Lenovo has launched the Lenovo IdeaPad Chromebook, Tab 11, and Tab 11 Pro to cater to the sudden switch to remote work and study or the hybrid working/studying environment.
These were revealed as part of the Lenovo Tech Life 2022 launch at IFA 2022. During this event, the brand also released other devices like the Legion Y32p-30 Gaming monitor, Chromebox, ThinkPad X1 Fold, Lenovo Glass T1, and ThinkBook 16p.
“Over the last two years, personal devices became the lifeline of people’s lives, the windows to the world, and often times a safe space to ‘get away. Now, as consumers adapt to yet another new reality, their expectations of the technology they rely on are evolving, as well. The new Lenovo Chromebook and tablets we’ve introduced today are built to support people on the go, and importantly – to serve them in new and exciting ways while at home.”
