On January 18, Lenovo released a new generation of Ultrabook ThinkBook 13x Gen 2 at ces 2022. The appearance continues the design of the previous generation, but it innovatively introduces 65W wireless fast charging technology, which should be one of the few notebooks on the market that support wireless fast charging, which is more advanced than Apple's MacBook.
It is understood that Lenovo added a wireless charging coil to the position of the notebook D-side battery, and launched a corresponding wireless charging pad for it, and the notebook can be directly charged on the charging pad to get rid of the interference of the wire. The charging pad is very flat, the silver white area can charge the notebook, and the area with the lightning mark on the left supports the Qi charging protocol, which can charge mobile phones, watches, headphones and other devices, with a maximum power of 10W.
The size of the charging pad is 440*105*4.5mm, and only one Type-C interface is retained on the side, and Lenovo also equips it with a 100W PD charger. With this wireless charging pad, you can charge your phone and laptop at the same time and move towards a wireless life. Unfortunately, the left area only supports 10W power, charging devices such as iPhones or watches may be OK, Android phones may not be suitable, and the charging speed is too slow.
ThinkBook 13x Gen 2 is equipped with a 13.3-inch 2.5K screen, supports 180 degree opening and closing, and weighs 1.22kg. Internally powered by Intel's 12th generation Core U-series processors, it provides two Full-featured interfaces for Raiden 4. The product, which will be released in April, starts at $1,099 (about 6,970 yuan) and costs $200 (about 1,260 yuan) for wireless charging pads.
With such a precedent as Lenovo, other computer manufacturers should also introduce this technology, such as Razer, Logitech and other peripheral manufacturers, may also begin to work hard and launch related peripheral products. I hope that the more similar wireless products can be as good, I really can't stand a lot of messy wire on the desktop.
Wireless charging has become quite common on mobile phones, and even the charging power is dry to more than 65W. However, subject to the corresponding policy constraints, wireless charging can only reach a maximum of 50W, but it is also fully enough to meet the demand. In addition to wireless charging, consumers are more looking forward to air charging, and the device can be charged without being close to the charging pad. I hope that these technologies will appear soon and be used in mobile phones, notebooks and other electronic devices, so that we are enjoying the life of wireless technology.
