Anyone who was at the BETT show recently may have seen Lenovo T Series and X series devices being frozen and another being showered!

Although Lenovo’s ThinkPads have always been known for their robustness, they were not specifically designed to only meet the Mil-SPEC 810G standard. Meeting the standard is just the start of ThinkPad’s durability, robustness and reliability. Selected ThinkPad models, including all X & T series, have successfully passed the following tests:

• -20 degree temperatures for over 72 hours
• 91-98% humidity
• 30-60 degree temperatures over 24 hour cycles
• Sand tests for 6 hour cycles

On top of this, they also survived high-vibration environments, mechanical shocks, high altitude and quick temperature shocks!

Okay, so these tests are on the extreme side! But the short message is that if your field teams need a robust, durable device that combines performance with ruggedness, then the Lenovo ThinkPad Mil-SPEC range could be for you.

View this short video to see how the devices can withstand accidents and tough working conditions.

 

As Lenovo Platinum Solution Partners, Complete IT Systems can offer you expert advice on the Lenovo range and how it could be effectively deployed in your business. To find out more give us a call on 01274 396 213 or email  and we’ll get back to you promptly.

 

Thinking about a tech refresh to give your colleagues in the field the best functionality, image and style to represent your business? The Lenovo X1 Yoga could offer a one-stop solution to durability, connectivity and flexibility.

The X1 Yoga, known for its unique retractable keyboard and integrated ThinkPad Pen Pro, takes the innovative capabilities of the X1 Carbon and places them in a convertible form. This means multi-mode enthusiasts can get 8th Gen Intel® Core™ processors and the all-new Premium Dolby Vision capable display in a flexible form-factor. The new 360^o Far-Field Communication microphones support Wake on Voice function and offer superior audio and video conferencing. And the ThinkShutter Camera Privacy securely covers the webcam – a simple solution, but quite an engineering feat in such a thin package.

Stay agile and connected on the road with Global LTE-A wireless and rest assured that 12 Mil-Spec tests and more than 200 quality checks means the X1 Yoga is built to survive daily business battles. Facial recognition (with the optional IR camera) and fingerprint reader will ensure your data is protected, even if the worst was to happen.

The ThinkPad X1 series comes with an extensive list of optional accessories to enhance the user experience and flexibility at work or home. From new docking options to carry cases and privacy filters, we have an option to match virtually every requirement.

In 2017, international legal practice Osborne Clarke opened a new office in the heart of the UK’s M4 technology corridor that puts agile connected working on the map. Although they’ve been working open-plan and flexibly since 2001, connected working is the next evolution in their working style. Or as Darren Collins, local IT support engineer in Reading, England puts it, “By freeing our people from some of the traditional constraints of office life, we’re future-proofing our business.”

Not only did these adjustments tackle the challenges of communication and workflow, it’s vastly improved company morale. “It’s become obvious that connected working is actually easier, more efficient and more beneficial to people’s general well-being,” said Collins.
