  • Lenovo ThinkPad 16-inch: 64GB LPCAMM2 RAM, 1500-nit OLED

    Lenovo ThinkPad 16-inch: 64GB LPCAMM2 RAM, 1500-nit OLED

    Key Takeaway

    – New ThinkPad P1 Gen 9 now on sale in East/Southeast Asia
    – Currently available with Core Ultra H-series CPUs and RTX Pro 2000 GPU only
    – Starts at ~$5,561 in Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore
    – Configurable with up to 64GB LPCAMM2 RAM and 2TB storage

    Lenovo refreshes ThinkPad P1 lineup

    As June draws to a close, Lenovo has decided to update its ThinkPad P1 range with a new release. To recap, the ThinkPad P1 Gen 8 arrived in September 2025 during IFA 2025 in Berlin. Reviewed by ourselves in December, the ThinkPad P1 Gen 8 impressed us with its LPCAMM2 RAM, Thunderbolt 5 compatibility, and its lightweight build despite being a 16-inch laptop (curr. $4,199 on Amazon).

    New Gen 9 now selling in Asia

    Nonetheless, Lenovo unveiled the ThinkPad P1 Gen 9 in March. Three months later, and the company has now started selling its latest 16-inch mobile workstation across East Asia and Southeast Asia. A global launch should follow shortly though, on the basis of the laptop’s initial announcement and inclusion on Lenovo’s PSREF website.

    In the meantime, Lenovo is not yet offering the ThinkPad P1 Gen 9 with the Core Ultra X9 processors or all of the Nvidia RTX Pro discrete GPUs mentioned in March. Instead, the laptop can currently be configured with the Core Ultra 7 356H, Core Ultra 7 366H vPro and the Core Ultra 9 386H vPro. As it stands, only the RTX Pro 2000 Blackwell (8 GB) laptop GPU is available. Even then, Lenovo does not allow a discrete GPU to be configured with the ThinkPad P1 Gen 9’s entry-level processor option.

    Configuration choices and display options

    No other processor-related configuration restrictions exist, though. As a result, the ThinkPad P1 Gen 9 can be paired with the Core Ultra 7 356H and 32 GB or 64 GB of LPCAMM2 RAM and 1 TB or 2 TB of M.2 2280 storage. On top of that, Lenovo sells the laptop with a choice of the following display panels:

    • 16-inch IPS, 1920×1200, 300 nits, 100% sRGB
    • 16-inch IPS, 1920×1200, 500 nits, 100% sRGB, low power
    • 16-inch OLED, 3840×2400, 400 nits, 100% DCI-P3, touch

    Pricing and availability details

    The ThinkPad P1 Gen 9 starts at HKD 38,310, MYR 21,142 and SGD 7,182 (~$5,561) in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore, respectively. All configurations ship with a 90 Wh battery that supports 140 W USB Type-C charging. Also, all models feature a Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi compatible modem. Please see Lenovo’s website and our launch article for more details.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad 13-inch Launch: Compact Intel Lunar Lake

    Lenovo ThinkPad 13-inch Launch: Compact Intel Lunar Lake

    Key Takeaway

    – ThinkPad L13 Gen 7 shifts from Intel Arrow Lake-U to Lunar Lake processors for better CPU and significantly improved graphics performance.
    – Battery life is strong, with claims of over 23 hours of local video playback or about 12 hours on the MobileMark 30 test.
    – All three IPS display options are 13-inch, 1920×1200, 16:10, 400 nits, and 60 Hz.
    – The laptop packs a 41 Wh or 54.7 Wh battery, 16 GB soldered RAM, and an M.2 2242 SSD in a 1.21 kg chassis.
    – Pricing and availability have not yet been announced.

