ASUS' dual-screen laptop has had a CES 2021 revamp, with the Republic of Gamers Zephyrus Duo 15 SE keeping the twin displays but throwing in more screen options and faster processors. As before, there's a 15.6-inch main display on top, with a 14.1-inch secondary display underneath, on a tilting panel just above the keyboard.
Lenovo has revealed the second generation of its unusual dual-display notebook, with the ThinkBook Plus Gen 2 i keeping the LCD and e-ink combination but boosting screen size and performance. This new version of the notebook now has a significantly larger epaper display on the lid, measuring in at 12-inches, while resolution now matches the internal display at 2560 x 1600.
Lenovo has a quartet of new gaming laptops for its Legion line, with options not only for those wanting maximum performance but gamers who need some portability along with their play. Making their debut at CES 2021, the flagship of the range is the Legion 7 with a new, 16-inch display that promises more usable space.
Lenovo has updated its ThinkBook range for CES 2021, slotting in-between its dedicated consumer and ThinkPad business lines for smaller businesses and home workers. Both AMD and Intel processors feature, along with a new wireless charging pad, optional OLED screens on some models, and features like noise cancellation for video calls.
Intel has introduced its four new lines of processors designed for a variety of platforms and users, including for education, gaming, and business. The new lineup includes the 11th-Gen Intel Core vPro designed for business, N-series Pentium Silver and Celeron processors for education, and 11th-Gen Intel Core H-series mobile processors for gaming.
It's CES 2021 this week, kicking off a flood of new product announcements both during the event as well as long after it. One of those that may be happening this month is Microsoft's debut of its next-gen Surface products, namely its pro tablets and laptops. Leaks about the Surface Pro 8 and Surface Laptop 4 haven't exactly been encouraging but this latest leak shows at least one change that could be a bit of a positive.
Last year saw a surge in PC demand and sales thanks to remote working arrangements imposed by COVID-19 measures. As the world continues to shift, adjust, and even recover, workplaces are shifting to hybrid setups where people come and go more often than stay in the office. Notebook PCs are, of course, at the center of these new arrangements, and at the virtual CES 2021, HP is introducing its 2021 lineup that it says is designed to let people work together even when far apart.
It seems like a lifetime ago that we were last live and in-person at the Las Vegas tech event called CES. The year 2020 threw the whole world into chaos - and tech events like CES were no exception. Here in the year 2021, CES is an all-digital event, which essentially means we'll have a LOT of the same content, with slightly less hands-on action. We'll also have more "smart masks."
Lenovo and NEC have updated the LAVIE Pro Mobile notebook, with a revamped version for CES 2021 that promises longer battery life and more performance. Turning more than a few heads last year with its handsome and restrained styling and slender profile, the LAVIE Pro Mobile dresses its hints of Surface Laptop in an unusual navy blue finish, and now taps Intel's latest chips.
Lenovo and NEC promised something big from their collaboration, but the LAVIE MINI is actually unexpectedly small, in the best possible way. A tiny convertible PC, it's designed to be both an 8-inch go-anywhere miniature notebook and a portable PC gaming system, complete with a detachable controller.
Samsung is adding to its Chrome OS range, with a new notebook, the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2, joining the line-up as a more affordable option. Adding to, rather than replacing, the existing high-end Galaxy Chromebook launched last year, this second model trims the starting price to under $700 but introduces features like a QLED display for the first time.
Lenovo is revamping its IdeaPad range for 2021, debuting a handful of new laptops and convertibles for CES 2021, along with a new Tab P11 tablet. Among the features likely to prompt most excitement are optional embedded 5G in select models, along with 2K display options and a pair of new monitors. However, those in North America may not be entirely pleased with Lenovo's news today.
