Lenovo joined this year's CES with lots of announcements, and something of the most exciting concerns the debut from the new ThinkPad Z models.

The two devices, which will hit the shelves as the 2022 ThinkPad Z13 and ThinkPad Z16, are powered by AMD Ryzen processors, and Lenovo says it specifically collaborated with AMD to help make the event possible.

More specifically, power on the Z13 will come from the Pro U-series processor, while an exclusive AMD Ryzen Pro 6860Z chip can be obtained as optional. The Z16, on the other hand, is equipped with the Pro H-series processor.

The hardware specifics are pretty solid. Both laptops can be equipped with as much as 32GB of LPDDR5 memory, with the Z13 available too with up to 1TB of SSD storage. The Z6 gets twice more when it comes to storage, and it also sports an optional AMD Radeon RX 6500M discrete GPU.

Both devices come with an army of connectivity options, including USB-C, a 3.5mm audio port, Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi, LTE, and an SD card reader on the larger model.

To take sale in May

They are, unsurprisingly, powered by Windows 11 as they are.

"AMD Ryzen Pro 6000 Series processors with Qualcomm FastConnect 6900 offer advanced manageability and state of the art Wi-Fi connectivity on Z13 and Z16. Additionally, Qualcomm 4-stream Dual Band Simultaneous (DBS) on AMD Ryzen Pro 6000 Series processors enables sustained low latency potential of Wi-Fi Dual Station, natively supported on Windows 11," Lenovo explains.

A fingerprint audience also built-into the laptop keyboard, coming alongside a backlighting option and 120mm haptic ForcePad support.

Both laptops will hit the shelves in May this year, and also the Z13 is going to be available from $1,549. The Z16 is actually more expensive given the larger screen and also the upgraded specs, so its cost starts at $2,099.
