Lenovo™ strengthens its portfolio and vision of AI for All with AI PCs and other powerful innovations

At the recently held CES® 2024, Lenovo unveiled a lineup of more than 40 new devices and solutions powered by AI. Furthering the company’s vision of AI for All, Lenovo’s latest offerings include new PC innovations across Lenovo’s Yoga™, ThinkBook™, ThinkPad™, ThinkCentre™, and Legion™ sub-brands that will revolutionize the user experience for both consumers and businesses.

Supercharging Creativity with AI

Lenovo showcased its latest repertoire of Yoga AI laptops that supercharge the creative process, a tablet that invites users to play and learn, IdeaPad™ laptops designed for the everyday user, and peripherals for the modern world.

Ushering in a new era, Lenovo’s newest lineup of Microsoft Windows 11 LenovoYoga laptops come with Lenovo Yoga Creator Zone, an exclusive new software for creators, artists, and anybody looking to harness the power of generative AI while still keeping simplicity, privacy, and security in mind. As an imagination spark plug, Lenovo Yoga Creator Zone offers image generation, which transforms text-based descriptions or even sketches into stunning visuals without complex prompts, codes, or setups. Users simply type whatever they want to see, and the system instantly creates a visual representation.

Headlining the new generation of Lenovo Yoga laptops are the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i (16”, 9) and the Lenovo Yoga 9i 2-in-1 (14”, 9), designed for creators with uncompromising standards, both premium laptops are MIL-STD-810H1 rated and are packed with cutting-edge components, including the latest Intel® Core™ Ultra Processors and a physical Lenovo AI Core Chip. Both models also feature a Copilot key, which harnesses the capabilities of AI to deliver relevant answers, summarize emails, generate images, and more.

Rounding out the Lenovo Yoga family are also four additional new laptops. For portability, the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i (14”, 9) is a thin and light Intel Evo™ edition premium laptop powered by Intel Core Ultra Processors and a WUXGA OLED screen. For content creation, the Lenovo Yoga Pro 7i (14”,9) and Lenovo Yoga Pro 7 (14”,9) are creator laptops equipped with an option of Intel Core Ultra Processors or up to an AMD Ryzen™ 7 8845HS processor, up to NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX™ 4050 Laptop GPU with NVIDIA Studio validation, and a PureSight Pro LCD or OLED 3K screen.

For the wow factor, the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i (13″, 9), whose predecessor was the world’s first full-size dual-screen OLED laptop3, can now be powered by Intel’s new Core Ultra Processors, a PureSight OLED 2.8K screen, and a rotating Bowers & Wilkins® soundbar. Last but not least are the new Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 (16”, 9) and Lenovo Yoga 7i 2-in-1 (14”, 9) convertible laptops that give creators on the go quick access to tools that complement their creativity.

Made for entertainment but designed for learning, the Lenovo Tab M11 tablet is the go-to “me time” device for students, movie connoisseurs, and budding artists. Equipped with the Lenovo Tab Pen, a handy stylus that delivers an uncompromised writing, drawing, and scribbling experience, the tablet comes preloaded with premium software that enhances usability: Nebo® to convert handwriting into text, MyScript® Calculator 2 to solve equations and functions in real-time, and WPS Office to easily view and edit documents.

New Wave of Productive and Creative Power

Under a Lenovo AI Now solution umbrella, Lenovo is continuing the development of a personalized AI solution designed to enable end-user interaction on the keyboard and through natural language. The provisionally named Lenovo AI Now Personal Assistant delivers personalized interactive experiences based on a user’s on-device knowledge base.

The AI Assistant will streamline workflows and enhance collaboration in a more personal and immersive manner. Using natural language, users will be able to check and change common settings such as display or performance, search and summarize emails and documents, create meeting invitations, and merge live cameras and avatars during video conferencing. Lenovo AI Now Personal Assistant will begin rollout in the first half of 2024 in China.

On top of this, Lenovo also showcased two unique proof-of-concept devices at CES: the Mechanical Energy Harvesting Combo and the Lenovo ThinkBook 13x Gen 4 SPE.

Lenovo ThinkBook 13x Gen 4 SPE

The Mechanical Energy Harvesting Combo uses mechanical movement and solar irradiation to power a mouse and a keyboard, eliminating the need for external charging. The product also supports both Bluetooth® and 2.4G wireless connection modes, ensuring easy connectivity with multiple devices.

Meanwhile, the Lenovo ThinkBook 13x Gen 4 SPE leverages E Ink Prism™ technology where users can customize the exterior cover in various patterns, creating a unique notebook appearance. This concept supports up to one thousand different images, allowing users to express their personalities too.