    ThinkPad L13 Gen 7 Launched With Lunar Lake CPUs

    Lenovo has already released multiple new ThinkPads this year across its E, L, T and X series. For instance the ThinkPad E14 Gen 8 has been available globally since the start of the month with Intel Panther Lake processors. Now, Lenovo has turned to its L series again, having released the ThinkPad L16 Gen 3 at the start of June. Specificaly, the company has revealed a successor to last years ThinkPad L13 Gen 6. No new 2-in-1 model is forth coming yet though like the ThinkPad L13 Gen 5 2-in-1 that we reviewed in 2025.

    Processor and graphics performance shift

    While Lenovos Gen 6 models rely upon Intel Arrow Lake-U processors like the Core Ultra 5 225U and Core Ultra 7 255U, its Gen 7 successor adopts the adjacent Lunar Lake platform instead. According to our benchmarks this change should yeild a modest CPU performance advantage when comparing the Core Ultra 7 255U and Core Ultra 7 256V. However a massive graphics performance difference exists in the Core Ultra 7 256Vs favour. Additionally Lenovo equips the ThinkPad L13 Gen 7 with a 41 Wh or 54.7 Wh battery and an M.2 2242 SSD to complement the 16 GB of RAM embedded within each Lunar Lake processor. Reportedly the 13 inch laptop lasts over 23 hours of playing local videos at 150 nits or around 12hours in the MobileMark 30 battery life test.

    Display options and physical dimensions

    As far as we can tell these official battery life claims apply to any one of the laptops three IPS display options, which all output at 1,920 x 1,200 pixels with a 16:10 aspect ratio, 400 nits peak brightness and a 60 Hz fixed refresh rate. Lenovo has packed all this hardware into a housing that measures 299 x 215 x 12~15.7 mm. Also the compact laptop weighs 1.21 kg. Although heavier than some 13.3 inch laptops the ThinkPad L13 Gen 7 is packed full of ports on two of its four sides.

    Pricing and availability unconfirmed

    Unfortunately Lenovo has not confirmed pricing or availability yet. The device uses Intels Lunar Lake platform which promises better integrated graphics than its predecessor, the company has not stated a release date or starting price for any region. The laptop also features a M.2 2242 SSD slot and up to 54.7Wh battery capacity making it suitable for extended productivity sessions.

  • Lenovo 140W Power Bank: Sleek Laptop Charger for Travelers

    Lenovo 140W Power Bank: Sleek Laptop Charger for Travelers

    Key Takeaway

    – 10,200 mAh capacity with foldable outlet prongs for compact travel.
    – Dual function: portable power bank and 140W wall charger in one device.
    – Two USB-C ports: 65W each in battery mode, 140W single output when plugged in.
    – Includes 1.3-inch display for capacity, charging speed, and temperature.
    – Priced at ~$60 equivalent in China, potentially cheaper than separate charger+bank combos.

    Lenovo released a crafty 2-in-1 power bank that can also serve as a fast 140 W charger, negating the need to lug around two bricks at all times when on the move.

    Compact Capacity and Design

    The new external battery comes with a 10,200 mAh capacity instead of the 20,000 mAh packs with which Lenovo sells similar power banks with displays in the US, hence offering a much more portable and travel-friendly design. Instead of the 154 mm length, 51 mm width, 39 mm height, and 432 grams of weight of its 20,000 mAh ThinkPlus counterpart that doesn’t have outlet prongs, the new 10,200 mAh 140 W power bank/charger edition of Lenovo measures 46.5 x 45.5 x 118.5 mm and weighs 373 grams.

    Display and Charging Ports

    This makes it more suitable to take when traveling, while it still retains the 1.3-inch display that shows the remaining capacity, charging speed curve, and battery cell temperature, as well as two USB-C charging ports on top and foldable outlet prongs. The USB-C ports can deliver up to 65 W each in external battery mode, while one of them can output 140 W when the power bank is plugged into an outlet directly, making it suitable for charging a laptop and phone at the same time while traveling.

