Lenovo has expanded the series of ThinkPad systems with the launch of a new ThinkPad S431 laptop PC optimised for the Windows 8 operating system (OS).
The device is powered by Intel third generation Core processors, which are claimed to make it 15% faster compared to its predecessor and provide improved performance.
Lenovo Think Business Group executive director Jerry Paradise said, "The ThinkPad S431 offers an intuitive Windows 8 experience with the power needed to accelerate productivity."
According to the company, the S431 is one of the first ThinkPads to feature Lenovo OneLink technology, which enables the users to connect with the ThinkPad OneLink Dock with a single cable for dedicated video, extra USB 3.0 ports and gigabit Ethernet.
The new ThinkPad has 8GB of memory with 500GB of storage capacity, a six-row backlit keyboard with Windows 8 optimised shortcut keys and a touchpad that supports Windows 8 gestures.
Features of the new laptop PC include a 14-inch LCD screen, 20.5mm frame, aluminium LCD cover, a five-button clickpad with glass surface and a multi-finger touch screen, while the display features 180-degree open angle.
