Beste redactie,
Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) kondigt vandaag aan dat er tot nu toe meer dan 60 miljoen ThinkPad laptops zijn verkocht. Op dit moment worden er meer dan 14 ThinkPad laptops verkocht elke 60 seconden, wat bijdraagt aan de positie van Lenovo als snelst groeiende grote PC Bedrijf.
Vanaf het begin (18 jaar geleden) heeft de ThinkPad vele baanbrekende innovatieve primeurs gehad, zoals het eerste morsbestendig toetsenbord en de beschermende rolkooi. Ook vandaag komt Lenovo met een primeur, door NVIDIA Optimus technologie toe te voegen aan de ThinkPad T410, T510 en T410s laptops.
NVIDIA Optimus technologie maakt het mogelijk om tussen grafische processoren te schakelen, waardoor veel energie kan worden bespaard. Zo kan de werktijd op een acculading in notebooks worden verlengd als er toch geen prestaties worden verlangd door grafische toepassingen. ThinkPad is de eerste business laptop NVIDIA Optimus technologie ondersteund.

More than 14 ThinkPad laptops are now sold every 60 seconds, contributing to Lenovo’s position as the fastest growing major PC company1.

Killer Graphics Performance Plus Extreme Battery Life
NVIDIA Optimus technology makes graphics automatic, instantaneous and seamless. Users no longer have to manually force switching to reduce performance and save battery life. Now they can have extended battery life and electrifying multimedia performance. By switching automatically between high performance and energy saving graphics, ThinkPad laptops with Optimus achieve up to 33 percent longer battery life over discrete only mode2. That adds up to one extra hour of battery life per charge2. ThinkPad also supports Optimus technology to drive four displays via select ThinkPlus docks.
“New technologies like NVIDIA Optimus are making ThinkPads even smarter,” said Rene Haas, general manager, Notebook Products, NVIDIA. “Never before has there been a solution that so effectively eliminates the tradeoffs between riveting graphics performance and long battery life. Visual content is the most popular and important form of data today, and we’ve built the NVIDIA NVS 3100M graphics processor to be the perfect processor for the task.”