Intel-powered PC Experiences

The new Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, ThinkPad X1 2-in-1, and IdeaPad Pro 5i are powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra processors to deliver optimal power efficiency, performance, and immersive experiences. Dedicated AI acceleration support will help users embrace new experiences and enhance efficiency in work and play, including capabilities enabled by Copilot in Windows. Designed to offer users the most comprehensive PC experiences yet, these units will help users embrace a new generation of AI computing.

Gaming Redefined

Lenovo’s new gaming ecosystem debuted at CES 2024 with Microsoft Windows 11-based PCs, peripherals, software, and services that deliver on power, thermals, graphics, AI-powered advantages, and the freedom to build the ultimate system to game. The new PC portfolio includes the following new 9th generation Lenovo Legion 16-inch gaming laptops and towers:

This year’s LA AI chips are mightier than ever, enabling Lenovo Legion and Lenovo LOQ laptops to achieve even higher FPS, increased power efficiency, and more. With this new selection of gaming laptops, the new Lenovo gaming ecosystem lets gamers choose the exact setup they need to achieve gaming greatness and reach their ‘impossible.’

Lenovo shows Yoga is ‘For All of Us’ featuring Solenn Heussaff, Nico Bolzico. Power couple named as new brand ambassador

Tweet

Global innovation leader Lenovo is partnering with multi-hyphenates Solenn Heussaff and Nico Bolzico to showcase how there’s a Yoga device made “For All of Us.” Known for their quirky personas and thriving careers both within and outside entertainment, the duo embodies the uncompromising flexibility and performance of Yoga notebooks that cater to practically every kind of personality or profession.

DYNAMIC DUO SOLENN AND NICO SHOW THERE'S A YOGA FOR ALL OF US. Celebrity couple Solenn Heussaff and Nico Bolzico are joining the Lenovo Yoga family. Admired for their diverse careers in front of and behind the camera, they embody humanity’s unique traits and effortlessly match the Yoga lineup’s style, performance, and flexibility.

“Lenovo’s Yoga ‘For All of Us’ campaign celebrates people’s uniqueness and how this particular line of our devices is designed to easily adapt to any situation and fit the users’ needs. Solenn and Nico are stylish, ambitious, and inventive, and these are qualities and principles that we integrate within our Yoga devices. With this project, we hope to inspire fans and customers to be as bold and unapologetic in their pursuit of excellence,” said Michael Ngan, Lenovo Philippines President and General Manager.

Launched globally last year, the Yoga “For All of Us” campaign highlights humanity’s unique traits – both the positive and the negative – and pairs them with Yoga’s innovative technology to allow people to perform to their fullest potential. It celebrates innate attributes that Yoga notebooks spark further among users such as creativity and resourcefulness, while at the same time supports human flaws such as impatience and forgetfulness with its purposeful design. This is a stark contrast from usual campaigns that only revolve around achievements, and people can see all of this unfold by following Solenn and Nico’s journey as they go through their dynamic lives with their Yoga notebooks in hand.

“I love how authentic and different Lenovo’s Yoga For All of Us campaign is as it’s not afraid to celebrate both our feats and flaws as humans. I love taking care of things for my family, but I also make mistakes, having to juggle a lot of things in being a mother and with my career. It’s the same with Nico as well. However, making mistakes is just normal and it’s in these moments that we learn and grow. I love how Lenovo focuses on that and we’re grateful for the opportunity to inspire others as our genuine and true selves,” said Solenn.

Nico also relishes the opportunity to show parts of his daily routine that he hasn’t shared yet. “I am excited to be part of this campaign. It sends a really strong message that mistakes are only temporary setbacks that we can build on. Being in the spotlight, people tend to think we’re living a perfect life but we’re not. There’s a lot of hard work behind the scenes, and I’m excited to see how my Yoga device will help me be better. I’ll be able to share more of my experiences in business and home life, the challenges that I face daily, and how I overcome them with the help of my family and peers, and now with technology as well.”

Lenovo’s Yoga For All of Us campaign fits in perfectly with the couple’s vibrant lifestyle. Aside from her TV and film appearances, Solenn is a painter, makeup artist, and mother to one-year-old Thylane Katana. She is also a successful author of two books and has been involved in product designing through her lifestyle brand. Meanwhile, Nico has also been under the spotlight, but those commitments come second to being a fully-fledged father and entrepreneur in the agribusiness industry. The couple shares their life on social media where they have amassed a huge following.

