Lenovo unveils two laptops based on Snapdragon X Elite ARM processor with Copilot+ support
Lenovo has introduced two new generation laptops: Yoga Slim 7x and ThinkPad T14s Gen 6. They feature Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processors based on ARM architecture and support for Mircosoft's Copilot+ generative artificial intelligence built into a special version of Windows 11. Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x is positioned as a laptop for people in creative professions, and Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 is designed for employees in the corporate market.
Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor
The Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor has a 12-core Oryon central processing unit, Adreno graphics processor and Hexagon neural processor. It delivers performance of up to 45 trillion operations per second (TOPS). The Snapdragon X Elite is based on ARM architecture, which ensures high performance and long battery life (traditionally known as energy efficiency). The latest improvements to Microsoft and Copilot+ allow users of Windows laptops with ARM processors to use the Large Language Model (LLM) even without an internet connection.
Mircosoft Copilot+.
Copilot+ is an advanced AI assistant designed to improve the efficiency of software developers. It uses artificial intelligence to provide recommendations and autocomplete code, which helps reduce errors and speed up the development process. Copilot+ integrates with popular development environments and supports various programming languages. The tool can generate code snippets, suggest bug fixes, and even help with documentation. The new version of Copilot+ provides generative artificial intelligence based on a large language model that helps users with everyday tasks. This is the next level of technology after the advent of computers and the Internet.
Benefits of Lenovo Slim 7x
Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x allows creators to spend less time editing or rendering images. The Hexagon neural processor provides built-in access to features such as image creation from text descriptions, advanced photo and video editing, text creation, and tooltips. Additional features include enhanced camera and video call quality, high-definition audio, 4K streaming, faster internet connectivity, and enhanced security for sensitive information. The device is extremely energy efficient, providing up to several days of battery life. Lenovo AI Core is paired with the Snapdragon X Elite processor, dynamically adjusting power and efficiency depending on the task at hand. This means access to powerful AI-enabled features in a slim, portable device.
At just 1.28kg and 12.9mm thin, Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x is as portable as it is powerful. Projects are visualised on a bright 14.5-inch PureSight OLED touchscreen display with a 16:10 aspect ratio, 3K resolution (3072x1920 pixels), 90Hz refresh rate and 1000 nits peak brightness, supporting 100% of the sRGB and P3 colour gamut, as well as TUV Rheinland Low Blue Light technology. The FHD (1920 x 1080 pixels) infrared webcam with Mobile Industrial Processor Interface (MIPI) provides a clearer image during video calls and has four Voice ID microphones for the most accurate call transmission. Audio is realistically clear with the Lenovo Premium Suite four-speaker sound system. The Premium Suite keyboard has 1.5 mm of travel on each key. Yoga's greaseproof coating enhances the typing experience, and the trackpad, which measures up to 135x80 mm, provides greater precision on the go.
Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x has an eco-friendly design with no plastic in the packaging materials. The device comes in boxes made of FSC-certified paper, and the cushioning blocks are made of pressed paper pulp. Lenovo provides a CO2 offsetting service for purchasers of the device by purchasing offset credits to support projects aimed at reducing CO2 emissions. The Yoga Slim 7x also qualifies for Lenovo Premium Care, which provides personalised hardware and software support from experienced technicians.
Benefits of the ThinkPad T14s Gen 6
The ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 is Lenovo's first commercial Copilot+ notebook, setting a new performance standard for Windows business notebooks. Powered by a Snapdragon X Elite processor and Adreno GPU, the device delivers powerful artificial intelligence capabilities with 45 TOPS of computing power. Copilot+ optimises mundane tasks with generative AI and machine learning, as well as integration with Microsoft 365, providing users with a personalised AI assistant.
The ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 comes with up to 64GB of LPDDR5x memory in a slim 14-inch form factor. A high-quality FullHD infrared camera with physical shutter delivers crisp video, and Wi-Fi 7 and 5G support keeps you connected and up-to-date for a long time. The 58Wh battery provides days of battery life.
Thanks to the collaboration between Lenovo, Qualcomm and Microsoft, more than a hundred enterprise apps are optimised for the Snapdragon processor, covering device management, collaboration, productivity and data protection. ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 helps you manage risk with ThinkShield security features, threat detection, and an AI-powered secure boot process, and software partners like SentinelOne provide layered protection against ransomware.
The ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 also offers Lenovo TruScale-based configuration and deployment services, enabling IT administrators to strategically manage the deployment of AI-powered PCs. These services protect sensitive information while providing the flexibility and control needed to meet business needs.
The ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 features a sleek design with narrow bezels and a 14-inch screen, as well as sustainable manufacturing and packaging, including FSC-certified paper and no plastic in packaging materials.
