In the field of business notebooks, the word "ThinkPad" is almost synonymous with "top-notch", and in all walks of life and even in various scenes of the world, ThinkPad is always indispensable. For example, Xiao Lei himself, is also a thinkPad laptop user, using ThinkPad X1 Carbon for two years this computer to help Xiao Lei solve various work problems with high stability and reliability, it is also Xiao Lei's most trusted work partner.
However, even the best consumer electronics products have "limitations", and it is inevitable that performance decay and performance decline will be affected by the "Andy Bill" law. To this end, Xiao Lei has been waiting for the 2022 ThinkPad X1 Carbon update to appear, and this day has finally arrived.
At the ThinkFamily new product launch on April 20, the 2022 ThinkPad X1 Carbon took to the stage as the protagonist. However, in addition to X1 Carbon, X1 Nano 2022 and X1 Yoga 2022 have also appeared, and ThinkPad has also released their new "neo" product line, and three new ThinkPad neo 14 and ThinkCentre neo P600/P780 have also been unveiled.
First of all, ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2022, thin and light body is "traditional art energy" natural can not be lost, the thickness of the new product is 14.9 mm, the weight of 1.1 kg, and the previous generation of products are basically the same, in the same category of similar products belong to a relatively thin and light category. At the same time, ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2022 still has excellent reliability, such as freezing into an ice cube at a temperature of minus 20 degrees, breaking the ice cube and taking out the computer can still be used normally, which is enough to explain the excellent stability of ThinkPad X1 Carbon.
Compared with the previous generation of products, ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2022 performance and configuration improvement is relatively large, first of all, the use of Intel 12th generation Core processors allows it to have obvious performance improvements, of which ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2022 optional i5 or i7 specifications, and the previous X1C performance experience will have a fairly good improvement.
In terms of peripheral configuration, the screen of ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2022 has also been greatly improved, and the screen resolution of its starting version has been directly upgraded from the past 1080P to 2.2K, and there is a 16+512GB storage configuration, which is not simple and rude; the screen specifications are up to 2.8K OLED screens, making the comprehensive look and feel to a higher level.
In terms of other features, ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2022 is equipped with a new feature called "Computer Vision Eye Sensor System", which not only can realize unlock encryption based on face recognition, but also automatically blur the screen when someone behind them is approaching to protect privacy.
In terms of starting price, ThinkPad X1 Carbon can start at 10499 yuan for the i5 version and 12499 yuan for the i7 version after enjoying the "Think deposit expansion" activity. In the case of obvious configuration improvement, the starting price of ThinkPad X1 Carbon is only a little higher than the previous generation, and I personally think that the cost performance is still relatively good.
As for thinkPad X1 Nano and X1 Yoga, there are not many highlights in themselves, one is a more lightweight but reduced interface X1C, the other is the screen can be folded, can adapt to more use scenarios of X1C, and the price of these two new products, and did not announce at the press conference.
The new neo product line is another focus of the conference, from the definition of the main "high performance" and "environmental protection" two major selling points, I believe that for the commercial, office market, suitable for creative design and other productivity work. The three new products unveiled this time are quite representative, ThinkPad neo 14 as a laptop equipped with 12th generation Intel Core chips and light-chasing graphics, support Intel vPro Essentials active management platform technology, allowing remote batch deployment of software or firmware updates, improve management efficiency.
ThinkCentre neo series desktop computers support the Smart Cable smart fusion solution, which allows laptops and desktop computers to work together for hybrid office. In general, the neo product line has dotted more "skill trees" in the business and enterprise scenarios, with the main purpose of improving enterprise efficiency.
In terms of price, ThinkPad neo 14 has multiple configurations, the lowest starting price is 6799 yuan, and the starting price with the unique display version is 8199 yuan.
ThinkCentre neo P780 starts at 6599 yuan, the entry product is equipped with a 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, and the top configuration is equipped with i9 chips and 8G video memory discrete graphics, with a strong configuration.
ThinkCentre neo P600 positioning is more people-friendly, there are i5/i7 two configurations to choose from, with 6GB video memory alone, starting at 5299 yuan.
In addition, ThinkPad also released thinkplus lipstick power supply neo, which is further reduced in size, supports 65W PD charging, and the starting price is 349 yuan.
The price of the ThinkPad series products is not low, especially the ThinkPad X1 series, and some people will definitely think that its price is too high. But in fact, with the unique business characteristics and office attributes of ThinkPad products, his stability and reliability are indeed unparalleled, and the ThinkPad X1 series is one of the few laptops on the market that support mobile networks, which is almost the preferred device for specific occupations.
In the blink of an eye, ThinkPad is about to celebrate its 30th anniversary, and its product-level success is believed to be beyond description. Rather than saying that we are selecting products, it is better to say that products select target groups through some ways, consumers who recognize ThinkPad products and brand value, I believe that they will still feel that the new products launched by ThinkPad today are sincere.
