Lenovo introduces ThinkPad L390 laptops with Intel Whiskey Lake CPU

Lenovo has unveiled the new 13.3-inch ThinkPad L390 and L390 Yoga notebooks, which now have the latest Intel Whiskey Lake processors while maintaining the two advantages of their predecessors, the ThinkPad L380 and L380 Yoga.

Lenovo ThinkPad L390 and L390 Yoga are presented with Intel Whiskey Lake chips

Lenovo ThinkPad L-series laptops represent the value class of Lenovo’s ThinkPad product portfolio, attracting both professionals and consumers who want a more serious notebook solution. T endrán a price from $ 659 for the L390 and L390 for 889 dollars Yoga, and will be available in December in either black or silver.

The new L390 Yoga maintains two useful features that were also offered in the L380 Yoga– the “World Camera” mounted on a hinge that can be used for workers or students in the field, in addition to the Lenovo Active Pen within the L390 Yoga chassis. This last feature helps to avoid losing the Active Pen inside a backpack or in the pocket of the shirt, a comfort that few of its competitors -with the exception of the Samsung Notebook 9 Pen, perhaps- offer. Both laptops also have the MIL-SPEC certificate, for greater durability.

The new “Whiskey Lake” chips promise 10% more performance than previous eighth-generation Kaby Lake R chips, and 50 percent more performance than a seventh-generation Intel Core chip.

Both laptops are easy to use, with USB-A and USB-C ports, although there is no Thunderbolt yet. There is also a fingerprint reader and a front depth camera certified by Windows Hello. For the rest, the new improvements are largely internal. This is what we know about the L390 and the L390 Yoga:
