IFA 2019 is less than a week away and we will be on the ground to check out the event for the first time. But rather than wait for the event, Lenovo is already making a slew of announcements. Just a few days ago the company revealed their new ThinkPad line for 2019 and now they’ve taken the wraps off their consumer portfolio.
Lenovo is concentrating on making their consumer portfolio “smarter” at accessible price points for mainstream shoppers. Let’s have a look at the new consumer lineup and some of its “intelligent features” that are coming to IFA 2019.
When the personal devices we rely on to keep us connected, entertained and more productive get smarter, it might be the added convenience that’s noticed first. By engineering loads of seamlessly intuitive, adaptive features that add more value for people and saves them precious time, smart products are improving the quality of life and wellbeing for people the world-over in simple ways.
Technology that’s innovative yet fits your needs and budget1, versus the other way around—that’s how Lenovo is bringing its vision of ‘smarter technology for all’ to life. Here’s what show-goers can look forward to seeing in action at Tech Life, Lenovo’s annual holiday showcase event.
13″ IdeaPad S540
