 That was the door closing. All right, hey everyone. Thanks for coming to check out our PEPCOM booth and checking out some of our latest products that we are announcing at this CES. I'm Kelly Corrigan. I am a product technologist at Lenovo. And I'm gonna be talking a little bit about some of our latest ThinkPad products. And then after that, I will throw it over to my colleague, Michael. And he is gonna show you some of our upcoming consumer products that we're announcing here at CES. So let's just jump into it. So first up, we have an extension of our ThinkPad X1 flagship line. So this is the X1 titanium yoga. Now, this is the thinnest ThinkPad that we have ever launched. If you look straight on, you can see just how thin this is. If I hold up a quarter, again, that kind of demonstrates just how thin of a product this really is. It is built and optimized to be a detachable killer. So this is really meant for somebody who wants the portability of a detachable but doesn't wanna deal with keeping track of a keyboard and where they put it once they actually detach it. So as opposed to being able to detach this, you can flip this around like so. So this is roughly the size of an A4 sheet of paper. So it is built around this 13.5-inch display. So this is a 16 by 10 display screen. And one of the greatest things about this is that you don't have to compromise with the keyboard when it's folded flat. So if I hold it this way here, you can see that there's no gap between the screen and the back of the system there as there would be sometimes when you were using a convertible. So another advantage of the X1 titanium yoga is the optional full-size magnetic pen. So unfortunately, but also kind of fortunately, the X1 titanium yoga is so thin that we wouldn't be able to fit a garage pen on there. So let's see if I can find the magnetic spot. Where is it? So that allows us to actually use a full-size pen with this and it does magnetically attach to the side. Fortunately, I just can't find that right now. Most of our ThinkPads actually have the garage pen in there but that is really meant for more sporadic inking. So because this is a full-sized pen, it is going to be much more comfortable for all day use. And then something else you may be wondering about is, okay, why is this called the X1 titanium yoga? You already have an X1 yoga. What's the deal with that? So it is named the X1 titanium yoga because we have added titanium in the top cover here. So that allows us to be super thin but also keep our ThinkPads systems very rugged as well. And now over here, I have one that is opened up here. And so one of the things that we had to do was we had to engineer the system because it is so thin. Typically with laptops, you have a lot of components inside that stack on top of each other to accommodate for the space in size. But for this, we had to find a way to make it so all of the components are laying side by side instead of being stacked on top of each other. And then lastly, one of the things that we did was we added dual B voice to this product for better voice communication in this work from anywhere environment. So you can very easily tweak your microphone settings to pick up your voice or several voices in the room more clearly. So next up, I have a couple more devices here. These are part of our flagship line that have been redesigned. So this is our X1 carbon and then our X1 yoga. And again, we are moving on to this return to a 16 by 10 screen ratio to add a little bit more verticality to your display. And we were able to do this without any additional weight or thickness to the system. So we added that 16 by 10 panel in there and we've also decreased the systems to a four-sided narrow display. So again, much more usability for the footprint of that system. And on both the carbon and yoga, one of the other things that we've done on both of them is that we've combined the power button as well as the fingerprint reader. So that is something that's going to help simplify the user experience as well as keeping the aesthetics of the system a little bit cleaner. You know, you're only dealing with just one button that logs you all the way in first having to power the system on and then log in on a different button. Now, with the X1 carbon, we've taken advantage of the chassis to support 5G as an option. And we've added this one bar hinge here and that allows us to use that for those 5G antennas but also that allows us to exhaust out the rear of the system for three of the chassis to help with thermal management. And of course, because this is a carbon, you're getting all of the performance that you would expect from ThinkPad. And one of the things about the carbon or the carbon that we're known for is the fact that it has all of your typical ports that you expect from a ThinkPad system in a much slimmer package. And again, this is only 2.5 pounds. So something that's still very slim and lightweight to carry around. And then some of the changes that we made to the X1 yoga in particular, we introduced this new CNC aluminum chassis design a couple of years ago. And we have continued on with this design. So previously we had black keys in here. We've changed that to now have this tonally matched gray keyboard