Lenovo has launched its latest range of AI-powered laptops in Malaysia with Intel Core Ultra processors and expanded AI capabilities aimed at enhancing productivity, creativity, and security.
The key product is the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition with a slim 13mm frame, 2.8K Puresight Pro edge-to-edge display and Intel Core Ultra 5 228V processor.
The company claims that the AI Core is capable of handling multiple workloads for over 18 hours of battery life.
The device is available in both 14in and 15in models, starting from RM4,999 on the Lenovo Official Store.
The company says Aura Edition laptops allow users to activate different Smart modes to suit their needs.
For example, they can choose to turn on the Attention mode to minimise distractions by blocking access to pre-set domains or notifications.
They can also choose a Wellness mode to get reminders for eye breaks at every 20 minutes. It also comes with Shield for enhanced online security, Collaboration to improve virtual meeting experience and Eco that reduces battery consumption.
The company also unveiled the ThinkPad X9 Aura Edition with Lenovo AI Now, a built-in AI assistant capable of performing tasks such as locating files, generating AI images or assisting with device management.
It comes with a 14in OLED display, base Intel Core Ultra 5 226V processor (up to Core 7 Series 2), Windows 11 Home 64, customisable memory of up to 32GB and up to 2TB of storage. Other features include an 8-megapixel MIPI camera, noise-cancelling microphones, and Integrated Intel Arc graphics card, with a starting price of RM6,189.
Lenovo Malaysia general manager Varinderjit Singh hopes that users will embrace AI's potential with the new product line-up.
"Most importantly, they should be open to allow the device to learn from them and let it evolve according to their usage. There are security elements to ensure that their privacy is protected. We recommend that they start by picking the right product whether it's for hybrid type of work or for creativity," he says during the launch in Kuala Lumpur today (Feb 12).
Varinderjit adds that he has been using the AI features summarise his meetings and create AI images. He also personally likes the Smart Care feature which allow users to get real-time support to Lenovo technicians for troubleshooting from the device.
"I had a Bluetooth issue and was able to resolve it easily through Smart Care," he says, adding that the feature will be handy for older users.
