Lenovo has announced a number of updates to its ThinkPad series. We get upgrades to the lightweight ThinkPad X13 and the convertible X13 Yoga, as well as the top T-series, the budget-oriented L-series and the P-series mobile workstations.
The biggest news is that all of these models had specifications. Each series includes models with AMD’s Ryzen 5000 mobile processors as well as Intel’s 11th generation vPro chips. They also get connectivity upgrades, including some options for Wi-Fi 6E on the Intel systems and Wi-Fi 6 for the AMD units. Some models also support 5G.
The news that I am personally very excited about is that the X13 i (Intel), X13 (AMD) and X13 Yoga (Intel) get 16:10 screens. Producers generally switched to higher screens for business and productivity notebooks. It gives you more space for multitasking and you no longer have to browse and zoom out. There’s also a new Dolby Audio speaker system with user – facing speakers on the X13 – on previous models they were at the bottom.
The updated T-series (including the T14s i, T14 i and T15 with Intel and the T14s and T14 with AMD), L-series (including the L14 and L15 with AMD and the L14 i and L15 i with Intel), and the P series (including the P14s, P14s i and P15s) also contains the new chips. The models also have new security options, including Match-on-Chip fingerprint readers; some Intel systems, including the T14s i and X13 i, have human presence detection sensors.

Prices and availability are a bit confusing, just carry me. Most Intel models appear to arrive in March, while the AMD models arrive in May. The X13 Yoga is the exception – it comes in April. The T-Series starts at $ 1,159 (for the T14), the L-Series starts at $ 689 (for both models), and the P-Series starts at $ 1.3169 (for the P14s). The X13 starts at $ 1,139 (for the AMD model) and the X13 Yoga starts at $ 1,379.
