New ThinkPads are arriving
Unique ThinkPads are arriving

We procure questions about new ThinkPad fashions from Lenovo beautiful powerful daily. Here’s an elaborate about the planned evaluation devices for the subsequent couple of weeks. We inaugurate with the 2 new fashions X1 Carbon eighth Gen as successfully as X1 Yoga fifth Gen.

There can be hundreds of new ThinkPad fashions over the subsequent couple of weeks. Some fashions procure mountainous updates (care for the T-assortment with the T14s) and the AMD fashions with Ryzen 4000 CPUs can be fully constructed-in into the humble line-up for the first time. On the different hand, Intel fashions can be accessible first, and the AMD SKU will apply a pair of weeks later. The following article lists the planned evaluation devices for the subsequent couple of weeks, although there can be modifications reckoning on the open dates and availability, respectively.

ThinkPad X1 Carbon 8th Gen

Eagerly awaited, nonetheless most frequently correct minor updates: Lenovo would now not alternate the assemble of the 2 X1 fashions and finest equips them with up so far processor, although they were also accessible for the old generation since the foundation of 2020. On memoir of of the vPro reinforce, Lenovo makes use of Comet Lake-U CPUs from Intel and now not the Ice Lake chips with sooner iGPUs.

The provision is limited to SKUs with 1080p monitors real now; we soundless comprise to wait a bit for the now not important 4K fashions. Our test unit of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon is supplied with a Core i5 CPU, iGPU, LowPower 1080p show cover, 16 GB RAM, and 512 GB NVMe-SSD storage. Opposite to the numerous assortment, there seem like no AMD versions of the X1 merchandise.

ThinkPad X13 (Gen.1) also will be available with AMD Ryzen 4000

The smaller ThinkPad X13 and X13 Yoga also support the chassis assemble of the primitive X390 and finest procure up so far processors. They are over all over again Intel Comet Lake CPUs, nonetheless the X13 can even be accessible with AMD Ryzen 4000 CPUs a pair of weeks later, which promise a essential efficiency advantage over the Intel counterpart when it comes to CPU and GPU efficiency. Furthermore engrossing: Lenovo will offer the X13 with the 500-Nit ePrivacy show cover, which gives an constructed-in privateness filter. Our first test unit of the X13 can be equipped with the Intel processor, the AMD model will apply about 2 weeks later. The X13 Yoga on the numerous hand remains to be restricted to Intel processors, so this update is now not that engrossing.

ThinkPad T14s with Intel & AMD

The T-assortment merchandise are per chance primarily the most engrossing updates, due to Lenovo gives the plump bandwidth with Intel CPUs, Nvidia GPUs, as successfully as new Ryzen 4000 APUs from AMD. The Intel fashions are over all over again ahead when it comes to availability. Our test devices encompass the T14 with the Core i5, iGPU, and 1080p show cover, as successfully because the T15 with i7 CPU, MX330 GPU, and 4K panel. The instances are such as the primitive T490 and T590, respectively. We can over all over again comprise to anticipate about two weeks for the AMD counterparts, which can well be restricted to the constructed-in Vega GPUs. this might well well also be engrossing to note how AMD’s new APU holds up against the combo Intel/Nvidia.

The T14s on the numerous hand will get a fully redesigned chassis and is over all over again a step closer to the X1 Carbon. To boot to the Intel fashions, there can even be AMD counterparts, that will well also merely per chance be primarily the most engrossing fashions within the 2020 line-up. It’s possible you’ll well per chance hang between a 1080p show cover, the ePrivacy 1080p show cover as successfully as a 4K panel. We can inaugurate with an Intel test unit, adopted by the AMD mannequin a pair of weeks later.

The ThinkPad E15 Gen.2 with AMD CPU gets a more compact chassis.
The ThinkPad E15 Gen.2 with AMD CPU will get a more compact chassis.

The brand new ThinkPad E-assortment with Intel chips has already been accessible for a pair of months and now we comprise already reviewed the devices. We are soundless lacking the combo Intel/AMD for the smaller E14, nonetheless right here’s planned. The E14 & E15 Gen.2 can be accessible within the cessation of June. The case of the E14 as successfully because the characterize alternatives are identical, nonetheless the case of the E15 Gen. 2 is a bit more compact based on the reliable specs. We can comprise to wait and gaze how noticeable the adaptation in fact is.

ThinkPad L15 with Intel & AMD
ThinkPad L15 with Intel & AMD

The ThinkPad L14 & L15 are at characterize soundless restricted to Comet Lake CPUs, which we can evaluation quickly. Lenovo makes use of a fully new chassis assemble for its inexpensive work machine, which is a bit more compact in comparison with the old L490 and L590 generation, respectively. The AMD SKUs will over all over again apply a pair of weeks later, and we can clearly test them as successfully.

The cell workstations based on the T14 and T15 fashions finest procure a minor update with Comet Lake CPUs, the graphics card remains to be the Nvidia Quadro P520. There can be SKUs with hexa-core CPUs, nonetheless these fashions need to now not listed but. AMD versions need to now not planned, so these updates need to now not that engrossing and we can evaluation them after now we comprise reviewed the total new AMD fashions.

The brand new AMD fashions must comprise a noticeable efficiency advantage over the Intel counterparts. In consequence of the plump integration, there need to soundless now not be any differences when it comes to materials or aspects (which changed into once the case for some older merchandise) between the 2 chip manufacturers. If there need to now not any various issues with the implementation of the AMD APUs (care for vitality consumption), the AMD ThinkPads it might well actually be the higher different and in fact suppose Intel within the enterprise segment.

I grew up with computers and in model user electronics. I’m attracted to the technology since I had my first computer, a Commodore C64, and began building my very private PCs after that. My point of curiosity right here at Notebookcheck is the enterprise segment along side cell workstations, nonetheless I also wish to study new cell devices. It is repeatedly a grand experience to learn about and compare new merchandise. My free time is packed with quite a lot of sports, within the summertime mainly on my bike.
