Lenovo’s ThinkPads get a spec bump at MWC 2026
Lenovo is updating its business laptop lineup at MWC 2026. The best-selling ThinkPad T series is getting a complete refresh, and there’s an updated ThinkBook 2-in-1 and an all-new Android tablet.
The ThinkPad T-Series, the backbone of Lenovo’s business PC line, now (optionally) comes with a 5MP camera supporting computer vision and vHDR. The 2026 versions of the laptops feature larger speakers and a new color (“cosmic blue”) on some models.
The ThinkPad T14 Gen 7 and ThinkPad T16 Gen 5 (each starting at $1,799) are the workhorses of the ThinkPad lineup. Lenovo touts the 2026 models’ iFixit repairability score of 10/10. They come with an Intel Core Ultra Series 3 (with Intel vPro) or AMD Ryzen AI Pro 400 Series processor.

Meanwhile, the T14s Gen 7 ($1,899 and up) is an even lighter version of Lenovo’s slim ThinkPad variant. The 2026 model weighs 2.45 pounds (1.1 kg), making it the lightest T-Series model to date. The T14s Gen 7 is powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 (with Intel vPro) or AMD Ryzen AI Pro 400 Series processors.
The T series is completed by the second generation of the 360-degree foldable ThinkPad T14s 2-in-1. The 2026 model ($1,849 and up) is slightly lighter than its predecessor, now weighing 3.06 pounds (1.39 kg). The new version includes a pen in a garage, with its storage slot located above the screen.
ThinkPad X13 detachable (Lenovo)
The ThinkPad X13 detachable is the version of the Surface Pro line. The tablet has Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors and up to 64 GB of RAM. Its 13-inch screen supports up to 500 nits of brightness. It has a pair of Thunderbolt 4 ports and its keyboard features full-size keys with 1.5mm travel. It comes with a “full-size ergonomic stylus” that you can store (and charge!) in a dedicated slot on the keyboard. The X13 detachable starts at $1,999.
The $499 ThinkPad X11 is a rugged Android tablet aimed at industrial environments. Powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 mobile platform, it features a 10.95-inch display with 2560 x 1600 resolution and 600 nits of brightness. It is MIL-STD-810H certified, which means it passes rigorous military testing for durability.
