The newest addition to the Think lineup

ThinkPhone

Lenovo’s ThinkPad and Think line of devices have always been trusted to be secure and solve customer problems with technology. Unveiled at CES 2023, the newest addition to this lineup is both a surprise and kind of a no-brainer — the Lenovo ThinkPhone by Motorola (which, we shall henceforth just call the ThinkPhone).

The ThinkPhone is engineered to bring a business experience to smartphones. Basically, every reason you have to go to a ThinkPad device, has been transferred over to a smartphone form factor. Plus, the ThinkPhone will also work seamlessly with other ThinkPad devices.

Top-notch security

With ThinkPhone, customers will have a complete suite of security and support features backed by ThinkShield.

ThinkShield is Lenovo’s vaunted security platform which has underlying fundamental security policies, features, specialized hardware, software and processes that ensure the security of the entire device.

Organizations can easily deploy ThinkPhones to end users with Zero Touch and manage their entire fleet of ThinkPhones. They can do this through device management solutions like Moto OEMConfig and Moto Device Manager. On paper, it’s the corporate world’s dream phone.

It also has Moto Secure — an app that serves as a hub for items related to security and privacy.
Through this along with Moto OEMConfig or Moto Device Manager, IT administrators can remotely configure Moto Secure features on ThinkPhones. This applies to everything from lock screen settings to network alerts to pin layout scrambling.

The ThinkPhone also comes with Moto KeySafe. It’s a separate processor running on Android that adds an additional layer of security. This better protects the most sensitive data in the smartphone. It isolates PINs, passwords, and cryptographic keys, storing them in a tamper-resistant environment
protecting the data from the inside out.

Think 2 Think

The seamless connection between the ThinkPhone and ThinkPad devices is called Think 2 Think. This connection includes:

  • Instant Connect: Phone and PC seamlessly discover when nearby and connect over WiFi.
  • Unified Clipboard: Seamlessly transfer copied text or recent photos, scanned documents and videos between devices by pasting into any app on the destination device.
  • Unified Notifications: Phone notifications instantly appear on the Windows Action Center. Clicking a notification auto launches the corresponding phone app on the PC’s screen.
  • File Drop: Easily drag and drop files between ThinkPhone and PC.
  • App Streaming: Open any Android application directly on a PC.
  • Advanced Webcam: Take advantage of the powerful ThinkPhone cameras and AI
    capabilities, seamlessly using it as your webcam for all your video calls.
  • Instant Hotspot: Connect to the internet through one click, directly from the PC to
    leverage the ThinkPhone’s 5G connectivity.

If you’re familiar with how iPhones and MacBooks/Macs work together, the Think 2 Think should work exactly like that.

HP CES 2023

At CES 2023, HP has revealed its newest gaming devices: the OMEN 17 laptop and the OMEN 40L and OMEN 25L desktops.

Both these gaming powerhouses are powered by up to 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900K series processors. They also have NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics for 4K visuals.

All new OMEN devices also utilize HP’s OMEN Tempest Cooling Technology. Meanwhile, the OMEN 17 will be the first to feature optical mechanical keys. These are 25 times faster than traditional laptop keyboards.

HP has also introduced cloud gaming through the OMEN Gaming Hub. It offers gamers access to over 1,450 titles.

HP E-series G5 monitors: More immersive experience

Meanwhile, the visual experience is about to be taken to new heights further, with HP’s new E-series G5 monitors which range from the 21.5 to 44.5-inch sizes and are all capable of displaying 4K seamlessly.

The HP E45c G5, in particular, is the world’s first QHD dual curved monitor which showcases a super ultrawide Virtual Dual Display feature.

Essentially, there is just one extra-long monitor instead of two monitors which need to be combined side-by-side to create the ultimate gaming setup.

The M24h and M27h FHD monitors also provide upgraded experiences while coming with improved ergonomics to tailor fit users’ postures and viewing angles.

Poly Voyager Free 60 series

When it comes to accessories, headlining the list is the Poly Voyager Free 60 series wireless earbuds.

It supports up to 24 hours of total playtime on a full charge. Everything is made a breeze too through the Poly Lens mobile app for customizing settings.

For other accessories, there’s the HP 620/625 FHD webcam for Zoom-ready looks on a 1080p camera. It has built-in dual noise-reduction microphones and video features like auto-focus and AI face framing.

The HP 710 rechargeable silent mouse also allows users to work seamlessly. Its compact design features six programmable buttons for 20 custom shortcuts.

Hybrid-fit laptops: Dragonfly, Elite series

Lastly, HP has unveiled the new Dragonfly G4, EliteBook 1040 G10, and Elite x360 1040 G10. These productivity laptops shall benefit users who work in remote setups, physical office spaces, or a combination of both.

All powered by the latest gen processors in the market, here are some of the distinct new features:

  • Multi-Camera Experience: The laptops support dual video streams and camera switching. With it,  users can easily show both themselves and an object or keyboard at the same time, picture-in-picture or side-by-side.
  • Auto Camera Select: Since there are two cameras on each device, this feature uses intelligent face tracking to recognize which camera a user is facing for uninterrupted virtual eye contact.
  • HP Be Right Back: This will enable users to change their video feed to a still feature when taking a break, without having to steal the attention from meetings
  • Intelligent Hibernate, Smart Sense: As users begin to work on their PCs regularly, these study their patterns to optimize performance and even predict what’s next.
