Lenovo’s Fresh Take on the ThinkBook Lineup
Just a couple of months after beefing up its productivity‑focused ThinkBook range in January, the company’s got two shiny new laptops ready to hit the shelves at MWC 2022.
The Freshest Additions
- ThinkBook 14s Yoga Gen 2 – a 2‑in‑1 that’s as slick as it is powerful.
- ThinkBook 13s Gen 4 i – a compact powerhouse for the go‑getters.
They’re not just looking pretty. Internally, both models ship with the brand‑new 12th Gen Intel Core processors, cap‑off to a Core i7 for the big‑wiggle version. That means faster multitasking, smoother video editing, and a whole lot of snazzy speed.
The Signature Two‑Tone Finish
ThinkBook’s won‑t‑be‑forgotten polish is still on point: a dual‑tone chassis that feels like it was hand‑painted by an art‑inspired engineer. It’s the little detail that says, “We’re serious, but we’ve also got personality.”
What Makes These Laptops Different…
Beyond the new engines and aesthetic upgrades, Lenovo’s given each model a distinct set of goodies aimed at different user personas:
- The Yoga Gen 2 triples on all angles with its flexible 360‑degree hinge, perfect for designers, writers, and anyone who enjoys a bit of flexibility.
- The 13s Gen 4 i keeps things lean and fast, geared for the ultra‑mobile crowd who still need that extra processing power when they’re at a café or on a train.
So whether you’re a creative, a business professional, or an on‑the‑go laptop nerd, Lenovo’s offering a little something that clicks with every vibe.
Bottom line?
Two fresh ThinkBook models, full of new tech, keep that signature look and bring a friendly, user‑centric twist—ready to fly into the new year’s gadget craze. Happy hunting!
