Creating your own mobile workstation for school or work isn’t as simple as most people make it out to be. For the most part, it requires sets of devices that are compatible with each other in the long run. Now, Lenovo plans to basically challenge with their own set of mobile devices to get you started. Enter the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook and the Lenovo L15 Mobile Monitor.

Some brand new Chromebooks for work

For the laptop department, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook provides several key features that fit a mobile workstation. For starters, an 11th generation Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB of RAM provides suitable performance for this 2-in-1 laptop. Also, it comes with 512GB of SSD storage, which is quite ample for all your software and documents. In essence, it’s the ideal device to bring with you to work, or set down on the table for school.

Another nifty feature unique to the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook is its 720p webcam for video conferencing. This is particularly useful if you’re not keen on spending a bit more for a dedicated webcam for your laptop. Finally, the IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook sports 10 hours worth of battery life, which is decent for work.

Apart from this laptop, Lenovo also announced the Lenovo IdeaPad 5i Chromebook. This device comes with hardware similar to the IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook, just without the webcam. Also, the IdeaPad 5i Chromebook is a standard laptop with a 14-inch IPS non-touch display.

Your next, mobile 2nd screen

For most of you, a mobile workstation isn’t complete without a 2nd display to work on. Of course, the obvious benefit to having a 2nd display is an extended workspace, particularly for multitasking purposes. This is where the Lenovo L15 Mobile Monitor comes in with its 15.6-inch IPS, anti-glare display. Also, you can connect either your laptop or your smartphone to this mobile monitor for an extended viewing experience.

In terms of setting it up, it’s as simple as connecting the USB Type-C cable to supported devices. If workstation space is an issue, you can orient the monitor however you wish thanks to its adjustable foot. Also, it’s quite light and easy to carry around, making it the ideal on-the-go 2nd display option.

Prices and availability for these devices are as follows:

Lenovo IdeaPad 5i Chromebook (July 2021), IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook (June 2021); both starting at EUR 399
Lenovo L15 Mobile Monitor (September 2021, starts at EUR 229)

Logitech introduces a dedicated shortcut for ChatGPT

Compatible with most keyboards and mice

Artificial intelligence is already meant to simplify a workflow. However, despite the ease, there are still a few ways to optimize the process. Today, Logitech has launched a new shortcut to launch ChatGPT straight from your mouse or keyboard.

Minus programmable hotkeys or buttons, there are hardly any built-in way to easily access an AI model. For a typical workflow, it still consists of manually opening the model on a separate window and keeping it within cursor’s reach throughout the day.

Logitech is simplifying the process by adding a dedicated shortcut for its devices. With a Logitech keyboard or mouse supported by the Logi Options+ app, users can program a keyboard or mouse button for the new Logi AI Prompt Builder.

Once activated, the AI Prompt Builder automatically accesses easy options for highlighted text. For example, users can easily rephrase or summarize the text. Likewise, they can input their own custom queries. By eliminating a few clicks and some typing throughout the day, the new tool hopes to save you time.

While most Logitech keyboards and mice are compatible with the new tool, it is also more easily accessible with the new Logitech Signature AI Edition Mouse. The new mouse has a dedicated button just for AI prompts. If you’re an AI power user, this one is perfect for you.

Logitech has unveiled its newest heavy-duty gaming keyboard: The Logitech G Pro X 60 Lightspeed gaming keyboard. The latest G Pro series addition is engineered in collaboration with top esports athletes, and promises exceptional performance and precision specifically for gaming.

The gaming keyboard is available in White, Black, and Magenta and retails for PhP 10,955. Customers may also choose between two GX Optical Switches configurations: tactile and linear. These upgraded switches boast faster and more precise actuation, as well as increased durability. The G Pro X 60 has a distinct design, with the keys quite elevated from the keyboard base.

As the model name suggests, the new offering is also the first Logitech product to boast of a 60% keyboard form factor. This portable keyboard allows users to have more space for dynamic mouse movements compared to full-sized keyboards.

The innovative Keycontrol feature, meanwhile, lets users assign up to 15 various shortcuts and combinations per key. Gamers will benefit from being able to tailor the keys specifically to their needs by customizing the keyboard keys with commonly used commands and audio and lighting effects.

The gaming keyboard also comes with Lightsync RGB. Users may choose from about 16.8 million colors and customize each key’s individual color. Connectivity-wise, users may use the keyboard via Bluetooth, USB, and 2:1 pairing with a PRO gaming mouse.