    Pricing and Availability

    The new Lenovo smart laptop power bank comes with a 5-foot cable and is priced at a $60 equivalent in China, where it launches first. The 20,000 mAh ThinkPlus power bank of Lenovo with a 140 W output goes for $99 on Amazon in the US, so if and when the 10,200 mAh version with a built-in charger makes its way stateside, it could be cheaper.

    Value Comparison

    Considering that a 140 W 3-port Lenovo GaN charger alone costs $87 on Amazon, if Lenovo prices its new and more compact 2-in-1 power bank/charger in the same ballpark, it would solve many a traveler’s problem when it comes to gadget charging and backpack allocation.

  • Lenovo 150W GaN Charger: Affordable Fast Charging Launch

    Lenovo 150W GaN Charger: Affordable Fast Charging Launch

    Key Takeaway

    – 150W total output with three USB-C ports (C1/C2: 140W each, C3: 65W; shared: 65W+65W+20W)
    – Supports multiple fast charging protocols (PPS, PD 3.2, QC 3.0) for broad device compatibility
    – No built-in display or indicators, but includes safety features (over-current, over-temperature)
    – Non-foldable prongs (may change for global version)
    – Priced at ~$50 in China; no international release date announced yet

    New High-Speed Charger From Lenovo

    Lenovo has released a new fast charging brick in China, the 150W Multi-port GaN Power Adapter. It sports a total of three USB-C ports and can offer up to 150W fast charging. This compact device is design to juice up multiple gadgets at once without slowing down to much.

    Port Speeds and Output Details

    Among the three ports, the C1 and C2 max out at 140W, while the third Type-C port can offer up to 65W of power. When all three of them are connected, the first two can go up to 65W each, while the third one can offer up to 20W of power. That means the total output will stand at 150W if all the ports are in use, making it a versatile option for users with many devices.

    Compatability and Safety Features

    The company highlights support for multiple fast charging protocols, including PPS, PD 3.2, and QC 3.0. This broad compatibility allows the power adapter to power up a broad range of devices, including laptops and low-power accessories. Unlike some of the high-power output chargers from other brands (such as the 4-port Anker 140W charger that’s curr. $79.99 on Amazon), this Lenovo power adapter doesn’t feature a built-in display. There aren’t any indicators either, but the good part is that the company has integrated multiple safety features, including over-current and over-temperature protections. This ensures your devices stay safe while charging quickly.

    Design and Global Availibility

    Another thing to note is that the charger doesn’t have foldable prongs, but this might change on the global version. Speaking of which, Lenovo hasn’t yet shared anything on when this 150W adapter may be available in the international market. In China, however, it costs CNY 339, around $50, making it stand as a pretty affordable charging brick for its power output rating. This price point makes it an attractive option for anyone needing high-speed charging without breaking the bank.

  • Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3: FIFA World Cup Edition launches in US

    Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3: FIFA World Cup Edition launches in US

    Key Takeaway

    – FIFA World Cup 26 Edition costs $569.99 vs. $439.99 for the standard edition (currently on sale).
    – Only cosmetic differences: white color, stickers, custom wallpapers, and branded box.
    – No hardware or spec upgrades—identical processor, display, RAM, storage, and battery.
    – Standard edition includes the same accessories (charger, protective film, folio case).
    – Not worth the extra cost; standard edition is the better value.

    Lenovo’s FIFA World Cup 26 Limited Edition Tablet

    Earlier this year, Lenovo announced a handful of FIFA World Cup 26-branded products, thanks to its partnership with FIFA. Among them is the Legion Tab Gen 3 (FIFA World Cup 26 Edition). It is now available in the US, but it isn’t worth buying over the standard edition unfortunatly.

    The Price is a Major Deterrent

    The Legion Tab Gen 3 (FIFA World Cup 26 Edition) is now available on the Lenovo US website. Its price tag of $569.99 is outrageous considering the regular version is is currently priced at $439.99. While the regular version is on sale, as Lenovo says its estimated value is $549.99, you are not really getting anything special worth the extra money if you choose the FIFA edition.

