Dazzle yourself & others
The new design of the Lenovo X1 yoga G3, 20LDS00600 will surely dazzle. The dark black, soft-touch cover and the sleek silver option both include colour-coded hinges. And the 14” display options are bigger and more stunning than ever.
Choose the low-weight touch option with the FHD display. Or go with the dramatic Dolby Vision™ (high-dynamic-range) HDR technology option, which features WQHD 500 nits and 100% colour gamut. As the first PC to include Dolby Vision, our new X1 laptops deliver increased brightness, expanded contrast, amazingly accurate colors, and refined detail. Either way, you get a super-bright display in a narrow-bezel design. And the best part? Minimal impact on battery life!
The new 8th generation Intel® Quad Core™ CPUs boost performance 35% over the previous generation. Memory is even faster too with LPDDR3. What’s more, when you add in the global LTE-A card, you can keep your ThinkPad Lenovo X1 yoga G3, connected with or without WiFi. Plus, if you opt for the IR camera, it includes Glance technology, which merges face-tracking, eye-tracking, and gaze-tracking, resulting in a more intuitive and productive interaction by automatically focusing the cursor and shifting windows with just a move of your eye!
The Lenovo X1 yoga G3, delivers up to 15 hours of battery life. And if you’re running low, the RapidCharge technology provides 80% capacity in just one hour. So a 60-minute lunch break or a layover can easily boost your battery up to 12 hours. What more could a traveler want?
Prepare to be thunderstruck
The Lenovo X1 yoga G3, includes Intel® Thunderbolt™ 3—the technology that brings lightning-fast Thunderbolt to USB-C at speeds up to 40 Gbps. Connect a cable from your USB-C port to a Thunderbolt 3-enabled device, capabilities – all in one port and get four times the data and twice the video bandwidth of any other port type, while also supplying power. So you get Thunderbolt, USB-C, and DisplayPort.
Wise men speak when they have something to say
With Cortana Premium, you can speak commands to your Lenovo X1 yoga G3, 20LDS00600 from 4 metres away. The integrated 360-degree far field microphones ensure your voice carries the weight it’s due. Wake your device with a simple phrase. Quickly and easily find files and calendar events. Even put your system into Modern Standby mode, which improves battery performance. So go ahead and speak your mind and boost your productivity at the same time.
Talk about flexibility!
The innovative Rise and Fall Keyboard on the ThinkPad Lenovo X1 yoga G3, 20LDS00600 adapts to you. When you fold it into Laptop Mode, the keys rise so you can easily create a spreadsheet or write a report. Then when you fold it into itself for Tablet Mode, the keys recess and lock. You get greater comfort and convenience with the completely flat surface.
Flick your finger for privacy
Forgo any concerns about being watched or inadvertently turning on the webcam with the new ThinkShutter. This built-in sliding cover ensures front-facing camera privacy and security when you opt for the HD camera. It’s easy to use and delivers strong protection.
Unleash your creativity
The Lenovo X1 yoga G3, 20LDS00600 includes the ThinkPad Pen Pro, a rechargeable pen. Sketch. Sign documents. Take notes. And never worry about running out of ink or needing batteries. Plus it’s built-in, so you won’t misplace it. Go ahead and create—there are no limits to where your imagination can take you.
Good thing it’s drool-proof
Quickly log in with ease with Windows Hello using just the touch of your finger or the view of your face if you opt for the IR camera. What’s more, the fingerprint reader thwarts biometric hacking with anti-spoofing technology — the fingerprint image is saved inside the chip, so it’s not sent out for authentication when you sign in. Your data is protected too, with the discrete Trusted Platform Module (dTPM), that encrypts your information. And if that’s not enough to make IT administrators love the new X1 Yoga, then the ThinkPad’s FIDO authentication capability is sure to have them drooling. Fast Identity Online — or FIDO — enables hardened authentication that wraps your access info in three layers of security. FIDO authentication protects your online credentials, when you sign in to websites like Facebook or Google, or make payments via PayPal. This global solution creates better security for online services, reduces costs for organisations, and is simpler and safer for users.
