Smarter AI: Next-generation productivity everywhere
Lenovo ThinkPad® T14s Gen 6, a Copilot+ PC

Artiﬁcial intelligence (AI) is making headlines in every industry across the globe
with the promise of unlocking new insights that will lead to breakthrough innovations.
From advances in healthcare and manufacturing to aerospace engineering, businesses are taking steps to embrace this incredible potential.

Consider that:

No matter what the industry is, leveraging the true potential of AI comes from putting it in the hands of high-performance people so it can be practically applied wherever and however the work happens.
Increasing employee productivity was cited as the #1 reason for businesses driving AI investments.

And 86% of IT decision-makers cited productivity and collaboration tools with additional Gen AI capabilities as the most likely to have a positive impact.2

Empowering employee productivity with on-device AI

Microsoft Copilot gives users the ability to leverage generative AI and machine learning (ML) to expand their potential and accomplish tasks more quickly and easily with seamless integration across the Windows operating system and Microsoft 365 applications.*

CREATIVE TASKS

PRODUCTIVITY-ENHANCING FUNCTIONS

Summarizing documents
Analyzing spreadsheets
Organizing files and folders

Copilot is transforming the way work gets done.

But managing the large language models (LLMs) that enable the natural, chat- based interaction with AI applications like Copilot requires significant computing power. Until now, that meant relying on cloud-based processing to perform the heavy lifting, which meant large amounts of potentially sensitive data had to travel back and forth across the internet to accomplish the task.

With the advent of neural processing units (NPUs), end-user devices are now capable of performing AI tasks locally, which provides several distinct advantages:

Faster results — With no need to access the internet, there’s no latency with AI requests. Users get the information they need quickly and can move on to the next task.

More personalized experiences — When AI applications are running locally, they’re able to adapt to each user’s individual preferences and work habits, enabling customized interactions and support.

Enhanced security — The entire AI interaction can take place locally, so sensitive or confidential data never leaves the device, and the information accessed by the on-device AI is never used for external LLM training.

This new class of end-user device, the Copilot+ PC, represents a great opportunity for organizations to harness the power of on-device AI for a wide range of productive, collaborative, and developmental tasks.

Lenovo is delivering on the promise of Smarter AI for all with the introduction of the ThinkPad® T14s Gen 6.

Meet the Lenovo
ThinkPad® T14s Gen 6,a Copilot+ PC
Designed for highly mobile users with high-performance demands in and out of the office, the ThinkPad® T14s Gen 6 combines the newly improved design of our proven enterprise workhorse with the speed and performance of the Snapdragon® X Elite.

Snapdragon X Elite includes the Qualcomm® Hexagon™ NPU that delivers 45 TOPS of AI performance — allowing it to run multiple tasks in tandem and making it a generative AI powerhouse. In addition, with a chip architecture refined on mobile devices, the 12-core Qualcomm Oryon™ CPU matches peak PC performance at 54% less power than competitor PCs.**

Give your users a powerful assist with Lenovo’s AI assistant
Lenovo’s AI assistant works alongside Copilot to deliver additional AI- enhanced features to speed up common tasks and help users focus on more strategic initiatives:

Device Assistant — Give your users the ability to access device settings based on prompts to adjust power modes, change wallpaper, adjust display settings, and more.
Service Assistant — Users can easily view service and warranty status, get recommendations on support contact details, and access chatbot help for basic troubleshooting.
W ork Assistant — Organize files for easy reference and conduct semantic searches, utilize LLM and ML services to summarize documents from multiple files, generate text/scripts via prompts, and access Q&As from our professional knowledge base.

Engage with a fully integrated ecosystem
Microsoft, Qualcomm Technologies, and Lenovo have partnered together with software ISVs to strengthen integration across the entire ecosystem.

Na tive applications — Now, Windows on Snapdragon (WoS) and the new Snapdragon X Elite processor combine to run applications natively, without the need for emulation.
Improved efficiency — In addition to avoiding a performance penalty, running natively uses less wattage, enabling users to work longer stretches of time without needing to recharge.
Gr owing ecosystem — Lenovo is also actively expanding the WoS ecosystem by onboarding new ISVs that use AI technology coded to utilize the NPU and run natively.

Together, we’re future-proofing the AI PC to help users leverage the benefits of evolving technology.
