On the Go and in the Office

Last year, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 (Opens in a new window)Carbon(Opens in a new window) Gen 10(Opens in a new window) (starting at $1,164.50) was awarded PCMag Editors’ Choice, and that’s no surprise – it’s incredibly fast, highly functional, and remarkably versatile. This lightweight workhorse balances the features you need to keep up in the short run, and the hardware you can rely on for the long run.

When you’re in the weeds of a busy workday, ThinkPads have been tested to MIL-SPEC standards (which is shorthand for “military specifications”). The ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 specifically can withstand up to 91% to 98% humidity, sand and dust, vibrations, and very hot or cold conditions — meaning it can definitely handle your biking commute or make a day working from the beach flow better.

At home and in the office, this business-ready laptop has productivity-boosting hardware, including up to 14 cores, a multitude of display options, and a long-lasting battery. For video-conferencing without faux pas, there is a high-resolution FHD camera, integrated AI-based noise canceling, and a privacy shutter for the webcam. When it comes to buying tech equipment for remote working, security should be at the top of your list. This laptop offers Intel’s vPro IT with enhanced safety measures, so you can work securely with peace of mind.

The incredibly clever CPU — which can max out with 12th Gen Intel® Core™ vPro® processors on the top end —  has the smarts to allocate workloads to the right thread, on the right core, at the right time. Likewise, the GPU features integrated Intel® Iris Xe® Graphics with enough oomph for casual gaming. 

A New Take on Deskside 

If you’re self-employed or run a business with limited space, the ThinkStation P360 Tiny Workstation(Opens in a new window) (starting at $909) opens up a world of possibilities for WFH offices, co-working spaces, and hot desking. The pint-size package is the smallest ISV-certified workstation on the market and fits on a small desk, a shelf, or tucked behind a monitor and is even small enough to carry with you anywhere you go. The fact that it’s a desktop you can actually tote between work and home isn’t just a talking point. The certification from the ISV, or Independent Software Vendors, is there to ensure that the most critical applications will actually run correctly and provide a high-quality UX. 

On the processing side, the ThinkStation packs a lot into a compact footprint, including 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors and a choice of professional NVIDIA® discrete graphics. You’re also covered for SSD storage and generous memory. Not to mention, it can scale up to support up to six independent displays for serious screen real estate — which is perfect for an eye-popping client presentation.
