 Yoga (generation 4), all of which are consumer centric but pack in the latest Intel or AMD mobile CPUs for delivering high performance. For users looking for a higher resolution display, the ThinkPad E series which consists of the ThinkPad E14 (generation 4) and E16 laptops are a good bet. These come fitted with up to a WQXGA IPS panel (2,560 x 1,600) and are powered by the latest Intel or AMD processors.
Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook
The new Chromebook from Lenovo is called the IdeaPad Slim 3 and is in its 8th generation. The device has been upgraded substantially and now gets a brighter display, a larger battery at 47Wh, and a new 5MP webcam with a privacy shutter, top-firing speakers and Wi-Fi 6 support. It comes in two colour options, Cloud Gray and Abyss Blue.
Lenovo ultra-portable laptops
Lenovo has also launched the IdeaPad Duet 3i which is in its 8th generation and is an extremely portable laptop that gets a detachable keyboard. Lenovo has launched a new mini desktop called the ThinkCentre TIO (generation 5). The device is available in 21.5-inch or 23.8-inch display sizes with 16:9 aspect ratios and optional touchscreen support.
