With its sleek and modern exterior, the ThinkBook 15 doesn’t compromise style for function. Being fast doesnt have  to be bulky and ugly. According to a 2019 study commissioned by Lenovo and conducted by Forrester Consulting,  millennials and Gen Z workers comprise 60% of the workforce.

ThinkBook series and the remote workforce

A recently released Lenovo work-from-home (WFH) survey  found that majority of employees(87%) felt at least somewhat ready to shift to WFH when required. The rapid adoption of remote working was made possible by the increasing sophistication of smart mobile technology, which emphasized the need for companies to invest in smarter technology to bolster employee productivity from wherever they are working.

As the Philippine workforce shifts to remote work due to quarantine restrictions and the continued threat of the coronavirus, the ThinkBook series offers in-demand features and collaboration tools needed to deliver optimal productivity while allowing users to work with flexibility and mobility. This line of business laptops is the expert workforce companion, especially for remote workers andthe small and medium businesses that are just starting to bounce back fromthe disruptions brought by the pandemic.

“The ThinkBook series was designed to keep up with the demands of the modern workplace and to allow its users to work on-the-go with utmost convenience. This is perfect for small and medium businesses, especially now that remote work seems to be rolling out across industries in the Philippines. Because of the success of most businesses with this setup, it seems that the work-from-home arrangement is here to stay. Lenovo’s ThinkBook series helps businesses adjust well to this new norm,” said Ngan.

The ThinkBook series come in four variants – ThinkBook 15, ThinkBook 14s, ThinkBook 14, and ThinkBook 13s. All ThinkBook devices feature full HD resolution (1920 x 1080), antiglare display, and narrow bezel, which altogether enhance user experiences and improve focus when working.
