LENOVO unveiled a lighter, quicker ThinkPad notebook computer yesterday to appeal to customers who like the convenience of tablets and smartphones.
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon will go on sale later this month, the Chinese computer maker said.
Lenovo Group acquired the ThinkPad brand with IBM Corp's personal computer unit in 2005. Lenovo passed Dell Inc last year to become the second-largest PC manufacturer after Hewlett-Packard Co.
The latest ThinkPad has third-generation wireless connectivity and other features inspired by tablets and smartphones, said Dilip Bhatia, vice president of the ThinkPad business unit. He said it was in response to demands by customers who want a tablet's convenience but need a notebook's wider range of functions.
"They want faster. They want thinner," Bhatia said.
Lenovo shaved the laptop's weight to 1.3 kilograms from the 1.7 kilograms of last year's model, said Bhatia. He added it would have up to eight hours of battery life and the startup time was under 20 seconds.
