As the workplace is constantly transforming to meet the demands, challenges, and restrictions of this current pandemic, companies are moving away from on-premise IT infrastructures and are looking to adopt Modern IT environments characterized by cloud-based resources that facilitate work from anywhere model.
Global tech innovator Lenovo introduces the newest slate of AMD-powered ThinkPads T14, X13, and E14that to address the needs of flexible working. When we talk about enterprise-grade and MIL-spec laptops, only one brand comes into mind: Lenovo ThinkPad.

To address challenges like this, Lenovo designs with purpose and innovation focused on customer-centricity to tackle the fast-changing needs of the workforce.
