Lenovo has unveiled two new ThinkBook laptops as part of its Mobile World Congress hardware announcements, dubbed the “ThinkBook 13s Gen 4” and “ThinkBook 14s Yoga Gen 2.” Lenovo says these new laptops are designed for the modern professional, featuring Intel 12th-Gen chips, a beautiful dual-tone design, and all day battery life, both preloaded with Windows 11.
The ThinkBook 13s Gen 4 is a traditional laptop form factor, with a 13.3-inch display with either 1080p or 2.5K screen resolution options. It supports Dolby Vision, and is also 16:10 for an enhanced productivity experience. There’s also built-in anti-glare, and an optional touch display too.
On the inside, we have up to an Intel Core i7 12th-Gen processor, up to 32GB RAM, 1TB storage, and integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics. Lenovo claims around 11.1 hours of battery life, with support for RapidCharge with a 65W Type-C charger. For ports, we have two Thunderbolt 4 ports, one USB-A port, one HDMI out port, an audio jack, and Novo Hole.
The ThinkBook 14s Yoga Gen 4 is a 2-in-1 laptop, featuring a 360-degree hinge allowing the device to transform into a large tablet on the fly. Just like the 13s, the 14s Yoga Gen 2 features a clean and minimalist dual-tone design but with a larger 14-inch display size, more RAM, and more storage.
The display is a 14-inch 1080p panel with a 100 percent sRGB color gamut. On the inside, we have Intel 12th-Gen chips, up to 40GB RAM, integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics, and support for two SSDs up to 1TB in storage. Battery life is claimed at around 8.6 hours, and features one Thunderbolt 4 port, one USB-C 3.1 Gen2 port, two USB 3.1 ports, one HDMI 2.0 port, an audio jack, and one microSD card slot.
Both laptops are expected to start shipping in April 2022 with a starting price of $849 for both.
