The latest ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 is now powered by Intel’s Arrow Lake-U platform, which utilizes a 5 nm manufacturing process (Intel 3) for better energy efficiency.
Specifications and Performance
Lenovo reports that the ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 5 will offer options including the Core Ultra 7 255U processor. This new model has two Low Power Efficient cores, 8 Efficient cores, and 2 Performance cores, totaling 14 threads.
