Lenovo unveiled five laptops with AMD processors and different price tags

The world of technology is having a busy day thanks to the IFA exhibition. With the introduction of Lunar Lake series processors, Intel goes to battle with AMD’s Ryzen AI 300 series processors and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X series. On the other hand, Qualcomm wants to reduce the price of laptops by introducing the octa-core version of Snapdragon X Plus.

Lenovo is one of the important players in the field of laptops, and at this year’s IFA exhibition, it introduced a wave of new laptops with AMD processors and artificial intelligence capabilities.

In June, Lenovo launched the ThinkPad T14s (6th generation) model with Snapdragon X Elite chip, which has the same specifications as the new version with AMD processor. Notable differences include more weight on the AMD model (1.29 kg compared to 1.23 kg) and some changes in ports, camera and display options.

Thinkpad with AMD chip uses Thunderbolt 4 port, two USB-A and HDMI 2.1 ports, 3.5 mm audio jack and SIM card port in models with 5G capability and supports Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3.

According to Lenovo’s official statement, the new generation ThinkPad T14s uses a five-megapixel webcam with an infrared sensor, a button to disable the webcam for higher security, and a fingerprint sensor.

As expected from ThinkPad laptops, an array of security features including Lenovo’s ThinkShield tool, Microsoft Pluton, Kensington lock and AMD security features with AI PRO chip are included for the ThinkPad T14s.

Lenovo does not mention anything more about the device’s hardware specifications except for the new AMD Ryzen AI PRO series chip. Considering the release date of the Lenovo laptop in October 2024, AMD will probably introduce its new chips in the coming weeks.

If the rumors are true, the Ryzen AI PRO series will be based on the Ryzen AI 300 series processors and will likely have the same Neural Processing Unit (NPU) as those chips.

Lenovo offers its new ThinkPad in two models with touch or non-touch LCD display with FHD+ resolution, maximum brightness of 400 nits and 100% sRGB color space coverage. The energy of the device is provided by a 58 watt-hour battery, which Lenovo claims can accompany the user for up to 17 hours.
