With a firm drive to push forward with AI-ready PCs, Lenovo has launched two Next Gen Copilot+ PCs – the Yoga Slim 7x and ThinkPad T14s Gen 6.
Both of them are powered by the powered by Snapdragon X Elite processor featuring the 12-core Qualcomm Oryon CPU, Qualcomm Adreno GPU and a dedicated Qualcomm Hexagon NPU.
For context, that NPU can process up to 45 trillion operations per second.

They leverage generative AI and machine learning capabilities, with Copilot+ assisting users in composing compelling text, crafting engaging visuals, and streamlining common productivity tasks.
The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x’s Hexagon NPU is positioned by Lenovo as “a thin portable, device” with enhanced AI capabilities.
