Lenovo mesmerizes with new laptop lineup
Apart from its smartphones and tablets, Lenovo’s most famous products have always been ThinkPads and IdeaPads, and they showcased some of the upcoming models of 2023 at the Mobile World Congress.
The company has introduced multiple models for 2023 and gave information beforehand in a press release. There are important hardware updates and refreshes on both lineups, but most importantly, Lenovo has improved the sustainability of one of its models. The company has produced a new plant-based laptop shell and plastic-free biodegradable packaging. Lenovo’s aim is to lessen the environmental outcomes when a laptop is purchased.
Brand new plant-based cover for ThinkPad Z series
The most interesting news is surely the Flax Fiber Cover which is launching as an optional extra for the new ThinkPad Z13. ThinkPad Z13’s outer shell will be made of woven strands of Flax Fiber. It is obtained from the stem of the flaxseed plant and will cover the PC’s outer shell, but it will still be connected to a metal top cover, even though the cover is 75% recycled aluminum. In today’s world, we have many plant-based products. For environmental purposes, Lenovo has brought it to one of its technological devices, which could be a game-changer for the future. ThinkPad Z12 Gen 2 with Flax cover can be seen below.

The company continued its innovative design, performance, and user experience solutions. While ThinkPad Z13 Gen 2 grabbed all the attention with its plant-based cover and new haptic touchpad to produce comfortable and accurate input. However, X13 Yoga Gen 4, E14, and E16 were also brought to the exhibition area. The E14 and E16 aim for small and medium businesses to be in their laptop portfolio with an aspect ratio of 16:10 and a larger touchpad.
