Ahead of its CES 2017 event, Lenovo has announced a refreshed line up of Thinkpad laptops for 2017.
These new devices come loaded with latest 7th Gen Intel Core Processors which includes support for Windows Hello and the Microsoft Precision Touchpad. Also, all devices will be tagged as Signature Edition laptop which means no pre-installed bloatware OOBE.
How we work is evolving faster than ever. Workplaces are being reconfigured to encourage greater collaboration. More and more employees are mobile. Skype for Business is expected to be used by 70% of large enterprises by 2018 and Gartner predicts that 75% of organizations will have a bimodal IT capability. Bimodal IT is the practice of managing two separate, coherent models of IT. One focused on stability and the other on agility. This enables companies to protect core business functions with standardized devices in a fully managed and secure environment. Also, to strive in a new digitized world of opportunities by being fast and flexible, embracing personal workstyles and nurturing anytime, anywhere productivity. Whether you are a mobile traveler or technology focused millennial who places priority on workplace technology and ultimate portability, or essential and versatile users who seek consistency, security, and reliability, the new ThinkPad notebooks offer both agility and stability to embrace workplace transformation and personal workstyles.
Lenovo’s latest line of ThinkPad notebooks have been inspired by our customer feedback, and built on a heritage of product excellence through the pursuit of relentless innovation, trusted quality and purposeful design:
- A cleaner, premium TouchPad supporting the Microsoft® Precision TouchPad has been designed to offer a more consistent trackpad user experience

- Infrared camera option with facial recognition software for fast, secure and password-free login with Windows Hello
