Lenovo releases new 14-inch laptop earlier than expected with Intel Panther Lake
Lenovo has quietly released a new ThinkBook 2-in-1 in Europe. Specifically, the company is now offering the ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 6 to replace last year's Gen 5 model (curr. $1,299 on Amazon). Presented in March, the new 14-inch ThinkBook was apparently set for a June release.
While that may still be true in North America, Lenovo has already started selling the ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 6 in Europe. Currently, the company offers the new ThinkBook with a choice between Core Ultra 5 325 and Core Ultra 7 355 processors. Both Panther Lake parts, the pair hardly differ performance-wise according to our benchmarks.
Additionally, the ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 6 can be configured with up to 32 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM, which is user-upgradable thanks to a pair of SODIMM slots. Lenovo also includes an M.2 2242 slot that it pre-populates with a 512 GB or 1 TB SSD. Only a 60 Wh battery is configurable though, as a 1200p and 60 Hz display that outputs at 400 nits with 45% NTSC colour space coverage.
The ThinkBook 14 2-in-1 Gen 6 starts at £1,269 in the UK. At the time of publication, this price includes a Core Ultra 5 325 processor, 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage. Meanwhile, the same SKU costs between €1,479 and €1,588 in the Eurozone. Lenovo has not confirmed pricing for other markets like Australia or North American pricing yet.