    The FIFA edition is white whereas the standard version is black. It also includes a handful of stickers and custom wallpapers, plus ships in a special branded box. The product page says it ships with a folio case, but it doesnt specify if it’s a special FIFA edition like the Yoga Tab FIFA World Cup 26 Edition. There’s a 65W USB-C charger and a protective film, which you also get with the standard edition.

    Identical Specifications and Features

    The specs are the same. The tablet has an 8.8-inch 2560 × 1600 display with a 165Hz refresh rate, HDR10 support, and 900 nits of peak brightness. It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, paired with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of UFS 4.0 storage. It also has a 13MP + 2MP dual rear camera setup, an 8MP front camera, and a 6,550mAh battery that charges via either of two USB-C ports.

    • Stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos
    • Dual microphones
    • Wi-Fi 7
    • Bluetooth 5.4
    • Launched with Android 14, update to Android 16 already available
    • Promised three Android OS upgrades, should reach Android 17

    ThinkPad P14s i Gen 7: An Evolution Since Launch

    A few months have passed since Lenovo announced the ThinkPad P14s i Gen 7. Replacing the Gen 6 model which we reviewd in November 2025, the Gen 7 model has higher memory bandwidth at its disposal thanks to LPCAMM2 (LPDDR5X) RAM running at 8,533 MT/s.

  • Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 7 vs Gen 6: Design Photo Comparison

    Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 7 vs Gen 6: Design Photo Comparison

    Key Takeaway

    – Lenovo uses “Clean sheet” redesigns, not just iterative updates.
    – New T14 Gen 7 has a redesigned lid with a wide bar hinge and smaller bezels.
    – Rounded screen corners are now standard on the T series.
    – The base features a new centered keyboard font and smaller speaker/ventilation holes.
    – Key debate: New rounded, centered design vs. old angular, standard-keyprint style.

    ThinkPad Design Evolution

    If you ask some people, ThinkPads do not really have a design – they are just black boxes, would the naysayers tell you. However, Lenovo would probably disagree, as the evidently invest a lot of money into refining the design of their legendary business laptop line every few years. Lenovo even has a special term for “redesign”: They call it “clean sheet”, a name which comes from the fact that the new design starts with a clean sheet of paper and is not simply an update of a previous model.

    Redesigning the Classic

    Such a case is the Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 7 which we recently reviewed. This model brings a completely new design, after the previous ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 and ThinkPad T14 Gen 6 both shared the same design language. The T14 G7 changes things up in a lot of ways, and we was able to directly compare it with the older T14 Gen 6.

    Chassis and Display Changes

    The changes are numerous: For one, Lenovo has redesigned the entire display lid area, with a new wide bar hinge, slightly smaller screen bezels (1 mm less on the sides) and a flat display cover – the one of the T14 Gen 6 had a slight bulge. These changes will not be controversial, but one change will be for sure: Rounded screen covers have become the new standard on the Lenovo ThinkPad T series.

    Base and Keyboard Updates

    As for the base, the new ThinkPad T14 Gen 7 is around 1 mm thicker, but it keeps the same chamfered design for the base, so it does not really look thicker. The holes of the speakers are a bit smaller than before, and there are less ventilation holes on the base. Of course, the big visual change here is the adoption of a new, centered keyboard font. This is a significant departure from the old ISO standard key printing style.

    • New design with flat display cover and wide bar hinge
    • Rounded screen corners as new standard
    • Base is 1 mm thicker but looks similar
    • Smaller speaker holes and fewer ventilation holes
    • New centered keyboard font adopted

    Which One To Choose?

    Which one do you prefer: The new ThinkPad with rounded corners and centered key printing, or the old ThinkPad, with normal corners and the old ISO standard key printing style? This is a personel choice that many users are debating right now.
