Lenovo India Introduces “Made To Order” Customisable Laptops
One of the key benefit desktop PCs have had over laptops is choice in the configuration. Apart from pre-built computers, most users or even enthusiasts have always chosen which parts they needed for their desktops. Laptops have generally almost always sold with set internal hardware as specified by various electronic companies. However, Lenovo has now started a new ‘Make Your Own’ initiative that offers users the ability to customise their laptops before purchase.

How It Works

The new ‘Made To Order’ service for ThinkPad laptops is currently available in India and will soon expand to other laptop lineups within 90 days. Options for customising laptops is available on Lenovo’s official website. The company is claiming to offer over 100,000 configurations. Lenovo has stated that the custom ordered laptop will be made in its automated facilities which promise to deliver in two weeks time.

According to the company, users with varying needs are being taken into account. Growth has been observed in the demand for personalised laptops and Lenovo plans on delivering. The launch of the service will mark a pro-consumer focused business model being adopted by the tech giant.

Configurations Offered
- CPU: Intel and AMD options will be available although only the former is currently listed with options between Core i3, i5, and i7.
- Storage: Standard hard disk drives can be swapped out for the much faster solid state drives.
- Graphics: Customers can choose between the integrated graphics provided or the dedicated graphics card from AMD and NVIDIA.
- Screen: Options vary from Full HD displays panels to the vibrant 4K displays with a touch screen option.
- Pre-Installed Software: Users can opt for certain softwares such as the MS Office, Abode Suite, Anti-Virus applications and much more.
- Accessories: Additional items such as an upgraded extra battery, Ethernet Dongles, Expansion Docks and External monitors are being provided on the side.

For example, users may need a powerful CPU but not the expensive GPU that ships with it. Hence, the option of opting out is a good deal. Lenovo’s pro-choice move is a welcomed change to the formula that is prevalent in the mobile computer industry.

Lenovo’s Project Limitless Features a 5G Laptop Running On Snapdragon 8cx CPU Processor

Lenovo along with other tech giants has made great strides in technological development that has been showcased at Computex 2019. Lenovo and Qualcomm have yet to divulge finer details regarding their Project Limitless other than the fact that the driving technology leading to this innovation is Qualcomm’s very own Snapdragon 8cx chipset that supports 5G connectivity.

Unveiled last December, the Snapdragon 8cx claims great performance with amazing battery life for Windows on ARM devices. Designed specifically to tackle issues and concerns surrounding Snapdragon’s previous iterations on PCs. The octa-core Kyro 495 CPU on the chipset features an increased 10MB cache, improving on Chromes performance than its previous versions. Built on a 7nm architecture the Snapdragon 8cx in the Lenovo laptop is reportedly a ‘lot more’ power efficient than the Snapdragon 855. A ‘lot more’ not in terms of hours but days.

The Units that were made available to the attendees of Computex were, however, demos, so no real benchmark on network speeds are available. According to the demo devices system settings, the Snapdragon 8cx CPU was reported to have been running at 2.8GHz clock speed along with 16GB of RAM, all in all, specs comfortable enough for multitasking processes.

Qualcomm, for comparison purposes, showcased its products capabilities by pitting it against its targetted rival, i.e Intel’s Core i5-8250U. Using the new PCMark 10 Application benchmark on systems of similar specs had the Qualcomm’s 8cx beat the Intel’s i5 on apps like Microsoft Edge and Word. Intel’s processor won on other apps like Excel and PowerPoint.

This may cement Qualcomm in the laptop grade CPU market and have their Snapdragon brand expand to laptops alongside Lenovo. The inclusion of 5G networking on sub-6GHz connection is a great plus point as well that goes along with the ‘Limitless’ nomenclature.
