SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – January 21, 2010:<\/strong> Lenovo<\/a> today announced four new ThinkPad PCs, the T410s, T410 and T510 laptops and W510 mobile workstation, to bring higher levels of performance and productivity to business users. The new laptops feature the new Intel\u00ae Core\u2122 dual-core processors, and equip users with faster multi tasking performance, more energy efficient performance and greater manageability for IT departments. Beyond powerful processing performance improvements, the new laptops extend individual productivity with selected ThinkPads offering battery life up to 21 hours, more multitouch screen options and a single global wireless broadband solution with the Qualcomm Gobi 2000 module.<\/p>\n

\u201cThinkPad laptops are built for business with the performance, portability and wireless capabilities users need and the manageability, reliability and durability IT departments require,\u201d said, Chris Kelly, Product and Marketing Director, Lenovo, Australia and New Zealand. \u00a0\u201cThese latest enhancements in processing speed, battery life and wireless technologies help users work faster, longer and smarter.\u201d<\/p>\n

The T410s provides a thin and light design with full performance for extremely mobile users, while the T410 and T510 are designed for full performance for mainstream business users. The high performance W510 mobile workstation fits the needs of professionals in data and graphics demanding fields like oil and gas, computer aided design and photography.<\/p>\n

Productivity through Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new PCs offer maximum processing performance utilising the new Intel\u00ae Core\u2122 processors. Combined with Intel\u00ae Core\u2122 vPro technology and Lenovo\u2019s ThinkVantage Technologies\u2019 manageability features, IT departments can remotely manage their PC fleet and deploy power settings, Internet connection profiles and more. Additionally, Intel\u00ae Turbo Boost Technology1<\/sup> on the W510 and T Series laptops automatically and intelligently accelerates performance, dynamically adjusting to the workload to give business users an immediate performance boost when needed.<\/p>\n

The new W510 brings mobile workstation performance to a higher level. More powerful than before, the W510 has four memory slots for up to 16GB of high performance 1333 MHz DDR3 memory and supports the latest Intel\u00ae Core\u2122 i7 quad core processors. It also offers the Nvidia Quadro FX \u00a0880M GPU with 1GB VRAMAs the first ThinkPad to offer USB 3.0, users can transfer data quickly reaching speeds up to 10x the performance over USB 2.0.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The T410s is now available with Nvidia switchable graphics with 512 MB of VRAM so users can balance a visually intense graphics experience with energy efficiency and battery life. The laptops are also certified under Lenovo\u2019s Enhanced Experience program for Windows 7. This means they start up significantly faster than identical configuration, non optimised PCs. For example, on select Think PCs, Windows 7 starts up to 56 percent faster compared to running Windows XP or Vista and shuts down in as little as five seconds2<\/sup>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For added convenience, a powered USB port comes on all the new PCs and can be used to charge MP3 players, phones and other devices when the PC is on, on standby or off (if plugged in).<\/p>\n

Productivity by Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

The W510 gives users a new kind of power, the power of touch, for a new way to work with an optional multi finger touch screen.\u00a0 Lenovo includes the SimpleTap application to help make navigating the touchscreen simple.\u00a0 The W510 also has added an optional colour calibrator, first debuted in the ThinkPad W700 mobile workstation, to help ensure the most accurate colours on its high gamut full high definition screen.<\/p>\n

The new laptops also improve the typing experience with larger Escape and Delete keys. Since Lenovo found users hit the Delete and Escape keys up to 700 times a week on average, the sizes of these keys have been increased starting with the T400s laptop.<\/p>\n

Productivity by Mobility<\/strong><\/p>\n

To extend the workday even longer without plugging in, Lenovo offers a new nine cell slice battery on the T410, T510 and W510 laptops for up to 21 hours of battery life3<\/sup>. The laptops also offer optional 3G connectivity leveraging EV-DO and HSPA wireless networks with Qualcomm Gobi 2000\u2122 technology. This module allows businesses to standardise on a single hardware platform that can be deployed globally and accommodate multiple carriers to simplify international deployments.<\/p>\n

Pricing and Availability4<\/sup><\/strong><\/p>\n

The ThinkPad T410s, T410, T510 and W510 laptops are available now through business partners and www.lenovo.com.au<\/a>.\u00a0 Pricing for models starts approximately at AU$2,399 for the T410s, AU$2,499 for the T410, AU$2,349 for the T510 and AU$3,999 for the W510.
