Each of its new devices benefit both in-office and remote users alike.

In February of this year, Gallup1 data showed that nearly 42% of Americans had a hybrid work schedule while 39% worked entirely from home. Consider that alongside the 72% of organizations around the world that stated in a recent Buffer2 study that they plan on permanently allowing some amount of remote work, and it’s clear that remote work is no longer considered the exception, but will increasingly be accepted as the rule. As people continue to spend more time in front of their screens, there is a need for elevated products that offer more than face-value benefits. Lenovo’s latest portfolio spotlights features that keep the wellness of the user in mind and enable productivity and efficiency.

For the gamer by night, remote worker by day – meet the new Lenovo Legion Y32p-30 Gaming Monitor. Featuring a 31.5-inch UHD display with 144Hz refresh rate and 0.2ms response time3, this powerful monitor is designed for razor-sharp, blur-free visuals, rendering each frame near-instantly so that users can keep up with the action.

Gamers, graphic designers, and content creators alike will delight in the breathtaking 4K visuals and rich colors emanating from the near-edgeless panel, resting easier knowing they have Eyesafe® Certified 2.0 blue light protection. As day turns to night – and vice versa – an auto-ambient brightness sensor adjusts the screen for optimized viewing.

Adding to the immersive experience, the monitor can be set to emit smart RGB lighting from underneath the front bezel, dynamically pulsing through colors in step with the on-screen action in real-time, creating a true gaming atmosphere right at home.

For the ultimate multi-tasker, multiple ports, including an HDMI hookup, and the USB-C® docking solution allow users to easily connect, charge4 and transfer data between laptop computers, mobile devices, and gaming consoles. Easily jump from one device to the next by simply pressing the KVM switch, while the Picture in Picture (PIP) and Picture by Picture (PBP) functions place content from the separate devices side-by-side so users can get more done.

The overall PC experience can be personalized even further through optional, downloadable Lenovo software offerings, including Lenovo Artery which allows users to customize display settings for a more optimized experience, and Lenovo Legion Arena which consolidates all of a user’s games across platforms into a central library for a quick and easy launch.

User-Centric Design Across These Lenovo Legion and ThinkVision Monitors

From eye health and ergonomics to the use of responsible packaging, the recent updates made to these monitors highlight Lenovo’s attention to purposeful design both for people and the planet. Each is built with 85% post-consumer recycled content (PCC) ABS in the bezel, back cover, stand, and base cover, and is shipped with packaging7 designed to help support the environment. To address increased screen time, natural low blue light technology is built in, helping to prevent eye fatigue by reducing harmful blue light emissions without compromising on color.

New to this generation of monitors resulting from customer feedback is a joystick navigation button accessibly positioned on the lower backside of the monitor, allowing users to easily configure their display settings from a single source without having to use multiple buttons. Each monitor also features stands that easily tilt forward and back so users can select their ideal viewing angle. However, the new ThinkVision T-series monitors and Lenovo Legion Y32p-30 include ergonomically advanced stands that also swivel, pivot, and lift8 up and down, offering users the flexibility to adjust it to their most comfortable working posture.

Should technical assistance be needed, companies can also purchase Lenovo Premier Support9 for their ThinkVision monitors, an advanced-level hardware and software support solution designed to meet the demands of Lenovo’s business customers remotely.

Designed for the modern workforce, the ThinkCentre M60q Chromebox Enterprise expands on Lenovo’s ThinkCentre “Tiny” desktop portfolio to deliver ChromeOS computing in a compact, yet versatile, 1L chassis. Easily mountable on the back of monitors, walls, or even mobile carts when a more portable in-office experience is needed, this tiny, versatile device is more than meets the eye.

With the power of up to 12th Generation Intel® Core™ i5 processors, secure ChromeOS operating system, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) integration, and multi-screen support of up to four monitors, the ThinkCentre M60q Chromebox Enterprise is engineered for heavy workload productivity – whether in the office, at a kiosk, or remote. Users will be able to get more done thanks to its quick boot functionality, speedy Wi-Fi™ 6E10 connectivity and seamless access to productivity and video conferencing apps.11

Additionally, without the need for imaging, zero-touch deployments can be executed quickly and remotely to get new devices up and running no matter where they are located, making it great for self-service kiosks, digital signage needs, in frontline environments like healthcare and call centers, or even for knowledge workers in financial services. Organizations that don’t require these enterprise-specific features or device orchestration can also opt for the ThinkCentre M60q Chromebox, identical in every way minus the Google Chromebook Enterprise Upgrade management.

Combining Lenovo ThinkShield and the Google-designed Titan C security chip, the ThinkCentre M60q Chromebox Enterprise delivers a built-in,  enhanced security experience with added features like safe browsing, sandboxing, data encryption, and verified boot to add peace of mind when needed. Additionally, routine software and security updates occur automatically in the background without disrupting users, minimizing distractions. Organizations can further reduce downtime should issues arise by adding Lenovo Premier Support9. Going beyond break-fix repairs, this advanced support service can also deliver next-business-day replacements12.

All of the products announced today can be purchased as part of a Lenovo TruScale Device as a Service (DaaS)  solution to give employees a user experience they want and the support they need with the latest technology, software and services all under one contract. TruScale DaaS offers organizations flexibility to scale their IT capabilities in line with their evolving business demands, regardless of where employees are located.

“Understanding the importance of choice in the user experience, we consistently innovate our portfolio to bring new form factors, features, and capabilities that can expand possibilities for our customers,” said Johnson Jia, Senior Vice President of Intelligent Devices Group’s Global Innovation Center, Lenovo. “As more people start to embrace hybrid work, we want to present technology solutions that don’t just match their transformed lifestyle, but tech that can reveal and solve for the unrealized challenges it may present, like the desktop computer and monitors that we’ve introduced today.”