as well. So it just makes it a little bit more overall aesthetic of a system. And then moving on to the X12 detachable. Now you heard me talk a little bit about the X1 titanium and how there people don't want to keep track of the keyboard while detaching it. And while that is something that is very true, there are a very enthusiastic people who prefer this form factor. Now this system is a part of our X series. So it has a much more mainstream price point than our flagship systems such as our X1 series. So this is a 12.3 inch screen and it is optimized around portability. So one of the things that we did to keep this system portable but still functional was that we looked at different footprint sizes that would deliver an ideal keyboard experience while typing. So with this size here, you're not gonna have that sort of cramping while typing experience that you would on a much smaller system. And that's a pain point a lot of people have trying to go for the most portable smallest system that they can. They're really sacrificing that keyboard real estate. But with this, we feel we found a really good balance here with this system. And then of course, if I close that up, you can see the kickstand on here as well. And so that is all I have to say about the X12. Something that we announced this fall, but maybe you didn't get a chance to check out yet, is the X1 Nano. So the X1 Nano is a 13 inch system that weighs only two pounds. And again, we are continuing on with this trend of moving back to that 16 by 10 screen ratio with this system. So it is a part of the Intel EVO platform with a 2K display. And it has all of the performance capabilities that you would expect from ThinkPad just in a much smaller footprint. So right now, if I go over and grab an X1 Carbon here, just to be able to show you the difference in footprint and stack them like so, you can see that the X1 Nano is a much smaller package here and how it is much more compact, but again, still offers that same great ThinkPad performance. There. So that is all from me for now. I am going to turn it over to my colleague, Michael, to talk a little bit about our latest consumer products. Thank you so much. Thank you, Kelly. So for those of you who have just joined, my name is Michael Grimsley. I'm a product technologist with Lenovo. I'm gonna take you through some of our consumer products that we've recently announced. And if you have any questions during this, feel free to put them in the chat or we'll have a short Q&A after this presentation. So feel free to ask after the presentation. So the first product I wanna take you through today is our Yoga AIO7. Now, when you first look at this, you'll notice the fabric cover JBL speakers in the front and the large 27-inch 4K display. Now, this display hits 99% DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB color gamut. So anybody who's concerned with color space, they'll have exactly what they need with this all in one. But my favorite feature about this is the rotatable hinge. So with a simple press of the finger, you can completely rotate this into portrait mode. So whether you're using this for coding or reading a webpage or if you're just gonna cast some content from your phone, it's nice to be able to rotate this into portrait mode and not have to necessarily have a second mod or anything hooked up. Now, when we rotate this around to the sides, and we'll go through a couple of the ports, you can see you have power. You have a few buttons here to control your monitor input settings. And when I rotate it around to the other side, you can see we have headphone jack USB type C, which this all in one will also be able to pair up with say any laptop you connect with it. And you can share content between the hard drives on your laptop and the all in one, if you so choose. While I have it here, I also wanna point out that has a 20 degree tilt. So you can lean this all in one back and get the perfect angle that you want. And when I rotate this around to the back, you'll see a few more of the ports. You got more USB, ethernet, power and a nice clean aesthetic overall for the back of the system. Now, while the Yoga AIO 7 is gonna be a great all in one for the home, it's something that you might not wanna pack up every time you take this to the coffee shop. So for users looking for something more portable, we'll take a look at the idea pad 5G. Now, the idea pad 5G as the name implies is 5G and 4G LTE connectivity. And so I'll always be connected whether you're at home or if there's no wifi, you're always on just like a phone connection. Now, from the top, you'll see the silver colorway, but when I open this up, the first thing you'll notice are the top firing speakers. So what's nice about that is sound is always gonna be directed up and at you. So you don't have to worry about the muffle to pay on the surface it's laying on. And when I close this and take a look at the ports along the side, you'll see you have USB, power, micro or SIM slot rotated around. And you've got two more type C and headphone jack. But what I really wanna point out is that you'll notice this is entirely fanless design. And that's thanks to the Qualcomm 8CX processor. Now, with the Qualcomm 8CX processor, you'll also