Lenovo is one of the biggest brands showcasing at CES 2020 and one of our CES partners. The company has given us early access to its announcements and they’re revealing five devices designed and made for creators. As the internet has grown so has the creators landscape. Photographers, videographers, YouTuber’s, bloggers, and writers everywhere rely on devices like these to get their work done.
Lenovo has the vision to enable smarter technology for a more creative world and they have a handful of devices to choose from to help you get that done. Between two super-portable laptops, a powerful desktop tower, and two high-definition 27″ monitors these devices will get the job done and more.
Recent global research reveals over 200 million PC-based creators tackle their creative pursuits on a PC at least once a week. These are consumers who enjoy photography, digital storytelling, and dabbling with creative software tools and cool equipment—not necessarily paid professionals, graphic artists, and moviemakers. This special prosumer group of hobbyists, freelancers, and social media buffs inspired Lenovo to originate its new Creator series of Windows 10 PCs and monitors that are unveiling at CES.
Each device comes specially stamped as part of Lenovo’s Creator Edition and is designed to help writers, artists, and designers collaborate and use technology to create their next masterpiece while offering the high-performance productivity tools needed for a day job. Plus, the latest version of Lenovo Vantage software offers a unique user experience tailored to creators with relevant content plus exclusive deals. Artists can pin the Digital Content Creators dashboard to their taskbar to easily jump to their active Adobe design apps.
