Lenovo hat heute gleich 6 neue Thinkpads vorgestellt, das Thinkpad L420, Thinkpad L520, Thinkpad T420s, Thinkpad T420, Thinkpad T520 und die mobile Workstation Thinkpad W520. Alle neuen Thinkpads sollen mit Intels aktueller 2011er Core-i-Prozessorserie erhältlich sein und neben mehr Leistung auch eine längere Akkulaufzeit bieten.

Bei der Serie Thinkpad L stehen für das 14 Zoll L420 und das 15,6-Zoll-Notebook L520 Intels Core-i5- und i7-Prozessoren, bis zu 8 GByte RAM und die ATI-Grafik Radeon HD 565 oder Radeon HD 5650 zur Auswahl.

Das Thinkpad L420 integriert ein 14-Zoll-Display mit 1.366 x 768 Pixeln, für das Thinkpad L520 kann der Kunde auch ein Modell mit 15,6-Zoll-LCD und 1.600 x 900 Bildpunkten kaufen. Bei den Massenspeichern soll es eine 80 GByte große SSD als Option geben. Als Startpreis nennt Lenovo für beide Thinkpads 719 US-Dollar.

Für die neuen Notebooks der Serie Thinkpad T hat Lenovo für die 14-Zoll-Notebooks Thinkpad T420s und Thinkpad T420 sowie für das Thinkpad T520 mit 15,6“-Display ebenfalls die aktuellste Core-i5- und i7-Generation in petto. Lenovo stellt bei seinem T-Refresh aber die um 30 Prozent kürzere Boot-Startphase des Thinkpad T420s heraus. Das Thinkpad T420 soll mit einem 9-Zellen-Akku sagenhafte 30 Stunden mit Batteriestrom schaffen.

Nvidias automatischer Grafikumschalter Optimus ist bei den neuen T-Modellen auch wieder an Bord. Die dedizierte Grafikarbeit soll laut Engadget nun eine Geforce 4200M mit 1 GByte VRAM übernehmen. Update: Notebooks.com hat ein Datenblatt für das T520 veröffentlicht, in dem die Rede von einer Nvidia NVS 4200M ist. Diese dürfte wohl auf den Chip der GT 520M oder GT 420M basieren (wie auch in den neuen Dell Latitude). Für das Thinkpad T420s will Lenovo mindestens 1.329 US-Dollar, für das T420 geht es ab 779 US-Dollar los. Die Preise für das Thinkpad T520 beginnen bei 909 US-Dollar.

Die mobile Workstation Thinkpad W520 kann mit zahlreichen Prozessoren der Serie Core i5 und i7 bestückt werden. Als professionelle Grafikhardware integriert das Thinkpad W520 die soeben vorgestellte Nvidia Fermi Quadro 1000M oder 2000M mit bis zu 2 GByte Grafikspeicher. Als Massenspeicher steht auch eine 160 GByte große SSD zur Auswahl. Als Preis für das Thinkpad W520 muss der Lenono-Kunde 1.329 US-Dollar auf den Tisch blättern.

Alle 6 neuen Notebooks sollen ab März in den USA verfügbar sein. Für Deutschland hat Lenovo bisher noch keine Informationen parat.

Video Calling, Smart PC & Battery Life Innovation Drive New ThinkPad Laptops

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC – Feb. 22, 2011: Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) today announced six new ThinkPad laptops - the T420s, T420, T520, L420, L520 and W520 - that maximize performance and offer a higher level of productivity for today’s mobile business professionals. These laptops are built upon a platform of new Lenovo innovations that respond to key business needs including: video and voice calling, smart PC features for power and performance management, all-day battery life, enterprise management and an intuitive, easy-to-use computing experience.

The ultra-thin, sub four pound ThinkPad T420s speeds up boot time 30 percent1 with Lenovo Enhanced Experience 2.0; the T420 reaches new battery life benchmarks of up to 30 hours with an extended battery; the W520 mobile workstation offers twice the performance of previous models; and the L Series gives customers recognized ThinkPad durable design at an exceptional value.

