Lenovo has released a refreshed portfolio of ThinkPad devices that includes Copilot+ PCs, such as the ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 AMD and ThinkPad P16s Gen 4 AMD mobile workstations, alongside new ThinkPad L Series business laptops and expands its ThinkPad X1 Aura Editions.

“Lenovo is defining the new era of AI computing for professionals with advanced workstation solutions that empower the workflows for people that design and build amazing things. With exceptional performance in a mobile form factor for compute-heavy, AI-driven applications, the newest ThinkPad P series workstations accelerate innovation and productivity,” said Rob Herman, Vice President, Worldwide Workstation and Client AI Business at Lenovo.

“The latest ThinkPad L series portfolio reflects how we design for the real needs of business users — from creative professionals and knowledge workers to remote teams and large enterprises. Whether you need mobile workstation power or scalable productivity, Lenovo is delivering the flexibility and intelligence required to thrive in the AI era,” said Tom Butler, Vice President, Commercial Portfolio and Product Management, Lenovo Intelligent Devices Group.

The latest additions to the Lenovo ThinkPad P series are targeted at emerging AI-centered workflows. 

Starting at 1.39kg (3.06lbs) and 16.13mm thin, the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s AMD is the thinnest and lightest mobile workstation in the company's portfolio, while the Lenovo ThinkPad P16s AMD combines premium performance and portability, offering advanced AI experiences for professionals  tackling complex workloads, the companyt says. Both workstations offer AMD Ryzen AI PRO 300 Series processors up to Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 with 5.1GHz and 12 cores. These processors deliver up to 50 NPU TOPS, enabling AI-accelerated productivity and multitasking for mobile professionals.

The ThinkPad P14s and P16s are built for the CAD and BIM workloads of engineers and architects, as well as educators and students in these fields. Powered by AMD “Zen 5” technology and integrated graphics built on the AMD RDNA 3.5 architecture, these new P series workstations provide enhanced performance for complex engineering and creative workloads with robust battery life, the company says. 

The ThinkPad P14s and P16s are Copilot+ PCs, designed to optimize AI-powered workflows with increased performance and extended battery life. They also feature a unified memory architecture that allows for flexible memory allocation between the CPU and GPU. This allows up to 75% of the system memory to be dedicated to the GPU, providing exceptional responsiveness and seamless multitasking for graphics-intensive tasks. In addition, the graphics driver is certified by ISVs for key industry applications providing optimal performance, with essential stability and reliability.

Other features in the new workstations include:

  • Enhanced collaboration features, including 5MP RGB+IR cameras and Dolby Atmos audio with Elevoc® noise suppression.
  • Support for Wi-Fi 6E/73, optional 4G LTE4, and dual Thunderbolt 4 ports.
  • More customer-replaceable (CRU) components, enabling easier repairs and extended life cycles (CRU battery, keyboard, WWAN, speakers, and fan depending on the model).
  • Accessibility and design enhancements, such as tactile keyboard markings, plastic-free packaging, and use of recycled materials in select parts5.
  • Built-in software tools like Lenovo Commercial Vantage, which allows users to personalize and manage device settings, and Lenovo View, which uses AI to enhance video calls with features like auto-framing, background blur, and eye contact correction.
  • ThinkShield security features, offering BIOS-level protections, secure wipe, and integrated privacy controls to help safeguard sensitive data and ensure enterprise-grade security.

Lenovo has also redesigned the ThinkPad L13 Gen 6 and L13 2-in-1 Gen 6, offering both traditional clamshell and convertible 2-in-1 formats. The refreshed chassis features a smaller footprint, cleaner lines, and an up to 84.7% screen-to-body ratio that contributes to a more immersive visual experience, the company says. A new communication bar integrates a 5MP + IR camera, with an additional world-facing camera on select 2-in-1 models to support content capture and collaboration on the move.

Key enhancements include:

  • Brighter display options, with 400 nit panels for improved visibility in variable lighting environments.
  • Lightweight design, with 50% recycled aluminum used in the top cover for a modern and more sustainable form factor.
  • New port layout and expanded connectivity, including dual Thunderbolt 4, USB-A, HDMI 2.1, and optional Smart Card reader.
  • Onboard garaged pen with the L13 2-in-1 Gen 6 is ideal for notetaking and sketching. 

The updated ThinkPad L14 Gen 6 and ThinkPad L16 Gen 2 are available with the latest Intel and AMD platforms, and are designed to scale with business needs — offering a broad range of configurations, screen sizes, and feature sets ideal for large rollouts or role-specific customization.

Key enhancements include:

  • Brighter display panels for enhanced visibility in various environments.
  • Expanded platform availability with extensive configurations available. 
  • Performance Options with a Smarter Edge
  • The ThinkPad L Series continues to offer customers a choice of platforms from Intel and AMD, including the latest processor generations:
  • Intel Core Ultra 200U and 200H series processors and Intel vPro.
  • Up to AMD Ryzen AI PRO 300 Series mobile processors.

According to Lenovo, all models benefit from improved performance and efficiency, with select configurations of the ThinkPad L14 Gen 6 and L16 Gen 2 featuring AMD Ryzen AI PRO 300 Series mobile processors. These Copilot+ PCs are equipped with a high-performance NPU capable of up to 50 TOPS, delivering enhanced on-device AI experiences on Windows 11.

Across the portfolio, the ThinkPad L14 Gen 6 and L16 Gen 2 models support up to 64GB of memory and up to 2TB of SSD storage, while the more compact ThinkPad L13 Gen 6 and L13 2-in-1 Gen 6 support up to 32GB of memory and up to 1TB of SSD storage. 

Lenovo is also adding configuration options to its premium portfolio with the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 Aura Edition and ThinkPad X1 2-in-1 Gen 10 Aura Edition, now available with the latest Intel Core Ultra 200U and 200H processors and Intel vPro. 

Both devices feature ultra-light chassis, high screen-to-body ratios, and intelligent collaboration features powered by Lenovo View and Dolby Atmos audio. With the addition of new processor options, users benefit from improved responsiveness and power efficiency, while IT teams retain the security and manageability features expected from Lenovo’s flagship ThinkPad X1 family, the company says.
