As is tradition every start of the year, CES 2023 is just around the corner. However, some companies just can’t wait to unveil their latest products. Ahead of the annual conference, Lenovo has announced a slate of products to whet its fans’ appetites.

ThinkPad X1 series

With a plan to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, Lenovo focused a lot on making the ThinkPad series more sustainable. Besides the plastic-free packaging, the three new devices will feature 90 percent recycled magnesium and aluminum.

Armed with latest Intel Core processors, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 11 will have up to 64GB of LPDDR5, up to 2TB SSD of internal storage, and an Intel Iris X GPU. It will also have a 57 Whr battery and will only weigh 2.48lbs.

Meanwhile, the Yoga Gen 8 model will carry the same specs but will naturally come with the flexible hinge for more portability.

Finally, the smaller ThinkPad X1 Nano Gen 3 will have 16GB of RAM, up to 2TB of SSD storage, and an Intel Iris X GPU. It will also have a slightly smaller 49.6 Whr battery.

All three devices will come out in April 2023 and will start at US$ 1,649.

IdeaPad 5 series

The IdeaPad lineup will also get some love this holiday season. The IdeaPad Pro 5i, in particular, will come with up to a next-gen Intel Core i7 processor, up to 32GB of RAM, up to 1TB of internal storage, and a NVIDIA GeForce GPU. It will also come with a 75 Whr battery.

Meanwhile, the IdeaPad Slim 5i comes with similar specs but only up to 16GB of RAM and an Intel Integrated GPU. The IdeaPad Slim 5 will come with up to Ryzen 7 7730U processor, up to 16GB of RAM, up to 1TB of internal storage, and an Intel Integrated GPU.

Finally, the IdeaPad Flex 3i will come with an Intel Processor N200, a NVIDIA GeForce GPU, up to 8GB of RAM, and up to 128GB of internal storage. Its battery will last up to 12 hours on a single charge.

All devices will come in May 2023. The IdeaPad Pro 5i starts at US$ 1,499.99. The Slim 5i starts at US$ 749.99. The Slim 5 starts at US$ 649.99. The IdeaPad Flex 3i sells for US$ 349.99.

There’s been much ado about the NVIDIA RTX Spark. By now, you’ve probably heard a lot about the upcoming reinvention of PCs. But, as a regular consumer, it’s hard to visualize just how this revolution looks like. Thankfully, in NVIDIA’s demo suites, a few manufacturers got to showcase their take on an RTX Spark notebook. And all of them are coming out in the fall.

ASUS ProArt P14 and P16

Unfortunately, none of these brands could share comprehensive details about their laptops beyond a promise for raw power. All of these models aren’t the final version yet.

However, just from what we can tell, these notebooks do feel different from the standard fare of laptops today. For one, they are deceptively heavier. Though all of the OEMs promise a much thinner profile, they’re either packing a lot of tech inside or are using denser materials for their chassis. But again, these are engineering units, so who knows how heavy these things will actually be?

Secondly, based on NVIDIA’s demos, they can do a lot of heavy lifting. NVIDIA says that these superchips are meant for developers and creators, but gamers will also find joy in their performance. DLSS 4.5, in particular, feels like a true revolution in terms of graphics.

Thankfully, fall isn’t too far away. If you can wait, the next evolution of PCs is just around the corner.
