They\u2019ve unleashed a raft of shiny laptops, monitors\u00a0and convertibles. Let\u2019s look at some of the most interesting additions!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>See More: &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/cat\/CES-2016.htm\">Shop our phones, gadgets and accessories,\u00a0as seen at CES 2016<\/a>&#8216;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"graf--h4\">Chrome or Windows ThinkPad 13 laptop<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/06_Thinkpad_13_Black_Hero_Shot_ppt.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/06_Thinkpad_13_Black_Hero_Shot_ppt.jpg\" alt=\"06_Thinkpad_13_Black_Hero_Shot_ppt\" width=\"1420\" height=\"778\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/06_Thinkpad_13_Black_Hero_Shot_ppt.jpg 1420w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/06_Thinkpad_13_Black_Hero_Shot_ppt-300x164.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/06_Thinkpad_13_Black_Hero_Shot_ppt-450x247.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1420px) 100vw, 1420px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\">Lenovo\u2019s ThinkPad 13 comes with either Chrome OS or Windows. Sadly dual-booting isn\u2019t a possibility, as the two models have different keyboards and ports, but it\u2019s still nice to have the option for a Windows alternative. The laptop is powerful enough, with a Core i5 processor, up to 16GB of RAM and up to 512GB of flash storage. They also come with new USB-C connectors, which we\u2019ll see more of in the year ahead. The Chrome OS version will cost $399, while the Windows model is $449; they\u2019ll debut in June and April, respectively.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf--h4\">Transforming ThinkPad X1 tablet<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/10a_X1_Tablet_Productivity_Module_Black_Thin_Keyboard_Right_Hero_Shot0-980x552.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49569\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/10a_X1_Tablet_Productivity_Module_Black_Thin_Keyboard_Right_Hero_Shot0-980x552.jpg\" alt=\"10a_X1_Tablet_Productivity_Module_Black_Thin_Keyboard_Right_Hero_Shot0-980x552\" width=\"980\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/10a_X1_Tablet_Productivity_Module_Black_Thin_Keyboard_Right_Hero_Shot0-980x552.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/10a_X1_Tablet_Productivity_Module_Black_Thin_Keyboard_Right_Hero_Shot0-980x552-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/10a_X1_Tablet_Productivity_Module_Black_Thin_Keyboard_Right_Hero_Shot0-980x552-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/10a_X1_Tablet_Productivity_Module_Black_Thin_Keyboard_Right_Hero_Shot0-980x552-730x410.jpg 730w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\">Next up is the ThinkPad X1 tablet. This Windows 10 tablet is modular, with three different modules to add new functionality. Productivity is the first option, which adds 5 hours of battery life and additional USB and HDMI ports. The Presenter module adds a pico projector, capable of throwing a 60-inch display. The 3D Camera model adds Intel\u2019s RealSense camera, allowing objects to be captured and edited for 3D printing. The tablet also comes with a keyboard, complete with TrackPoint and touchpad, a kickstand and an optional stylus. The system launches for $899 next month, with modules costing $149 or $279 depending on which you choose.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf--h4\">Refreshed ThinkPad X1 Carbon ultrabook<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/07_ThinkPad_X1_Carbon_HERO_SHOT_02_SKYPE_v04-980x627.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49570\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/07_ThinkPad_X1_Carbon_HERO_SHOT_02_SKYPE_v04-980x627.png\" alt=\"07_ThinkPad_X1_Carbon_HERO_SHOT_02_SKYPE_v04-980x627\" width=\"980\" height=\"627\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/07_ThinkPad_X1_Carbon_HERO_SHOT_02_SKYPE_v04-980x627.png 980w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/07_ThinkPad_X1_Carbon_HERO_SHOT_02_SKYPE_v04-980x627-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/07_ThinkPad_X1_Carbon_HERO_SHOT_02_SKYPE_v04-980x627-450x288.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\">The X1 Carbon is in many ways Lenovo\u2019s premier laptop, so I was looking forward to seeing what they\u2019ve changed this year. The new X1 Carbon comes with sixth-generation Intel processors and a thinner, lighter body. The new Carbon weighs just over a kilogram, and measures 17mm thick. Inside, you\u2019ll find up to a Core i7 CPU, backed with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. The 14-inch display comes in 1080p and 1440p flavours. It\u2019ll debut in February from $1299.