Lenovo Unveils Next-Gen ThinkBook With 17.3" Transparent Display & 1000 Nits Brightness, Loads of AMD & Intel Designs 1

Lenovo has showcased its brand new ThinkBook notebook which features a 17.3" transparent display with 1000 nits of brightness. Besides the new design, the company has also shared its ThinkPad & ThinkBook designs featuring the latest AMD & Intel CPUs.

We first talked about the Lenovo ThinkBook a few weeks back since it was already leaked ahead of its unveiling but today, Lenovo provides some additional details such as the use of a 17.3" Micro-LED panel which will provide 1000 nits of brightness with high color saturation and high contrast. The edge-less design is said to provide a very immersive viewing experience while the dual-touch display will allow users to seamlessly switch between the keyboard & drawing board with a digital pen.

On the other hand, we have the Lenovo ThinkPad series which includes the T14/Gen5, T14s/Gen5, T16 Gen3, X12/Gen2, & the 14 2-in-1/Gen4. These notebooks will be utilizing Intel's Core Ultra CPUs with vPro (on select models). On the productivity side, Lenovo will be unleashing its new ThinkPad T-Series which comes equipped with AMD's Ryzen 8040 "Hawk Point" & Intel Core Ultra CPUs. A few highlights of this lineup include:

Double tapping the TrackPoint opens the TrackPoint Quick Menu allowing users to customize common features such as microphone or camera settings.

Lenovo View application, which runs on the Intel Core Ultra NPU to save processor load, provides video enhancing tools for the camera including a new Low Light Enhancer that can brighten and denoise video in low light environments.

3M Optical Film solution is available on optional WUXGA displays on ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 and T14s Gen 5. The embedded optical film increases the brightness of the display from 300 nits to 400 nits while using up to 16% less power4, thereby reducing energy consumption.

New ThinkPad T14 and T16 designs integrate enhanced repairability features.

New ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 will also be available powered by AMD Ryzen 8040 series processors with built-in AMD Ryzen AI, giving customers a broader choice of high-performance CPUs.
