Lenovo ThinkPad P40 Yoga

For years, designers have been forced to purchase two systems to turn their ideas into finished products – a drawing tablet to deliver a premium sketching experience and a workstation to run the powerful applications capable of rendering their designs.

In January 2016, the Lenovo ThinkPad P40 Yoga will bring together new innovations in sketching accuracy and pen technology with workstation-class performance to give digital artists and designers an all-in-one convertible that delivers on all fronts. The ThinkPad P40 Yoga builds on Lenovo’s legacy of workplace reliability and performance, and enables creative professionals to sketch and render designs on the same machine.

Like the rest of the Yoga line, the P40 works as a laptop, table, tent and stand. The stand mode – in which the computer’s screen is flipped back so the keyboard rests face down on a table surface – takes the weight out of the user’s hands completely while providing them with an angled drawing surface that should be especially comfortable to anyone familiar with drawing on a sketchpad.

Professional designers are clear about the need for precision and accuracy in everything that they do. While new consumer products (think the Surface line, iPad Pro or Galaxy Note) have made styluses fashionable again after years of neglect by the general public, creative professionals require a precise and intuitive digital sketching experience.

Powered by Wacom Active ES technology, the rechargeable ThinkPad Pen Pro brings the digital stylus closer than ever to a pen-to-paper experience, with 2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity that make drawing on the beautiful 2560 x 1440 IPS display an unmatched experience.

Once an idea is sketched, the P40 Yoga’s discrete NVIDIA graphics with 2GB VRAM and 6th generation Intel Core i7 processor make rendering designs in powerful applications a simple part of the designer’s workflow. For maximum performance, the P40 Yoga can be equipped with up to 16GBs of RAM and 512GBs of superfast SSD storage.

As part of the ThinkPad line, the P40 Yoga is built to exacting standards, fulfilling more Mil-SPEC standards than ever before for maximum reliability and durability in the office or on the road. Its advanced materials and construction ensure lightweight design despite its advanced features and long battery life.
