ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga
Not just a special edition of the normal X1 Yoga, the new ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is the thinnest ThinkPad ever produced at just 11mm Z-height. Weighing in at 1.15 kg, it is one of the lightest, making this new 13.5-inch laptop one of Lenovo’s most portable ThinkPads ever. Powered by the 11th generation Intel Core, to an i7 with vPro, and this business device will be much buzzed by offerings. With up to 16 GB of LPDDR4x memory and up to 1 TB of PCIe storage, the X1 Titanium Yoga should be more than enough for almost any business application.
Not just Titanium in name, this thin and light 2-in-1 laptop is actually stained in titanium, which gives the device a unique look and feel. The rotating feature has a 3: 2 aspect ratio with a 13.5-inch screen that works, and improves usability in laptop mode, as there is more vertical real estate, but it is also a much better convertible device to use by hand.
Lenovo claims up to 10.9 hours of battery life from the 44.5 Wh battery and the device charges more than USB-C thanks to the two Thunderbolt 4 ports. There is no USB Type-A available, so old devices must be plugged in with an adapter or through a dock.
Lenovo also offers Wi-Fi 6 and cellular connectivity with LTE and 5G options. There is an IR camera with a private shutter and a fingerprint reader.
The new Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is available this month starting at $ 1899.
ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9
One of the most popular ThinkPad designs is the X1 Carbon series, a traditional clamshell laptop, and for 2021 the laptop has been completely redesigned and now has a 16:10 aspect ratio, which means there is more vertical space. Lenovo has also added a wider trackpad and a larger battery. This Intel Evo design also offers Wi-Fi 6 and optional LTE or 5G connectivity.
Powered by the latest 11th generation Intel core processors, or Tiger Lake, the new ThinkPad X1 Carbon offers up to an i7 with vPro, up to 32 GB LPDDR4x-4266 RAM and up to 2 TB PCIe 4.0 storage. Coupled with the new Tiger Lake Iris Xe graphics, this 1.13 kg / 2.49 lb laptop offers a lot of performance in an elegant design.
The larger 57 Wh battery is rated for up to 16 hours of life, and the 65-watt Type-C charger supports Lenovo’s Rapid Charge technology to get back on track quickly.
The new 14:10 16-inch version offers several variations, with 100% P3 coverage and HDR 400 available. Lenovo is also improving the game in terms of communication, with Dolby Voice integrated, which uses dynamic leveling to automatically adjust for voice levels and ambient noise levels. The integrated HD webcam also has IR, and the laptop includes a fingerprint reader that also serves as a wake-up button.
The new ThinkPad X1 Carbon will be available in February from $ 1429 USD.
ThinkPad X1 Joga Gen 6
With many of the same features as the X1 Carbon, but with the added versatility of the 360 ° hinge yoga design, the ThinkPad X1 Yoga also gets a new chassis this year and 16:10 display support.
Many of the internal products are similar to the X1 Carbon, with the 11th generation Intel Evo offering up to an i7 with vPro, Intel Xe graphics and the same 32GB LPDDR4x-4266 and 2TB PCIe 4.0 storage. The battery capacity is the same, at 57 Wh, and it also includes Thunderbolt 4 for charging and data.
The big change is again the move to a 16:10 aspect ratio, which adds more vertical space. The X1 Yoga offers the same screen choices as the X1 Carbon, but Touch is available everywhere as it is a convertible laptop.
The X1 Yoga gives off weight on the X1 Carbon in exchange for more versatility with the Yoga hinge, and the starting weight is 1.39 kg. The aluminum laptop is offered in a stylish Storm Gray color.
