Lenovo introduces Core Ultra-powered laptops and hybrids with a dedicated Copilot key

Lenovo announced several new business laptops and hybrids at this year’s MWC conference, including updates to the ThinkPad T-series and ThinkBook line. The company calls them “computers with artificial intelligence” because they all have a dedicated Microsoft Copilot button that offers instant access to the digital assistant.

The just-announced models include the ThinkPad T14 Gen 5, ThinkPad T16 Gen 3, ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2, and ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 4. These computers are powered by the latest Intel Core Ultra processors, which have come to be expected with the new Lenovo computers.

The ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2 boasts a durable 3:2 display with Corning Gorilla Glass, and it’s all powered by an Intel Core Ultra U processor. You can spec this tablet/laptop hybrid with up to 32GB of RAM for multitasking. The detachable backlit foil keyboard features a three-button TrackPad, and the tablet includes a 5MP front camera and an 8MP rear camera.

The redesigned ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 4 features an ultra-slim 16.85mm profile, which is slightly thinner than the previous generation. It’s also lightweight, weighing just over 3.5 pounds. The 14-inch display boasts a 16:10 aspect ratio, and the keyboard includes a larger touchpad that’s made of Mylar like glass. It also comes with the new magnetic slim stylus for more nuanced touch controls.

In addition to Core Ultra processors and near-instant Copilot integration, the ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 and T16 Gen 3 are built for DIY repairs. The iFixit team was on hand to advise on the overall design, so there are many customer-replaceable parts, making it easy to replace the DIMM, SSD, WWAN card, and battery, among other components. With that in mind, iFixit proactively rated these laptops with a repairability score of 9.3 out of 10. That’s far better than many competing companies’ products.

The ThinkPad T14 Gen 5 goes on sale this April and will be available in several SKUs starting at $950. The ThinkPad T16 Gen 3 also goes on sale this April and will start at $1,220. The ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 2 will be available the same month and will have a starting price of $1,400. Finally, the ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 4 goes on sale this March with a starting price of $1,170.