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf--h4\">OLED-capable ThinkPad X1 Yoga convertible<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Carousel_678x452.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Carousel_678x452.png\" alt=\"Carousel_678x452\" width=\"678\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Carousel_678x452.png 678w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Carousel_678x452-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Carousel_678x452-450x376.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\">The X1 Yoga is near-identical to the Carbon, but adds the line\u2019s trademark 360 degree hinge to turn into a (thick) tablet?\u2014?the keys even retract into the keyboard when the Yoga turns into its tablet mode. It also comes with a touchscreen and stylus, to provide more tablet-friendly input options. The Yoga debuts this month from $1449, including with a (rare) OLED 1440p screen for $200 extra.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf--h4\">ThinkCentre X1, a slim all-in-one<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Thinkcentre_X1_Hero_Shot_Front_Standalone-980x552.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-49572 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Thinkcentre_X1_Hero_Shot_Front_Standalone-980x552.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"980\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Thinkcentre_X1_Hero_Shot_Front_Standalone-980x552.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Thinkcentre_X1_Hero_Shot_Front_Standalone-980x552-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Thinkcentre_X1_Hero_Shot_Front_Standalone-980x552-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Thinkcentre_X1_Hero_Shot_Front_Standalone-980x552-730x410.jpg 730w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\">Lenovo are also making an all-in-one this year, the ThinkCentre X1. The new model includes a super-slim 24-inch 1080p IPS display, sitting atop a stylish metal stand. Inside, you\u2019ll find a Core CPU (from i3 to i7), mechanical or solid state drives, and up to 16GB of RAM. The AiO will debut in March for $1049.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf--h4\">USB-C, modular ThinkVision X24 display<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Carousel_678x452.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49573\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Carousel_678x452.jpg\" alt=\"Carousel_678x452\" width=\"678\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Carousel_678x452.jpg 678w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Carousel_678x452-300x230.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Carousel_678x452-450x345.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\">We conclude with some stunning new displays. The ThinkVision X24 is a (nearly) borderless 24-inch 1080p IPS display, complete with USB-C which can be used to both connect to a laptop and charge that very same laptop. If you don\u2019t have USB-C, you can fall back to mDP instead. The monitor also has an Intel RealSense 3D camera, allowing it to work with Windows Hello facial recognition login. The monitor also has optional accessories, including a Qi wireless charging base and a WiGig bar?\u2014?this latter option allows you to connect wirelessly to compatible laptops, including almost all of Lenovo\u2019s refreshed laptops. The monitor costs $399, plus $250 for the WiGig bar and $150 for the wireless charging stand (ouch). It\u2019ll ship in May.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf--h4\">USB-C and 4K ThinkVision X1 display<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/ThinkVisionX1Front_575px.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/ThinkVisionX1Front_575px.png\" alt=\"ThinkVisionX1Front_575px\" width=\"678\" height=\"538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/ThinkVisionX1Front_575px.png 678w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/ThinkVisionX1Front_575px-300x238.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/ThinkVisionX1Front_575px-450x357.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 678px) 100vw, 678px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf--p\">The ThinkVision X1 takes things to the next level. This 27-inch monitor runs at 4K resolution and measures just 7.5mm thick. It also has minimal bezels, measuring just 2mm on the top and sides, for a breathtaking look. The monitor even includes an integrated webcam on a movable platform, stereo speakers and four USB 3.0 ports. It attaches to your PC via USB-C, HDMI 2.0 or DP 1.2 connections and will retail for $799 in March.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf--h4\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf--p\">Thanks for taking a look at the article.
