  • AMD’s Ryzen 2560 Pro is available as an optional pick on the ThinkPad T 23, T (S, X) , L 23, and L models. The highest-end of the new AMD Ryzen 4000 Pro chips has eight cores and gives Intel a run for its money.

    Intel chips are available picks across the line too, though ( (th-generation Intel Core vPro later in

    ). And Intel-equipped T or X series laptops get a CAT WWAN option. For the L 23 and L , CAN 9 WWAN is available. All the new ThinkPad models have Wi-Fi 6, and several models (all but the L 22 and L Yoga offers offer LTE configurations.

    Some models (the T and X series) have “Modern Standby,” which allows the laptops to stay connected to a network, sync for updates, and resume quickly. Wake-on-voice is also available as an option for the T and X series. The ThinkPad X Yoga and the entire T series lineup can be configured with a UHD OLED display with Dolby Vision HDR support (such as it is on PCs, presently). And since we’re talking about Dolby, the T, X, and L series all come with some form of Dolby Audio. All models will include a webcam shutter, and Lenovo is pitching an optional upgrade for IR webcam-equipped units called PrivacyAlert. This feature tries to tell when people besides you are looking at the screen, and it can take actions like screen dimming or alerts to prevent unwanted snooping.

    This is a lot of models and differentiators to keep track of, but you can go to Lenovo’s press hub for the full rundown . The press release goes into greater detail about top-level features than it does about specific specs, though. Lenovo also isn’t saying anything new today about newer product lines like the X1 Fold or its 5G Yoga laptop, either.
