Lenovo announces Thinkpad 13, available in Chrome OS or Windows flavor
Lenovo has expanded its X1 series with a new ThinkPad X1 tablet featuring modular design along with ThinkPad X1 Yoga with OLED display, and a slimmer ThinkPad X1 Carbon.

The Lenovo X1 Tablet seems to be aimed at folks preferring an added level of portability and Lenovo still tends to the traditional high end computing needs with the ThinkCentre, an all-in-one desktop bundled with the ThinkVision X1 Monitor. The X1 Tablet retails for $899 and will be available starting in February.
The ThinkPad X1 starts as an 8.4 mm thin, 1.75-pound that fattens to 13mm and 2.4 pounds total when you attach the included keyboard. It is the world’s first convertible featuring an optional Samsung OLED display. With a patented Lift and Lock keyboard that retracts keys in tablet mode, X1 Yoga also features an active pen that is ideal for highlighting and writing notes directly on webpages using the Microsoft Edge browser.
The X1 Yoga starts at $1,499 (Rs 1,00,000 approximately), and will be available this month, while the X1 Carbon starts at $1,299 (Rs 86,000 approximately), and will be available next month. Rounding out the trio is the updated ThinkPad X1 Carbon, which tips the scales at 2.6 pounds. The Productivity Module will be available starting February from $149, while you’ll have to wait until May for the Projector Module (from $279) and the 3D Imaging Module (from $149).
The X1 comes with a 2,160 x 1,440-pixel display, USB Type-C ports and optional 1TB hard drive and LTE support. The display is 12-inches at 2160×1440 resolution and the processor is an Intel Core m7 vPro. Following last year’s return to form by bringing back the classic TrackPoint and tactile trackpad buttons, the 2016 X1 Carbon is pushing forward with a hardware refresh and the addition of wireless docking compatibility.
With the new X1 products, which include the X1 Carbon laptop, Lenovo wants to change staid PC designs. Those features largely are due to add-on modules – the productivity module adds 5 hours of battery life and some ports, while the Presenter module adds a projector and the 3D imaging module allows for capturing objects. The keyboard and tablet together weigh just 2.4 pounds (1.1 kg) and measure just 0.51 inch (13 mm) thick.
The ThinkCentre X1 features a 23.8-inch full HD screen, and users can configure the desktop with up to Intel’s Skylake Core i7 processor, 1TB SSHD or 512GB SSD and 16GB DDR4 RAM.
Some of the tablet’s more notable features is a 15-hour battery life, as well as a projector, and a 3D camera. They also have the flat, rechargeable ThinkPad X1 Wireless Touch Mouse that features capacitive touch scrolling and, better yet, keeps the ThinkPad aesthetic going.

Other accessories include Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 In Ear Headphones ($69, £46, AU$94) that supports Dolby Audio System tuning and a cord wrap as well as a diminutively small ThinkPad 65W Micro Adapter ($80, £54, AU$109), which will help reduce the weight of your gear bag since you don’t need to carry a large power brick for travel.
