Continuing with the launches of the CES 2015, now we have to review some of the novelties of Lenovo, which has managed to become the largest and most successful PC maker on the market, even at a time when others have not done so well.

In fact, along with announcing the renewal of its ThinkPad line, Lenovo also tells us that they already accumulate sales of more than 100 millions of laptops for that range. A complete success that they now seek to consolidate by launching new editions of their different devices, starting with the iconic ThinkPad X1 Carbon, which receives the new fifth-generation Intel Core processors generation and increases the display resolution of the entry model to Full HD (from the 1600 x 900 previously offered).

The 2015 model of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon once again incorporates independent buttons on the trackpad, at the request of users. "

Also, the improved storage unit, making use of SSD PCIe technology to Get faster data transfer speeds. It also fixes some aspects of the previous generation that left some users dissatisfied, such as the use of integrated buttons on the trackpad, and a row of adaptive keys>Lenovo has listened to criticism of such changes, giving Consequently, a twist towards the classic by restoring the physical buttons on the trackpad and the F1-F12 keys. These changes have also been applied to all other computers in the ThinkPad 2015 range."

All these changes are achieved without altering the light and thin of the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, which still weighs 1.27 kilograms and has about 18 millimeters thick thanks to its carbon fiber structure.According to Lenovo, the 2015 edition of this equipment will go on sale this January worldwide.

Lenovo also announces the launch of the ThinkPad X250, the successor to the ThinkPad x240 that seeks to position itself in the segment of small ultrabooks, offering a thickness of 20mm and a weight of 1.3 kilograms.

In addition to this, the ThinkPad X250 includes the PowerBridge feature that allows you to change the external battery of the computer without having to turn it off (this is achieved thanks to the inclusion of an internal battery, which provides power during that time). In this way, it can be easily changed to a 6-cell battery with which, according to official data, we should have a autonomy of up to 20 hours

Like all other ThinkPads launched at CES 2015, the X250 features a fifth-generation Intel Core processor, a i7, to be exact.