be able to expect some great battery life overall to the system. And keeping with the theme of affordability, I'm gonna move on to another product here, the Tab P11. Now, the Tab P11 is an 11 inch has 11 inch 2K display and it hits 400 nits. So this is the, when you view content on this, anything's gonna be bright, vivid and crisp. And to match that visual experience, when you look around on the sides, you've got four speakers along the edges and these are optimized with Dolby Atmos. So again, sound is gonna be, you'll have some great sound coming out of this. If you don't have headphones connected or anything like that, you'll have to worry about it. When I rotate this around to the back, you'll notice the aluminum dual tone design. And I think it has a personally, a very classy look overall to it. And speaking of class, I've got a couple of accessories that might interest you if you wanted to use the Tab P11 for school or maybe for work. So the first one is the back soft touch cover back. It has a built-in kick stamp. So that way you can easily set this up right when you're on the go. And the attachable keyboard here. So this attaches via pogo pins, which is great. So if you don't have to worry about pairing or unpairing the Bluetooth connection on the keyboard, you just plug it up and you're ready to go. But if you're more of a rider than a typer, we also have the Lenovo Precision Pen 2 and that hits 4,096 points of pressure sensitivity. So whether you're wanting to use Tab P11 for work or for play, we have you covered on this. The last product I have for you today is something a little bit different. This is the LaVie Mini, is an eight inch laptop. And before I continue, I wanna say that this is a concept prototype device. So we're not gonna have any pricing or availability for this quite yet, but I think it's something interesting on the less. So it's an eight inch laptop here when I open it up. At the top, you've got IR camera for Windows Hello. But inside is where you still have a lot of power. So you have Intel i7 processor. You have 16 gigabytes of dual channel memory and M.2 storage. So despite its size, it still has plenty of power for both productivity and even some light gaming. And part of the reason why I mentioned games is because we have a couple of interesting accessories that go along with the LaVie Mini. The first one is the optional docking station. So all you need to do is simply flip the LaVie around and you can slide it into the dock. Now this allows a convenient way to charge the device, but when you rotate it around, you still have a few extra USB ports, power, and then HDMI that's capable of 4K at 60 frames per second. So if you wanted to use this for your TV, maybe do some light gaming, it's fully capable of connecting up to your home entertainment center. But if you, for an eight inch device, you definitely want to use this for possibly travel. We have another interesting device and that's the optional gaming pad accessory. So you can simply slide the LaVie into this and you have a full game controller here. And it shares a similar layout to many other game controllers you might be familiar with, including your left and right bumpers and triggers. So you don't have to bother about, you know, learning a new format or anything, but if you want to do some gaming on the go, especially on a Windows device, this gives you some options to really get that done. And so that covers the products I have for you today. For now, we'll move on to General Q&A. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them. And then we'll also post up the schedule. So if you missed part of these demos or just want to think everything was so great, you want to see it again, we'll have a schedule up too where you can see the next times for demos. Thank you so much. Thanks, Michael and Kelly. So do we have any questions from the audience? Hi. So I was wondering the 5G idea pad, is there a price on that one? Yes. But you're not there yet. Because as far as I understand, it's an affordable one, right? It's a more affordable 5G laptop. 799 euros. 799, yeah. And that's, I think last year we announced the idea pad flex or yoga 5G, depending I guess in Europe, it's the yoga 5G. And that's roughly double the price. And it's using the 8CX Gen 2 or the Gen 1 or? Gen 1, part of the cost savings. And the X1 Nano, isn't that also a little bit in the family of the Lavi, a little bit the collaboration with NEC to get this super ultra low weight and compact ThinkPad made? Or do you say something about that or? No. The ThinkPad people would be appalled. No, actually, there was no direct collaboration between the NEC Lavi team and on the X1 Nano, but the gentleman who runs both development teams is one person. He's actually based here in North Carolina in our area. So they are overall part of the same development team, but I don't think there was any specific collaboration on those two products. That X1 Nano is hitting a point where it's ultra high performance and like maybe a record like in terms of? They're both Tiger Lake based systems and really small form factors. And the X1 Nano is also shipping now. I mean, the non-touch version is on the market. The touch version will be out not too much longer. I'll