It feels like wallets and supply chains are barely recovered from CES, but another wave of exciting announcements is headed our way from Mobile World Congress. Lenovo hasn’t skipped a beat; they are offering a slew of new ThinkPad and IdeaPad laptops to keep you connected for both work and play.

Lenovo has really focused on the importance of being more sustainable in its products. They offer their CO2 offset program, use recyclable packaging, and integrate more post-consumer content (PCC) plastics in their designs.

Now, the company is aiming to integrate PCC into every computer they sell by 2025! They’re also expanding their Lenovo Commercial Vantage application to the new ThinkPad Z, X13, T, and L series, which helps expand the lifespan of the devices and can help reduce unnecessary power consumption.

There’s a lot more to the new ThinkPads, though. Let’s take a look!

Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 Gen 2 and ThinkPad Z16 Gen 2

The Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 Gen 2 and ThinkPad Z16 Gen 2 will sport new AMD Radeon 700m graphics, Windows 11, and up to 2TB of SSD storage.

Both computers will offer up to 13th generation Intel processors, while the regular Gen 4 will also offer AMD processors and optional Eyesafe Certified Natural Low Blue Light technology to keep your eyes from straining when you’re working late (or binge-watching Poker Face on a work trip, we won’t tell anyone).

Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny-in-One Gen 5 Monitor

One of the areas where Lenovo really shines is with modular, small desktop systems. The Lenovo ThinkCentre Tiny-in-One Gen 5 Monitor can handle VoIP audio/visual, along with blue light technology and even a touchscreen with an optional stylus.

These are designed for offices and other places where space and aesthetics both matter, so the idea is that a Tiny desktop can snap right onto the back of the monitor for a modular all-in-one experience.

The monitors also support an ergonomic stand with more lift range, plus a “red light” button that lets someone walking by know the user is on a video call. That way, when your coworker Zoom bombs you, you’ll know they did it on purpose.

ThinkCentre Tiny-in-One Gen 5 Monitors will start at $274 for the 22″ and $294 for the 24″ this August.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook

Finally, if you’re looking for a solid budget choice to keep you connected on the go, there’s the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook. It’s a 14″ screen in a body that comes in at a svelte 2.9 pounds, with up to 13.5 hours of battery life and an FHD touchscreen. There’s also a physical shutter button for the camera, front-facing speakers from Waves MaxxAudio, and a MediaTek Kompanio 500 series processor.

The IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook offers plenty of power without dinging your wallet, as it will start at $340 this May.
