Lenovo launches AI-powered PCs & monitors for modern offices

Lenovo has introduced a new range of business-focused, AI-powered desktop PCs and monitors designed to adapt to changing workplace requirements.

The new offering includes the ThinkCentre M Series Gen 6 desktops and ThinkVision T Series Gen 40 monitors, which are intended to support organisations of varying scales. The ThinkCentre desktop lineup spans tower, compact, and all-in-one form factors, while the ThinkVision monitors are designed for flexibility and centralised management.

Johnson Jia, Senior Vice President of Intelligent Devices Group's Global Innovation Center at Lenovo, highlighted recent findings from a global survey and outlined the company's vision. "Nearly half of businesses believe that AI-powered devices boost employee productivity, and 90 percent of those are already piloting, planning or exploring AI-powered PC rollouts, according to a recent Lenovo and IDC global survey of IT decision-makers. AI has and will continue to reshape the future of work, and Lenovo is proud to lead the way with a new generation of AI desktop PCs and monitors that meet the changing needs of businesses in this new era," Jia said.

"Our latest ThinkCentre M Series Gen 6 desktops and ThinkVision T Series Gen 40 monitors power businesses of all sizes with scalable performance to unlock next-gen AI productivity and creativity." he added.

The ThinkCentre M Series Gen 6 desktops are engineered to deliver power for demanding scenarios such as AI model training, three-dimensional design, and data analysis. The tower models, including the ThinkCentre M90t Gen 6, feature up to Intel vPro Enterprise with AI-capable Intel Core Ultra 9 Processors (Series 2), DDR5 memory support, and eight expansion slots for future upgrades. Connectivity is enhanced through a range of ports suitable for various business setups.

For environments with limited space, the ThinkCentre series also offers a 1-litre design that can be placed discreetly behind monitors or within desk drawers. These smaller desktops, such as the ThinkCentre M90q Gen 6, are equipped with up to Intel Core Ultra 9 processors and support up to four displays. Optional discrete NPUs with 30 TOPs are also available for protected, on-device AI processing.

The ThinkCentre M Series Gen 6 all-in-one desktops are intended for businesses requiring tidy workspaces and AI performance, with features appropriate for sectors such as healthcare, creative industries, and education. Select models, such as the ThinkCentre M90a Gen 6, provide a 23.8-inch near-edgeless Full HD anti-glare display, 99% sRGB colour accuracy, a 120Hz refresh rate, and certifications for EyeSafe and IP55 water and dust resistance.

Lenovo's new desktops are supplied with proprietary AI tools. These include Lenovo AI Now, an on-device personal assistant, and the Lenovo AI Turbo Engine, which dynamically adjusts system resources to suit current workloads.

The desktops are also supported by ThinkShield security solutions, comprising both hardware and software elements to protect data. Features include a dTPM 2.0 chip to encrypt passwords, BIOS-based Smart USB protection, and individual USB port disablement to guard against unauthorised access.

The ThinkVision T Series Gen 40 monitors are intended to offer professionals a combination of display quality and practical connectivity. The lineup includes WQHD and UHD IPS displays with a 99% sRGB and BT.709 colour gamut. These monitors feature variable refresh rates (from 48-120Hz), which adjust automatically to match on-screen content, supporting both smooth visuals and energy efficiency.

Connectivity on the new monitors is facilitated by a one-cable USB-C solution for docking models and in-built modular VoIP conferencing technologies with AI features on selected units. Several models can provide up to 100W device charging through proprietary technology.

Lenovo stated that sustainability was a key consideration in the monitor lineup, with the ThinkVision T Series Gen 40 monitors comprising 95% post-consumer recycled plastic and plastic-free packaging. The monitors also hold ENERGY STAR, TCO, and EPEAT Gold certifications, reflecting compliance with rigorous environmental standards. IT departments benefit from centralised remote management capabilities via Lenovo Display Fleet Manager, enabling asset management, firmware updates, and configuration changes to be conducted in batches, which helps reduce end-user disruption.

Pricing for the ThinkCentre desktops and ThinkVision monitors varies across the models. The ThinkCentre M90t Gen 6 has an expected starting price of USD $1,039, the M90q Gen 6 starts at USD $989, and the ThinkCentre M90a Gen 6 starts at USD $1,399. For monitors, the ThinkVision T24-40 begins at USD $268, the T27QD-40 at USD $483, and the T34WD-40 at USD $623. Other models within both lineups offer various configurations and pricing tiers to address different enterprise needs.
