ThinkPad Portfolio Increases Focus on Circular Economy

Lenovo is committed to creating sustainable products and investing in a resilient global supply chain. To achieve this, its design and engineering teams dedicate countless hours to researching innovations in manufacturing, materials, energy efficiency, servicing, and packaging. The company strives to reduce carbon emissions by increasing the use of sustainable aviation fuel and biofuels for shipping, adopting energy-efficient manufacturing processes, and installing renewable energy in its factories.

Lenovo also empowers its customers to achieve their sustainability goals by offering services such as CO2 Offset Service, which has already offset over one million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide from purchases of Think PCs. Its Asset Recovery Service has also been helping customers dispose of end-of-life technology hardware sustainably for the past 15 years.

The latest update to the ThinkPad portfolio features new and updated models that enhance Lenovo’s comprehensive laptop offerings. The company’s focus on supporting a circular economy is reflected in the increased use of recycled materials and Post Consumer Content (PCC) plastic in select components. Lenovo aims to integrate post-consumer recycled content into 100% of its PC products by 2025. The following table summarizes Lenovo’s ongoing efforts to implement sustainable practices in its ThinkPad product design and packaging.

In addition, the recently launched Lenovo Commercial Vantage app in December 2022 will now be available on the latest ThinkPad Z, X13, T, and L series. With its user-friendly interface and informative labels, the Commercial Vantage software is designed to guide and motivate users to adopt specific settings that can help minimize power consumption and prolong the lifespan of their components.

These laptops feature a sleek thin and light form-factor and ultra-narrow bezels, making them visually appealing to a wider range of users. They also offer reliable Wi-Fi 6E3 and premium audio-visual experience with their FHD camera and Dolby Voice® enabled microphones, making them perfect for collaborative productivity, especially with a dispersed workforce.

Sustainability is now a priority, and the latest models feature more sustainable materials. The optional 5MP camera with Infrared enhances user experiences in video conferencing, a necessary feature in the hybrid working environment. To protect from eye strain, low blue light display options are available on all models, including the T14 Gen 4, T16 Gen 2, and T14s Gen 4, which also offer a 2.8k OLED panel option.

The ThinkPad L13 Gen 4 and L13 Yoga Gen 4 now offer a low blue light display option that consumes low power, making them more efficient when it comes to battery life.

Enhanced ThinkCentre TIO Gen 5 Monitor (22” & 24”) Provides Versatile All-in-One Flexibility

For a more versatile all-in-one experience, the Tiny-in-One (TIO) form factor has traditionally allowed for modularity, enabling a cable-less connection with various Tiny PCs and the ability to switch out components when needed so that the monitor and PC can be refreshed separately. Further enhancing the convenience factor, the latest generation of ThinkCentre TIO monitors are packed with user-driven features that address the needs of a more mobile and hybrid workforce.

The rear compartment has a rotating, vented door that covers and protects the PC unit, ensuring a clean, sleek look when viewed from behind. To provide additional security for the portable system, a dual Kensington Lock is included on the ThinkCentre TIO Gen 5, which secures both the monitor and the connected Tiny PC in place, making it ideal for unmonitored, public environments like libraries and tradeshow booths.

In this generation, the ThinkCentre TIO Gen 5 features a rear HDMI port and a DisplayPort that provide expanded compatibility with up to two additional external PCs, including laptops, tower workstations, or other desktops. The monitors in this product line also include the latest generational design updates recently announced for Lenovo’s ThinkVision™ T-series line of monitors.
