China's Lenovo Brings 40+ AI Devices to CES 2024: ThinkBook Hybrid Splits Into a Windows Laptop and an Android Tablet

Monday, January 8, 2024 · Technology · GSM News

Las Vegas—Chinese company Lenovo used CES 2024 on January 8 to unveil more than 40 new devices and solutions powered by super intelligence (SI), spanning its Yoga, ThinkBook, ThinkPad, ThinkCentre and Legion lines under its "AI for All" vision and a broad AI PC push.

The headline act was the ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid, a two-in-one in the literal sense: a Windows laptop base and a detachable tablet that together form a 14-inch 2.8K OLED laptop, and apart become an Intel Core Ultra Windows PC driving an external display on one side and a Qualcomm-powered Android tablet on the other. The two halves can work independently, or stream Android apps onto the Windows desktop in a picture-in-picture window via Hybrid Stream. It goes on sale in the second quarter of 2024 from $1,999.

For small and midsize businesses, the ThinkBook 13x Gen 4 starts at $1,399 in the first quarter: from 1 kg and 12.9 mm thin, with a 74Wh battery, a 97 percent screen-to-body display and a built-in Copilot key, it is Lenovo's first laptop for the SMB market certified carbon neutral by the British Standards Institution (BSI). On the desktop side, the ThinkCentre neo Ultra squeezes up to an Intel Core i9 processor, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 GPU and an independent NPU card into a 3.6-liter chassis, arriving in the second quarter from $1,499, joined by the ThinkCentre neo 50a Gen 5 all-in-ones in 24- and 27-inch sizes.

Two proof-of-concept devices rounded out the booth: the ThinkBook 13x Gen 4 SPE, whose E Ink Prism top cover can cycle through up to a thousand patterns and keeps changing even when powered off, and a Mechanical Energy Harvesting keyboard and mouse combo that powers itself from keystrokes, movement and light, with no charging.

Eric Yu, Lenovo's senior vice president for the worldwide SMB segment and commercial product center, said the new ThinkBook and ThinkCentre neo machines bring super intelligence into everyday small-business work, giving smaller teams access to the newest generation of AI PCs. The whole new ThinkBook range runs on Intel Core Ultra processors, whose built-in NPU handles low-power SI acceleration alongside Copilot in Windows 11.
