Lenovo has announced a series of new products including Thinkpad X1 Carbon, a 14-inch Thinkpad Ultrabook Laptop, at the 2015 International Consumer Electronics Show.
Featuring the latest generation ThinkPad X1 Carbon, Lenovo said one hundred million units have been shipped.
"Since the original ThinkPad 700, ThinkPad engineers have continued to drive innovation by making each new ThinkPad better than the last. Reaching 100 million units sold proves they are succeeding," said Yuanqing Yang, chairman and CEO, Lenovo.
"When we acquired IBM's PC business, we made a promise to not just protect the ThinkPad franchise, but to make it even better, even stronger. Today, ThinkPad continues to be one of the most respected brands in the industry fueling Lenovo's rise to number 1 in WW PCs. Now, even as Lenovo expands into mobile devices, servers and ecosystem and cloud computing, ThinkPad will remain at the core of our strategy and the heart of our business. It is an honour to continue to bring this legendary brand to our customers, and I look forward to many more ThinkPad milestones to come," he added.
Lenovo also introduces the ThinkVision X24 bringing gorgeous ultra-thin IPS panel technology to the computing workspace and ThinkPad Stack that offers mix and match interlocking accessories to maximise productivity and minimise clutter.
Lenovo claims Thinkpad X1 is the lightest 14-inch performance Ultrabook in the world. The Thinkpad X1 features a super bright FHD display for the best viewing experience and a PCIe solid state drive for up to 80% faster storage performance than standard SSDs.
The newest X1 Carbon also features longer battery life and weighs less than 2.9 pounds with a durable and rugged carbon-forged chassis. Coupled with 5th Generation Intel Core processors and a whole suite of accessories to optimise the experience, the X1 Carbon permeates the ThinkPad heritage and continues to inspire relentless innovation.
The ThinkVision X24 is a 7.5mm thick borderless display with a compact form factor. The display features a Neo Blade 23.8-inch panel with unique pre-coated metal surface technology in place of a traditional rear cover enhancing the premium design.
The IPS panel highlights Full HD resolution with a wide 178 degree viewing angle and DisplayPort or HDMI digital connectivity.
