They are a line of business laptops that most people

they have clickers, and webcam shutters, and keyboard nubs.

And most of the time when you buy a ThinkPad,

But today we're looking at a brand new ThinkPad line

that Lenovo is hoping will make the ThinkPad cool

and they're both unlike any ThinkPad we've seen before.

And both of them will be shipping in May.

So Lenovo has tried a couple of different funky things

we've had haptic touch pads and 16-by-10 screens,

and they've experimented with even more features

Not all of which made it to the final form.

This ThinkPad Z series is essentially where Lenovo landed

after seeing which of this year's releases customers liked

The first thing you'll probably notice about the Z series

is that it doesn't really look like a ThinkPad.

Okay, so there is a big logo on it that says, "ThinkPad".

And don't worry, the little red track point is still here,

but this new device comes in three color options.

and there's a blackish recycled vegan leather.

And Lenovo's changed a number of the other features

that have been staples of the ThinkPad line for years.

So if you've ever used, say the ThinkPad X1 Carbon,

you'll know that they famously have the control

and the function keys reversed from where they are

on most keyboards, but they're in their normal location

Most ThinkPads also have half-sized arrow keys,

And Lenovo got rid of the discrete mouse clickers,

which are another famous ThinkPad feature.

in a very visible enclosure like it's literally labeled.

And there's finally, finally a 16-by-10 display

on this device with impressively tiny bezels,

Lenovo says almost its entire portfolio is going

So, what we have here is a device that looks a lot more

like some of the most popular consumer laptops

on the market than it does like a traditional ThinkPad.

Mainly, it's very thin at just over half-an-inch thick.

You're making some trade offs for that thinness though.

There's a bit less keyboard travel on this

than there is on some larger ThinkPads and it's noticeable.

which is probably my least favorite part.

The click was really shallow on the unit I tested.

Lenovo says you'll be able to customize that.

The RAM is also soldered, so you can't upgrade it

There are two USB-C ports on the Z13 and that's it.

That's not a lot that could end up being a deal breaker

for people who need to connect a lot of things.

But the thing I'm most excited about here

And the 16-incher can also include AMD's discrete graphics,

a Lenovo-exclusive Ryzen Pro U-series chip

will be both more powerful and more efficient

we generally expect that higher wattage chips

Lenovo is trying to expand the ThinkPad line

than they do about things like a super-comfortable touchpad,

a useful port selection and a keyboard with lots of travel.