“Inspired by our customers, the 2011 ThinkPad laptops deliver the best technologies the industry has to offer, enabling users to do more with their computing experience,” said Dilip Bhatia, vice president, ThinkPad Marketing, Lenovo. “We used customer feedback to help us create our latest ThinkPad laptops that provide strong improvements in key areas such as battery life, video and conferencing communications and performance. We’ve even made the ThinkPad laptops smarter by engineering self-aware technologies for unprecedented performance and power management capabilities.”

Smart PC Power & Performance Management

The new laptops incorporate self-aware and adaptive technologies to sense where power is needed most to ensure priority components receive power for improved overall performance and battery life. Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 dynamically increases processor speed during performance intensive tasks such as video editing, data analysis and 3D applications. Lenovo Turbo Boost+ enables the laptops to stay in Turbo Boost even longer by keeping processor temperatures below required thermal limits. With reduced power to non-essential hardware, the laptops achieve up to 30 percent longer battery life while playing multimedia so users can watch DVDs, listen to MP3s or stream web content longer.

All-Day Battery Life

With its standard 9-cell battery, the ThinkPad T420 delivers up to 15 hours of battery life, while the T420s, delivers up to 10 hours with its 6-cell and optional optical bay battery combined. For extreme battery life needs, the ThinkPad T420, with its standard 9-cell battery and optional 9-cell slice battery, provides up to 30 hours of computing power. As the first business class laptops to feature NVIDIA® Optimus™ automatic graphic switching technology, T Series and W Series laptops provide 33 percent better battery performance over previous discrete graphics models.

Video & Voice Calling

The laptops include a variety of technologies for enhanced video and voice conferencing. Private Chat and Conference Call microphone modes allow users to switch easily between modes with a single mouse click. Private Chat mode can also use noise cancelling technology to focus on a single voice, while Conference Call mode opens the audio capture field to 360 degrees around the notebook, allowing for multiple user interaction in the room.

The laptops also include keyboard noise suppression technology to help eliminate the distracting keyboard clicking that often occurs while typing during PC-based voice calls. The laptops can also help users avoid embarrassing conference call mistakes with a dedicated LED-lit microphone mute key which indicates when the microphone is sending audio.

Designed for Enterprise

Built upon a platform of advanced industry technologies, including the performance and energy efficiency of the 2nd generation Intel® Core™ and Core™ vPro™ processors, the new ThinkPad laptops offer enterprise IT managers high reliability and easy deployment and manageability. For example, the ThinkPad T, W and L Series share the same docking station to simplify deployment, reduce costs and allow hardware sharing among employees. The laptops also share common batteries for lower cost and easy component management.

For improved enterprise-class security, the new ThinkPad laptops offer multiple layers of security throughout the hardware, software, BIOS and options including encrypted hard drives with remote management support, a fingerprint reader with one touch swipe for power on and authentication and Intel® Anti-Theft Technology (Intel® AT) – a laptop theft deterrence mechanism that disables the laptop preventing unauthorized data access.

Intuitive, & Easy-to-Use

A new feature, Lenovo’s Instant Resume, maintains users’ wireless connection on the laptop during sleep mode for up to 99 minutes2, eliminating the need to login and reconnect. For improved audio sound, the ThinkPad T420s is the first business class notebook to offer Dolby® Home Theater® v4, Dolby’s latest audio technology with virtualized surround sound and dialog enhancement technology for clearer sound in movies, music and during video calls.

For quick and easy startup and shutdown, the laptops also feature Lenovo Enhanced Experience 2.0 for Windows 7 - an exclusive certification for Lenovo products that allows users to start their laptop on average 20 seconds faster than a typical Windows 7 computer3. Users will also enjoy watching high definition movies and online videos with the help of integrated Intel® HD Graphics.
