Revamped Ultra-Light Laptops (Update)

Lenovo's New ThinkPad X1 Carbon is Unveiled at CES 2015

— January 6, 2015 — Tech
Even though the Lenovo ThinkPad has been around since 1992, Lenovo is continuing to make the powerful personal computers even better in 2015 with the refreshed ThinkPad X1 Carbon, as announced at CES 2015.

Claiming to be the world's lightest Ultrabook, the 14 inch laptop weights just 2.88 pounds. The new version of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon has several new features. This includes a super bright display with HD and WQHD capabilities, a PCle solid state drive that is supposed to be 80% faster than other SSDs. Like the older model, it still has a fifth-generation Intel Core i7 processor, slender carbon fiber chassis and the ThinkPad TrackPoint Mouse (the trademark red dot in the middle of the keyboard). You can also still fold the display monitor all the way down so the laptop lies completely flat.
Trend Themes
1. Lightweight Laptops - The trend of creating ultra-lightweight laptops can disrupt the traditional laptop industry by providing options for high-powered devices that are easily portable and mobile.
2. High-definition Displays - The trend towards super-bright HD and WQHD displays can disrupt the display industry as consumers demand higher quality visuals in their personal devices.
3. Solid State Drives - The trend towards faster PCIe solid state drives can disrupt the storage industry by providing an alternative to traditional hard drives and increasing data transfer speeds.
Industry Implications
1. Computer Hardware - The computer hardware industry can adopt the trend of creating lightweight laptops, high-definition displays, and faster solid state drives to stay relevant in an increasingly mobile world.
2. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can take advantage of the trend towards lightweight laptops with high-quality displays and fast storage to offer consumers increasingly powerful and portable devices.
3. Technology Manufacturing - The technology manufacturing industry can explore advancements in lightweight materials, display technology, and solid state drives to create more efficient and innovative products in an ever-changing market.
