PRICE £1,500 (£1,800 inc VAT) from lenovo.com
While we’re still waiting for business-focused Copilot+ PCs from Dell, HP and Microsoft, Lenovo has rushed to the corporate buyer’s aid by producing a ThinkPad version. Not that it’s jumped in too aggressively, as for the moment you can only buy the precise specification on review here.
Fortunately, it’s a very tempting mix. For £1,500 exc VAT, you get the 12-core Snapdragon X1E-80-100 chip, which sits second in Qualcomm’s pecking order behind the X1E-84-100 in the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge (see p53). A little surprisingly, Lenovo has chosen 32GB rather than 16GB to support it, with a 1TB SSD for storage. It’s a fast disk, too, hitting 6,191MB/sec sequential reads in CrystalDiskMark and 4,809MB/sec writes.
Anyone who fears that this laptop won’t…
