Global innovation and technology leader Lenovo launches the ThinkBook 14 and ThinkBook 15 laptops in the Philippines specifically for today’s young and digitally-inclined professionals who seek the perfect balance between high-end specifications and premium aesthetics in work devices.
According to a recent study commissioned by Lenovo and conducted by Forrester Consulting[1] on workplace transformation, today’s millennials and Gen Z workers largely consider the appearance and material of work laptops as features they value most. Moreover, it was revealed that they desire devices that complement their personality and offer smartphone-like experiences.
With the two age groups now making up nearly 60% of the new workforce[2], Lenovo developed the ThinkBook to include in-demand features such as the collaboration tools required to remain agile, the durability to handle work on-the-go, enhanced connectivity, AI-based technology, and enterprise-level support for greater peace of mind.
“The ThinkBook 14 and 15 combine standout performance and sophisticated design in one neat package. Designed for optimum productivity, these devices are built to keep up with the demands of the modern workplace. With Lenovo, we want you to work smarter—not harder,” said Michael Ngan, General Manager, Lenovo Philippines.
The Think brand has been known for their go-to business devices and was traditionally designed for big enterprises. With the new ThinkBook line, Lenovo is offering small and medium businesses as well as entrepreneurs a professional level device that is both stylish and powerful.
Both the ThinkBook 14 and ThinkBook 15 offer full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution anti-glare IPS panels, with the screens bendable up to 180°, making it easy to collaborate and share. They come with narrow bezels, promising a screen-to-body ratio of 80% and up, leaving plenty of room for work which means less distractions for the user.

Both laptops are also MIL-SPEC-tested, making them durable enough to withstand the rigors of everyday business use and other conditions such as water spills and extreme high or low temperatures.
The ThinkBook 14 and 15 have several pre-loaded features designed to boost productivity. With an integrated fingerprint reader on the Smart Power Button, users can log in or boot up instantly just like on a smartphone. Furthermore, Skype calls can be made or dropped by clicking designated Business Hot Keys.
