We live in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). It’s everywhere we look, and we are starting to utilise it in everything we do – it’s transforming how we use technology. From crafting the perfectly worded email, to redecorating your home, AI opens the door to new possibilities.
Along with AI, we’re more self-aware of our own personal impacts on environmental sustainability. We’re conscious of what we’re using, and mindful of making more environmentally friendly decisions to build a better future.
We’re proud to share a commitment to sustainability with world-leading technology partner, Lenovo. Data#3 and Lenovo are consistently striving to improve their impact on the circular economy, with commitments to continual progress in reducing emissions while also assisting customers with their own sustainability goals. It is a key priority that through technology, Data#3, Lenovo and our customers are able make sustainable choices to reduce, reuse and recycle.
The Lenovo commitment to “design, use, return and re-use” is supported by innovative supply chains, services and responsible product designs and materials. Our partnership makes it easy for organisations to take advantage of the opportunities for innovation in technology, without compromising on their sustainability goals.
While the era of AI is new to many, it isn’t to Lenovo, which has been investing in the research and development of AI for their devices since 2017.
Sustainable now. Sustainable always.
Recognising the distinct needs of users in different settings, Lenovo acknowledges the divergence between home and professional usage. Lenovo has introduced a fresh lineup of commercial laptops, prioritising advancements aimed at enhancing the end-user experience to better support technological innovations such as AI.
Enter the all-new ThinkPad range, utilising innovative technology with AI features to enhance productivity, creativity and efficiency. Lenovo laptops are ready for the future of business computing. With three compute engines: CPU (Central Processing Unit), GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), and NPU (Neural Processing Unit), that can handle AI PC tasks efficiently and smartly. The NPU has been purpose built to specifically handle AI tasks to transform devices into next-generation technology.
Lenovo’s commitment to innovation and sustainability is further showcased in the new range of ThinkPad laptops with features such as enhanced repairability, more recycled materials, efficient power management, and powerful processing capabilities with built-in security and manageability.
Lenovo takes it a step further, not only are the devices sustainable, but all plastics have now been phased out of product packaging.
You may not be able to hang the new range of ThinkPads in your fridge like the Yoga Tablet Pro 2 – thanks Asthon Kutcher for the idea we never knew we needed – they still maintain the same high quality and efficiency you’ve come to expect from Lenovo, only with an increased focus on sustainability so you can make an environmentally friendly decision about your technology.
Meet the new faces in sustainability
Lenovo’s ThinkPad range incorporates AI features to enhance productivity, creativity, and efficiency and is part of the next wave of AI-enabled business computing. These laptops are powered by Intel Core Ultra processors and run Windows 11, meaning they have the capability to support regular usage of AI-powered tools such as Microsoft Copilot for M365.
