Overview of the ThinkPad Z series
The new ThinkPad Z series is characterized by adopting a "modern design philosophy" to focus on the late business users. About 70% of the aluminum used in the body is recycled, the vegan leather (*1) on the top plate is made of recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) material, and the package is made from bamboo and sugar cane fibers. It also has the aspect of being an environmentally friendly product. (*1) The vegan leather top plate is mounted in a Bronze body color.The APU (CPU with integrated GPU) is the "Ryzen PRO 6000 series," which adds corporate management functions to the new Ryzen 6000 series. , ThinkPad Z16 can also select a configuration with "Radeon RX 6500M" as an independent GPU. The display uses a liquid crystal panel or organic EL panel with an aspect ratio of 16:10, and a web camera that supports full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) shooting and face recognition is standard equipment on the top. The backlit keyboard is equipped with a ThinkPad-specific pointing device "TrackPoint", but the positions of the Fn key and the left Ctrl key are "reversed", and the PrintScreen key is moved to the left of the Delete key. Or, a fingerprint sensor is provided at the position of the PrintScreen key, and there are parts that are different from the conventional ones. The touchpad is a 120mm wide glass "ForcePad" (with haptic function), which makes it possible to move the pointer more smoothly. TrackPoint also has a new function called "TrackPoint Hub" that allows you to make settings related to web conferencing by double-tapping.
