We've got some juicy revelations about Lenovo's 2020 ThinkPad plans and
some insight about the Intel Tiger Lake launch date all thanks to a
leaked roadmap from a PDF presentation in Germany, NotebookCheck
reported.To get more news about

Lenovo's ThinkPad series is known for its refined black aesthetic,
strong productivity, impressive build quality and the show-stealing
star, the Thinkpad X1 Carbon. Many ThinkPad devices aren't
pocket-friendly, which is why our ears perked up at the mention of an
upcoming affordable laptop lineup.The leaked roadmap unearthed Lenovo's
plans to release "affordable" workstation models within the ThinkPad
family, including a model called ThinkPad P15v. The "v" in the name
signifies that this configuration will be a value version of the
higher-priced ThinkPad P15 model. Both models are slated to hit shelves
later this year with Comet Lake H-series CPU chips.
NotebookCheck added that Lenovo may also release a refreshed ThinkPad
P15v under the T-series umbrella called the ThinkPad T15p. The models
will be quite similar, but both will sport different GPUs.
The ThinkPad P15, by the way, will be the successor to the chunky,
heavy-duty workstation known as the ThinkPad P53, which hints that
Lenovo has adopted a new naming convention. The upcoming Lenovo ThinkPad
P17 will succeed the ThinkPad P73 -- another example of Lenovo's naming
shift.Lenovo, according to the roadmap, is expecting the 10nm Intel
Tiger Lake chips and the lower-powered Lakefield CPUs to launch in
September or October. The Chinese tech giant plans to release several
models with the highly anticipated hardware, including the X1 Fold.
We're quite familiar with the X1 Fold -- we got our hands on the Lenovo
product at CES this year. Touted as the world's first foldable PC, the
Windows 10 device is expected to set you back a whopping $2,500. The X1
Fold, according to Liliputing, will sport an Intel Lakefield five-core
processor.
As for Intel Tiger Lake, NotebookCheck suspects the chip will debut in
at least three upcoming models: The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Titanium, the
ThinkPad X1 Nano and the ThinkPad X12.
The ThinkPad X12, featuring a 12-inch display, is particularly
eye-catching because it's a detachable device reminiscent of the
Microsoft Surface-style design.With Lenovo poised to release at least 16
new laptops this year, there seems to be an option for everyone -- from
the stunning, break-the-bank X1 Fold with its foldable OLED display to
the budget-friendly ThinkPad P15v.
Intel Tiger Lake chips will debut on Lenovo's most premium models, and
we're excited to see how the follow-up to the 10th-gen Ice Lake
processor family performs on our real-world testing.It's also worth
noting that Intel isn't the only processor that Lenovo will stuff into
its products this year -- AMD will get some shine as well, especially
for a few models in Lenovo's T and L series device line-up.
We can't help but wonder if any of the upcoming additions to Lenovo's
portfolio will make the same waves as its X1 Carbon superstar.
