AMD + Lenovo | Lenovo Now Launches A 12.5-Inch ThinkPad A285 with AMD Ryzen-Vega PRO APUs
Lenovo Japan on Thursday said: it would begin selling its ThinkPad A285 laptop on September 21.
We are beginning to see AMD CPUs/APUs in many new brands and laptops we have not seen much before. This mobile PC is one of the thinnest and lightest notebooks based on AMD’s Ryzen PRO introduced thus far. Besides being very compact, the ThinkPad A285 is among the first Ryzen PRO-based laptops to feature a suite of business and enterprise-oriented features from AMD and Lenovo. Lenovo Japan plans to offer an A285 with a non-touch Full-HD screen.
Lenovo’s ThinkPad A285 notebooks will have different configurations aimed at various prices. Different configs will be based on AMD’s Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U with Radeon Vega 10, Ryzen 5 PRO 2500U with Radeon Vega 8, or Ryzen 3 PRO 2200U with Radeon Vega 3 APUs. Other options will include 8 or 16 GB of soldered-down DDR4-2400 memory, and depending on exact model they will be equipped with a PCIe/NVMe SSD (up to 512 GB) with OPAL 2.0-encrypted options available to interested parties.
ThinkPad A285 features a 2×2 802.11ac + Bluetooth 4.2 controller, which is a standard feature for today’s business notebooks.
