Professional creators and business IT folk just got a nice upgrade from Lenovo. The company has unveiled a bunch of new ThinkPad devices tailor-made for pros. The list includes beefy Copilot+ PCs, like the ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 AMD and ThinkPad P16s Gen 4 AMD mobile workstations. Lenovo also announced new ThinkPad L Series business laptops and an expansion of its ThinkPad X1 Aura Editions.

“Lenovo is defining the new era of AI computing for professionals with advanced workstation solutions that empower the workflows for people that design and build amazing things,” said Rob Herman, Vice President, Worldwide Workstation and Client AI Business at Lenovo.

” With exceptional performance in a mobile form factor for compute-heavy, AI-driven applications, the newest ThinkPad P series workstations accelerate innovation and productivity.”

ThinkPad P Series Mobile Workstations

Starting at 1.39kg (3.06lbs) and 16.13mm thin, the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s AMD is the thinnest and lightest mobile workstation in Lenovo’s portfolio, while the Lenovo ThinkPad P16s AMD combines premium performance and portability, offering advanced AI experiences for professionals tackling complex workloads on-the-go. Both workstations offer premium performance with AMD Ryzen™ AI PRO 300 Series processors up to Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 with 5.1GHz and 12 cores.