personally probably use that system. I think we should have gone to a smaller form. Even smaller. Back to a form factor for a while, personally. But it's still like 13 inch, right? Is the, just the top best? Right, but actually most of the ThinkPad, all the other ThinkPad are 14 and a 13 inch chassis, but they're still, we haven't had a 13 inch panel. I think from maybe the first X1 Carbon, I think it was 13. We haven't had a 13 inch panel for a while. So that helps on the footprint. So the X1 Carbon Gen 8 is very anticipated. Can you explain a little bit more in terms of what's new with the new eighth generation? Well, this would be Gen 9. That's what you just talked about. Let's see. I don't know if somebody else is on the line that's a little more of an expert, but we've gone to a new 16 by 10 panel. But in fact, that's new for starting with the Nano, but also for the X1 Carbon, the X1 Yoga, and let's see, the X1 Titanium doesn't, it's three by two, it's a little bit different. So new panels, I think they've increased the battery capacity a little bit. There's presence detection. I'm trying to think what else, I don't know if anybody else is looking at the info. I guess the latest Intel is bringing the latest Intel performance, right? And on those new ones. Yeah, I think part of the embargo for today is based on the V Pro version of the platform. But yeah, they're all like Tiger, like across the board. And X1 Titanium has the same performance just in the Titanium build? Yeah, I don't think, I mean, we haven't run any numbers here yet and I haven't looked at what the development team has. I mean, that remains to be seen. It's much thinner chassis, right? So there's cooling and so on and so forth. So I can't say, yeah, exactly the same. So we get there, so they're quite different in terms of the thickness. I don't know whether you guys have the, what do the other guys on the Lenovo team have the dimensions of carbon versus titanium? Yeah, the carbon is about 17.7 millimeters thick and then the titanium is 11.5 millimeters. So it's a good 25% thinner. So as Jeff said, the reasonable expectation is for there to be a little bit less thermal headroom than the titanium. I guess it's the material of the titanium that's very optimal and very high performance and good for cooling and everything. I guess that's one of the properties, right? Of titanium material. I think the main property is the durability of titanium and the weight. Those are the big ones. I think as far as a whole X1 lineup, we've been able to perfect that, the thermals on just the carbon fiber, hybrid materials. So we've done a really good job with that already. And then the titanium just has on another layer of uniqueness and yeah. And part of the philosophy behind the titanium is as Sam says to have that protective titanium layer on top because we're super thin. Why be super thin or why still have the X1 yoga so on and so forth. What we're trying to achieve with that product is another, an alternative to the detachable, meaning while we're announcing a detachable form factor today, which also gives us the flexibility to offer people tablet only or attaching the keyboard. We find that most people in the marketplace that use detachables never take the keyboard off, right? That's always connected. And so the titanium is in some way a building on that. And because it uses the 3.2 screen ratio because it mirrors piece of paper, right? So all the other convertibles or yoga form factor so far today, people say that's great, I agree to have flexibility, but to actually use as a platform for pen all the time it could either be too thick or too heavy. If when you get a chance to look at it closely, a lot of 2-in-1s have kind of that duck bill form factor when you connect the two, the titanium is completely flat. So it's not just to be thin for the sake of being thin, but to offer a specific customer solution. As far as the differences going back to your questions about the carbon and so on and so forth, I probably can send you a table that shows the gen eight and then gen nine with what the differences are. Either I answered your question, you're very excited or you don't believe it. No, no, I'm excited, I'm just thinking maybe there's some other people also wanting to ask questions, right? Maybe. How about Lavi, is it just a demo that you're showing like this or it's actually really being launched? I mean, it's going to be available because it looks quite spectacular with all these gaming features and everything. So NEC and the Lavi line clearly comes out of Japan, right? And if you looked at some of the way the keyboard was laid out and then use of the round keys and then the track pad, there was a touch sensor, not unlike the old BlackBerry days. That's a real, it's being designed in Japan, that they're really looking heavily at that market for that product. How widespread it'll come, it remains to be seen, but right now we don't have, the early second launch would be it'd be over six months from now. So we don't have any pricing or availability and so on and so forth, but you're right, it's pretty far along. And how about the X12? What's the thinking in, why is it called the X12? Is it the same family as the X1 with the two