Lenovo details new desktop and laptops with AMD seventh-generation Pro APUs

AMD officially unveiled the first wave of Lenovo computers to use its seventh-generation Pro APUs. These components have been designed with the business user in mind, offering benefits like enhanced security and increased energy efficiency.

Among the first Lenovo systems to use an AMD Pro APU is the ThinkCentre M715 Tiny, a desktop that packs a punch despite its small stature. This particular system is apparently 94 percent smaller than a traditional desktop tower, which could potentially be a very attractive feature for certain enterprise customers. Several different mounting options allow these computers to be placed just about anywhere; affixed under a desk, to a wall, or even on the back of a monitor.

AMD’s 35W seventh-generation Pro processors were designed for this kind of small form factor system, meaning that the M715 Tiny can deliver strong, efficient performance.

Lenovo is also fielding two new laptops that feature AMD’s APUs. Both the ThinkPad E475 and E575 both boast AMD Radeon R5 M430 graphics, as well as enterprise-oriented features like enhanced VOIP support and high-quality microphones to help facilitate videoconferencing.

The E475 and E575 are built for users who are on the move, measuring less than one inch thick and weighing as light as 4.1 pounds.

“These latest AMD Pro based-systems from Lenovo are optimized for business and deliver increased computing and graphics performance, at levels that meet the highest of customer expectations,” said Jim Anderson, senior vice president of AMD’s computing and graphics group. “We are thrilled to partner with Lenovo to bring this technology to companies and enterprises around the world.”

The M715 Tiny will be available on October 31. The ThinkPad E475 and E575 will be available on November 7.

Lenovo’s display concept turns your laptop into a mobile powerhouse
Lenovo Dual Display concept shown off at MWC 2025

Like many professionals who work remotely, I love working from home for one key reason: No, it’s not so I can wear pajamas to work (which I do), but so I can use my dual or triple-screen setup. The exact number of screens varies throughout the year, but one constant remains: my monitors.

I also love to travel often, and it’s always more challenging to work from the road. Laptops like the Yoga Book 9i take a unique approach to solving this, as the two OLED displays make it simple to work with multiple windows. However, this solution doesn’t always work, especially as the two displays are stacked on top of each other versus being horizontally aligned.

Did Lenovo’s new solar PC just change the future of laptops?

At MWC (Mobile World Conference) in Barcelona today, Lenovo revealed a proof of concept for "a PC powered by the sun." The entire lid of the laptop has been decked out with a top-class solar panel capable of 24% conversion efficiency -- which is as high as the best roof-top panels you can buy.

According to Lenovo, 20 minutes in direct sunlight will power up to one hour of video playback on the PC, and even low-light conditions will allow enough power generation to sustain the laptop's battery charge while idling. The high efficiency is achieved through "Back Contact Cell" technology and an advanced tracking system that constantly adjusts the charger's settings to maximize energy-saving and stability.

Lenovo’s new take on foldable screen laptops quite literally stands tall
The ThinkBook Flip Al PC read mode.

Lenovo continues experimenting with unique computing designs, bringing a new concept to Barcelona for Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025. The brand has showcased a proof of concept called the ThinkBook Flip AI PC concept, which is essentially a 5-in-1 laptop, with five distinct display modes of function.

Many are familiar with 2-in-1 devices, that function as a standard clamshell computer, and swivel on a 360-hinge to stand in an easel style, for reading, creativity, and productivity functions. However, the ThinkBook Flip AI PC takes advantage of several of Lenovo’s developments over recent years, including foldable and rollable technologies. The device includes a dual hinge feature that supports the five usage modes– and can be used for display optimization, productivity, multitasking, and collaboration.
