Lenovo ThinkBook and ThinkPad: main differences and usefulness

The ThinkBook and ThinkPad series devices have some, substantial differences. Let’s find out about them in detail.

Laptops, especially in recent years, have become very popular, establishing themselves as a viable alternative to desktop PCs even in contexts where portability is not an indispensable prerogative.

The development of devices that are increasingly powerful and reliable, as well as lightweight and durable, has made laptops an indispensable tool for a wide range of professionals, especially those who need high-performance technological support that is both practical and functional.

Lenovo’s Think family

Lenovo, a leading developer of technology software and hardware, has developed an entire line of devices, the ” Lenovo Thinkfamily,” within which are included laptop PCs, desktop computers, workstations, monitors, and smart and IT security solutions.

Lenovo ThinkPad: main features

The Lenovo ThinkPad family includes a diverse range of devices, each distinguished by distinct technical prerogatives.

The models of the ThinkPad T Series represent the top of the range, not only from a performance point of view (thanks to the IntelCore and AMD processors of the latest generation) but also when it comes to security: the Trusted Platform Module (dTPM) enables secure storage of encryption keys and certificates in digital format.

• First and foremost, the ThinkPad X-Series range differs in being more compact and lightweight, while not sacrificing performance;
• The ThinkPad P-Series, are mobile workstations, equipped with top-of-the-line Intel processors and a graphics card that provide top-notch performance.

The ThinkPad Yoga series, on the other hand, includes 2-in-1 devices equipped with a 360-degree hinge that provide greater flexibility, as they are able to function as both a laptop PC and a tablet.

Completing the ThinkPad range are the L-Series and E-Series models; the former are aimed at business users and are Lenovo’s most sustainable products, made from recycled materials and designed to reduce energy expenditure.

The latter, on the other hand, are mid-range professional notebooks, ideal for corporate or other business uses.