added on top? Okay, so I think it's been, we used to have a product called the ThinkPad X1 tablet, right, but we have not, now we've continued to sell it, we have not revved that product for a couple of years. So, and it's the detachable form factor made popular by Microsoft Surface and so on and so forth. And though they dominate that part of the market, actually it's a very tiny part of the actual sales of laptops or two-in-ones or detachables. So we haven't invested a lot in that form factor, obviously for the last couple of years, but we have brought it back because it does serve some part of the market. Some people want that form factor, but they're also very interested in tablet only scenarios with no keyboard and so on and so forth. So, you know, based on demand and we thought it was the right time to kind of reimagine that product and bring it to market. Like I said earlier in regards to the titanium, that was in response to the fact that people never take the keyboard off. Well, for those people who want to or must because they're doing some sort of walking around pen only application, that's what that product's for. And we didn't follow on with the same naming of X1 tablet because we wanted to make it very clear it wasn't a tablet only solution that it was detachable. And that all in one, it flips up like this. Is it a consideration that some people might have multiple screens and maybe they could combine that with a 4K display on their desktop or something and they might have one that's upright for Twitter. Something like that. Yeah, well, good. If you could see behind me and behind this fake wall that I have, you would see there are some setups where people have done exactly what you're talking about where they have their main display landscape and then they have a, because that's a natural way to read, right? And that's the way web pages are laid out and so on and so forth. And then I'm not the target audience to appreciate this but there's also been a lot of talk of it being a good fit for TikTok videos and so on and so forth. Right, Jordan? She's on mute but she's a TikTok creator just so you know how she's laughing. Oh, Jeff, put me on the spot here. Well, I'm doing all the talking so I figured they'd rather hear from someone else. Hey, Ross. Hey, Jeff. I was wondering why you didn't ask me about TikTok but you know, it's okay. We're all friends. I was building up to it. Is that your one? Oh, it is. Yeah, I just want to say hi to everybody. Oh, not a Lenovo cup. Ross. We can work on that if you want to. I don't think we sent any out which might be a good idea. Did we lose Ross? No, no, I'm still here. Okay. So on the 5G idea pad I think is, so you guys have already, you already did a 5G yoga. So what is, and you know, that was a convertible so it works pretty well as a clamshell. So what's some of the thinking after doing a lot of avant-garde, you know, a couple of avant-garde 5G designs going to a traditional clamshell? Anybody else want to take that one or I mean, it's pretty simple. It's cost and that I was telling one of the other folks on the call earlier. I don't have US pricing. There's European pricing, but it's roughly half the cost. Oh, wow. Of the, I think you when you looked at it was the flex 5G and then Europe and yoga 5G and so on and so forth. So it's all about affordability, accessibility and kind of starting to start to create a stack. A lot of the think pads that we were just talking about X1 carbon, X1 yoga, titanium, not that that's all 5G capable as well and the X1 Nano from a couple of months ago. So we're just trying to start to propagate that across form factors, but also at different price points as well. Is, do you see that one going through carrier distribution as well or is it unlocked or Yeah, I guess I would have to ask. Typically in a mea course is a much bigger attach rate for broadband in general. My guess is that it would go through carriers there. That's usually kind of a more arduous task here in the US, the carrier certifications and so on and so forth. There aren't any public US plans for it now. So my guess would be it would probably start on like linodo.com or something in an unlocked basis unless they swing some deal. It's sub six, so it's not a horizon. Okay, that's the deal. The idea pad 5G is a yoga style with touch and everything also, right? Is a, or isn't it? I don't think it's a convertible. And I think it has a touch, but it's a 360. Have you guys been to any of the other booths in PEPCOM? What other booths? Good answer, Ross. Should be linodo.com or PEPOLO or something. PEPOLO. I just wondered if there was anything else interesting, but also, you know, the technology wise, we tried to up our game from last time where we just logged in the Zoom and you know, be able to actually do, try and do some actual product demos. Yeah, so we're gonna answer a couple more questions and then let our technologists take a quick, break and we'll come back at three o'clock. Our next round of demos will be at 315. So if you've missed them, if you've just logged on and you want to go take a look at what else is PEPCOM's offering with some of the other exhibitors and come back at 215 for the next round of demos. We'd love to have you back. Okay.
