Lenovo is announcing five new ThinkPads and a new ThinkBook laptop for MWC 2026. There are various new chip offerings and updates for this swathe of ThinkPads, but the device I find the most interesting is the X13 Detachable. We haven’t seen a major update to Lenovo’s tablet-style ThinkPad in years, when it was the X12 Detachable.
The new releases (and starting prices) are:
Compared to its predecessor, the X13 Detachable offers Intel Panther Lake chip options and has a bigger 13-inch touchscreen with 3:2 aspect ratio, 2880 x 1920 resolution, and 120Hz variable refresh rate. Its keyboard cover has more contoured, full-size keycaps, and a much deeper 1.5mm key travel — feeling like a keyboard ripped straight from a proper ThinkPad. And its stylus is now garaged within the keyboard, where it charges via pogo pins. That seems like a nice improvement over the last-gen pen’s reliance on a AAAA battery, and having it hang off the side of the keyboard in a little nylon loop.
As for the other ThinkPads, the new ThinkPad T14 and T16 have smaller bezels around their screens than last-gen, and they can each be configured with the latest Intel and AMD chips (Panther Lake for Intel and Gorgon Point for AMD). Additionally, the Intel versions use LPCAMM2 RAM instead of traditional DDR5, which should be more power-efficent while maintaining upgradeability and easier repairability. Speaking of easy repairability, the T14 and T16 even feature user-replaceable batteries.
The new ThinkPad T14S model is the lightest of the T-series ThinkPads to date, weighing 2.43 pounds / 1.1kg (lighter than a MacBook Air). It’s also the most flexibly configurable, as it will be offered with Intel Panther Lake, AMD Gorgon Point, and even Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 Plus or X2 Elite processors. The T14S also comes in a slightly heavier 2-in-1, though that will only come with Intel Panther Lake chips. And the same goes for the new ThinkBook 14 2-in-1.
All these new laptops ship with Windows 11, but the ThinkPad T14, T14S, T16, and X13 Detachable will also be sold with Linux in some regions (except the Qualcomm-based T14S, which runs Windows on Arm). All of them are due out Q2 of 2026, except for the X13 Detachable, which is set to launch in Q3.
