Lenovo launches in Romania the new brand of products dedicated to small and medium-sized enterprises. The ThinkBook series brings a new line of ultra-slim laptops, built to meet the mobility and performance needs of young professionals locally and to close a gap in the producer’s line of laptops.

The Chinese producer, that still holds a 30 percent market share in Romania, brought the new business line to a price that it makes it affordable for SMEs. While TkinkPad remains the top-line for business, with prices that go up to several thousands of euro, ThinkBook comes with the business characteristics (a presumably 24 hours working shift, materials that can endure long usage etc.) but at a price below EUR 1,000.

Why ThinkBook

In this permanently connected world, employees need a simplified laptop, which they can use to collaborate remotely. Nearly 60 percent of what has been called the “new workforce” has grown by working, creating and communicating online through smart devices. Young employees, representatives of the millennial and Z generations, expect from employers devices that blur the lines between work, life and passion.

The ThinkBook range is specifically designed for SMEs who need consumer-grade laptops, with elegant design and affordable prices, but can no longer accept the lack of support services and extended warranties. ThinkBook allows developing companies to keep an edge in attracting tech-savvy young people with cool, yet cost-effective devices.