Matching Solenn and Nico’s energy and flexibility are two of the most versatile Yoga notebooks in the lineup – the Yoga Slim 7i Carbon and the Yoga 9i. The Yoga Slim 7i Carbon’s featherweight body and long-lasting battery life can assist Solenn in home and career tasks, ranging from her art, music, and writing to, most importantly, family needs. The Yoga 9i, on the other hand, allows Nico more opportunities for his businesses through its touch-screen In-Plane Switching (IPS) display with Integrated Pen, two Thunderbolt 4 Type-C ports for seamless connection, and up to 17 hours of battery use. Both devices also feature Intel’s powerful 11^th-generation processors that provide uncompromising performance and contain several useful smart features for home and work.

Aside from their robust features, the Yoga Slim 7i Carbon and Yoga 9i come with Lenovo’s 3-Year Premium Care warranty solution that provides an advanced and tailored level of care capable of reducing downtime and increasing efficiency. Its services, such as a 24x7 direct hotline to technicians and On-Site Repair, can help remove delays for people with vibrant lifestyles like Solenn and Nico, allowing them to do more with Yoga devices no matter how they use them.

Follow Solenn (@solenn) and Nico (@nicobolzico) on Instagram to see how they celebrate humanity’s unique traits in Lenovo’s Yoga For All of Us campaign. Built to enable flexibility, resourcefulness, and ambition among artists, professionals, businessmen, and everything in between, Lenovo’s Yoga notebooks are here to help everyone.

Avail up to P 70,050 worth of freebies

Interested customers can take advantage of the Yoga For All promo in celebration of Solenn and Nico joining the Lenovo Yoga family. From March 10 to March 31, 2021, buyers of participating Yoga devices, along with select Lenovo IdeaPad, IdeaCentre, and Smart tablets, can get up to PHP 70,050 worth of bundled freebies from Lenovo and premium lifestyle brand Herschel.

Lenovo opens concept store in Tacloban

Tweet

 Technology leader, Lenovo, has recently opened its newest concept store in Tacloban City, Leyte, as part of efforts to bolster presence in the Philippines. This is the company’s first concept store in the Eastern Visayas region.

Located in Robinsons Place Tacloban, the store features Lenovo’s ever-growing product portfolio of notebooks, laptops, and desktops, designed and customized to cater to the different lifestyles and tech needs of various market segments.

Leading PC and smart devices developer Lenovo recently opened its first concept store in Leyte as part of efforts to bring its services closer to customers in the region. Located in the second level of Robinsons Place Tacloban, the store features Lenovo’s ever-growing product portfolio of notebooks, laptops, and desktops, which can be designed and customized to cater to the different lifestyles and tech needs. This process is part of the company’s overall thrust to focus more on customers in its overall strategy to achieve growth by delivering excellent service solutions. In photo from left to right: Eddie Uy, Managing Director of Electrocomputer Data Systems, Katherine Uy, CFO of Electrocomputer Data Systems, and Michael Ngan, Lenovo Philippines Country General Manager.

“Lenovo position as a global leader is not just because of our innovative products, but because of our efforts in making them more visible and accessible to the public, especially in key cities with a bustling local economy such as Tacloban. Through our concept stores, which we plan to expand all over the country, customers can have a unique first-hand experience of our products and at the same time discover what suits their lifestyle and needs through the advice of our professional staff,” said Lenovo Philippines Country General Manager Michael Ngan.

With the unique, face-to-face experience that customers can get from visiting the concept store, Lenovo gains crucial insight about its customers, which enables it to develop the best customized solutions to meet market requirements. This process is part of the company’s thrust to focus more on customers in its overall strategy on achieving growth by delivering excellent service solutions.

This strategy has helped position Lenovo as a worldwide leader in terms of PC and smart devices sales. Between the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2017-2018 and the first quarter of fiscal year 2018-2019, the company experienced double-digit growth and improved profitability as its revenue reached $11.91 billion, a 19-percent year-on-year growth. These figures earned Lenovo the number one spot in PC shipments by Gartner.

Further growth is expected with Lenovo’s new and upcoming offerings. Customers in Tacloban can expect some of the recent additions like the IdeaPad 330, 330S, and 530S, the three powerful yet budget-friendly PC devices that run on Windows 10. Avid gamers can also expect to get their hands on the new Legion Y530.

”We’ll continue to develop more innovative products in the years to come. Hopefully with the help of our concept stores, we can introduce them to our customers in a simple, flexible approach. We know that in the Philippines, actual hands-on experience with devices is an important part of the buying decision. Through our concept stores, customers are given a unique and personalized experience that puts their needs first,” Ngan said.
