New ThinkPad Range Equipped with Video and Voice Calling, Smart PC Features and Extended Battery Life

Sydney, Australia – 23 February, 2011: Lenovo (HKSE: 0992) (ADR: LNVGY) today announced six new ThinkPad laptops, the T420s, T420, T520, L420, L520 and W520, each aimed at maximising performance and providing a higher level of productivity for mobile business professionals. These laptops feature 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 thin and light ThinkPad T420s speeds up boot time by 30 percent1 with Lenovo Enhanced Experience 2.0. The T420 reaches new battery life benchmarks of up to 23 hours with an extended battery. The W520 mobile workstation offers twice the performance of previous models, and the L Series provides customers with a durable design at exceptional value.

“Lenovo has listened to what our customers want and as a result we have improved keys areas of the ThinkPad for 2011 including battery life, video and conferencing, and communications and performance. These ThinkPads deliver the best technologies that the industry has to offer which enables users to do more with their computing experience,” said Chris Kelly, Director, Product and Marketing, Lenovo Australia and New Zealand. “Lenovo has engineered self-aware technologies for unprecedented performance and power management capabilities, making the new ThinkPads smarter than ever.”

Smart PC Power and Performance Management

The new ThinkPads incorporate self-awareness and adaptive technologies to sense where power is needed most. This means priority components receive power ensuring 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 an internal 9-cell battery, the ThinkPad T420 delivers up to 11.5 hours of battery life, while the T420s delivers up to 9.3 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 23 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 and Voice Calling

The new 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 easy deployment, reliability 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 unauthorised data access.

Intuitive, and Easy to Use

Lenovo’s Instant Resume is a new feature that 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 virtualised 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 can also enjoy watching high definition movies and online videos with the help of integrated Intel® HD Graphics.
