Additional support is available through Lenovo&#8217;s PrivacyGuard ePrivacy display and Privacy Alert. ThinkShutter webcam security and fingerprint are also added features.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The L series has also undergone other changes, including a redesign to be thinner and lighter, with an aluminum top cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Intel&#8217;s 10th Gen Core processor,<\/strong> code named<strong> Ice Lake<\/strong>, was released in May 2019. It boosts performance on thin laptops and 2-in-1 devices and offers support for AI. This chip is also a part of Project Athena, Intel&#8217;s multiyear plan to improve mobile PC standards like better battery life and faster charging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AMD&#8217;s Ryzen 4000 Pro, which has yet to be released, offers integrated graphics performance and the first 7 nanometer chip of AMD&#8217;s line for portable laptops. AMD Ryzen 4000 Pro will be available on only Lenovo ThinkPad models T14s, T14, X13, L14 and L15. Although these new updates aren&#8217;t out of the norm, Lenovo is the first to announce its partnership with AMD for the Ryzen 4000 Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Enterprises, when they go out and buy technology, want the latest and greatest technology. If you can&#8217;t show that you got the latest chips, then they want to know why,&#8221; said Jack Gold, president and principal analyst at J.Gold Associates LLC. &#8220;They&#8217;re less cost-conscious than consumers would be because their prices are negotiated anyway.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Top competitors with Lenovo are Dell and HP, and both seem to have taken over the mobile enterprise market from Lenovo&#8217;s ThinkPad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;ThinkPad does not hold the market position that it once did.
