Hao Zhang, Chief Product Officer of Think, said: "As a new AI PC from Lenovo AI Ready, ThinkPad X1 Carbon AI focuses on two major office scenarios: general office and professional creation, creating time for you and making your work more efficient, easier, more interesting, and safer. ThinkPad X1 Carbon AI will not only be your office partner, but also will continue to upgrade itself as AI grows, and eventually become your personal AI assistant. ”
For general office scenarios, ThinkPad X1 Carbon AI helps users greatly improve work efficiency through the application of four major technologies: knowledge management, content creation, office services, and device management. In terms of knowledge management, it can deeply learn the user's browsing habits and work content, gradually build a personalized knowledge base, and quickly provide the information and data that users urgently need. In terms of content creation, AI models can be used to quickly produce high-quality materials, helping to transform ideas into visible results in an instant. In terms of office services, the new AI intelligent meeting can not only take care of all the work of writing meeting emails, sending meeting invitations, and writing meeting minutes, so that the speaker can become the "protagonist" of the meetingThrough AI intelligent noise reduction based on voiceprint recognition, the voice of each participant can be clearly transmitted in noisy environmentsAnd it has the function of "meeting temporary clone", which can take into account some moments when participants have to leave, continue the meeting on the screen through the ad hoc meeting clone, and automatically generate meeting minutes during the clone after the participants return to the meeting. In terms of device management, AI automatically optimizes performance and optimizes background applications to keep your computer in the best possible condition.
For professional creation scenarios, ThinkPad X1 Carbon AI subverts traditional creation methods and makes content creation efficiency reach an unprecedented level through four innovative applications: professional text creation, professional audio and video creation, professional graphic creation, programming, and editing. In terms of professional text creation, ThinkPad X1 Carbon AI allows users to turn into a writer with a thousand faces in a second through the cloud and local AI models, and easily control various literary stylesIn terms of professional graphic creation, AI adapted to 3D professional software ensures that users can quickly get started with professional tools and complete the efficiency of "speaking" that is, "drawing".In terms of professional audio-visual creation, AI can not only learn composition skills from massive data, but also generate works of different styles and feelings according to the preferences and emotions of the arranger, making it more soulful and charmingIn terms of code editing, it can take into account multiple tasks such as writing, translation, annotation, completion, and refactoring, and provide practical intelligent suggestions and solutions for compilers.
The ThinkPad X1 Carbon AI boasts 3A-OLED 28K Ultimate screen, using Lenovo's exclusive "three proof" technology (AG anti-glare, AR anti-reflective, AS anti-stain). Anti-glare technology ensures that the computer screen is clearly visible under strong lightAnti-reflective technology eliminates distractions in front of the screen, always delivering ultra-clear details for a pristine visual experienceAnti-stain technology makes the screen resistant to stains and fingerprints effectively. With a new ultra-narrow bezel design, the screen-to-body ratio reaches 89%, allowing users to have a great picture and display field of view when creating AI.
In addition, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon AI Security Privacy Center protects confidential data at all times. The fuselage has a built-in 57whr large-capacity 850 high-density battery, with the newly upgraded PSR20 and intelligent scheduling, with up to 16 hours of local battery life, so that users no longer worry about power. Full-time connected LTE allows you to surf the Internet quickly without connecting to a hotspot. Aircraft-grade carbon fiber and magnesium alloy material, both light and tough, as thin as 1496mm, as light as 111kg, easy to carry to and from work, 180 degrees open and close can be competent for a variety of mobile office needs. Passed 12 rigorous tests (low temperature, high temperature, dust, humidity, vibration, etc.) according to MIL-STD-810H standard to ensure stable operation in harsh environments.
