Just like last year, Lenovo took to CES to demo all of their upcoming products for the year. We have already previewed their phones, now it’s time to take a look at what is in-store on the computer side of things from them.
Let’s start things with the ThinkPad X1 Carbon. Lenovo is calling this year’s update the “lightest 14 inch Ultrabook in the World”. The new ultrabook comes in at an impressive 2.8lbs and is considered one of the most durable computers on the planet. Lenovo built the entire computer out of carbon fiber (hence the name), which is lighter and stronger than your standard computer bodies made from aluminium and magnesium. The X1 also features an adaptive keyboard with voice and gesture controls, a beautiful touch screen display, and an impressive 9 hours of battery life with quick charge technology that will get you to an 80% charge in under an hour.
Next up we have the ThinkPad 8. This is an 8 inch tablet that lets you get the full computer experience on the go. Versatility is the tablet’s greatest strength as it allows you to use it however you need. It can be used as just a tablet, or it can be attached to a keyboard and used as an ultrabook, or finally, you can add a monitor to the combination and use it in desktop mode. The ThinkPad also includes features like MiraCast, an Intel Bay Trail processor, up to 128GB of storage, and the option for LTE connectivity.
Not to be left of of the party, Lenovo’s Yoga line makes an appearance this year as well with 2 new laptops. The Y40 and Y50 offer potential users customization options in just about every category, while still giving you the flexibility the line made famous last year. Users will be able to pick displays up to 4K, touchscreen options in every size, 4th gen Intel i7 processors, Dolby certified audio enhancements, and up to 512 SSD (regular HDD are available as well).
For those of you looking for the all-in-one desktop experience, Lenovo, hasn’t forgotten about you. The C560 is a 23 inch LED all-in-one that offers enough options to meet the entire family’s needs. It comes in white and black and features Dolby speakers , up to 2TB of storage, the option for multi touch capabilities and all the right add ons to make it a great media or gaming PC. It also features “tool-free” expandability for easy harddrive and memory upgrades.
Of course the most important thing everyone wants to know about all of these is when can you get them and how much will they be. The Carbon X1 will be available late January starting at $1299. The ThinkPad 8 will be available late January as well and is made to order starting at $399. The Yoga laptops will be available in May 2014 starting at $999. The C560 will be available beginning in February for $659.
