Lenovo is bringing their new sustainable ThinkPad Z series to Malaysia. The new lineup marries performance, sustainability and cutting-edge design into a sleek form factor. The new laptop takes on a new, more contemporary design philosophy which uses sustainably sourced and recycled materials and provides a premium experience overall.
Powerful Performance with AMD Advantage
The new ThinkPad Z lineup comes in two sizes: the compact and portable ThinkPad Z13 and the powerful ThinkPad Z16. The Z13 is built for portability while the Z16 packs a power-packed combination of AMD’s Ryzen PRO-6000 processors and the AMD Radeon 6500M graphics card. The ThinkPad Z13 also comes with AMD’s Ryzen PRO-6000 processors with an added option for the Ryzen 7 PRO 6860Z – a processor designed exclusively for the ThinkPad Z13. The processor is developed collaboratively between AMD and Lenovo to be optimised specifically for the ThinkPad Z13. These processors are also the first commercially available with Microsoft’s Pluton security processor for an added layer of security and hardening for Windows 11 PCs.
The ThinkPad Z16 is an AMD Advantage laptop with performance that is bound to benefit from the Ryzen and Radeon combination. With AMD’s Smart Shift technology, the CPU and GPU are able to dynamically adapt to shifting workloads. Their algorithms allow them to adapt to and prioritize workloads so that video editing, graphical editing and even gaming are seamless and smooth with AMD’s Infinity Control Fabric. This allows the processor to prioritise memory and processing power to ensure optimal performance.
Designed for Sustainability & Functionality
The ThinkPad Z series is designed to be minimal and sleek but stays true to the ThinkPad ethos. It keeps functionality and productivity front and centre. The signature TrackPoint makes a comeback in the ThinkPad Z series with thoughtful updates. You’ll be able to double tap the TrackPoint to launch a new Communications Quick Menu to access common settings for the camera and microphone. It also comes with added customizability. The Haptic ForcePad is also the largest on a ThinkPad so far. The ThinkPad Z16 comes with a 120mm wide Haptic ForcePad which provides added durability and functionality.
The ThinkPad Z series also has the slimmest bezels in the ThinkPad series. The Z13 comes with a 91.6% screen-to-body ratio while the Z16 comes with an impressive 92.3% screen-to-body ratio. The slim bezels provide an even more immersive viewing experience from their 16:10, QHD+ displays. The Z13 comes with a 13.3-inch 2.8K display while the Z16 comes with a 16-inch 4K display. Both have options for OLED panels. The displays support Dolby Vision and emit lower levels of blue light.
In addition to this, the laptops are made of 75% post-consumer recycled aluminium and come in packaging that is made of 100% bamboo and sugar cane. There is also an option for PET leather. This makes them one of the more sustainable laptops available right now.
