Artificial intelligence, and especially newer generative AI technology, is an incredibly powerful tool that may completely transform how business is conducted.
For example, generative AI can quickly comb the large language models and data sets that it’s been trained with in order to uncover obscure or hidden connections that might take a human a much longer time. This makes it especially valuable in the medical field for things such as contact tracing or identifying possible drug interactions.
However, an AI-powered model working at peak efficiency requires powerful processors capable of performing trillions of operations per second. More TOPS makes queries return faster. Depending on the model, this can also make AI “smarter” by giving it more opportunity to query and analyze the LLMs. In general, the baseline for effective AI use is 11 TOPS. That is just one reason the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 we tested with the Hexagon neural processing unit was so impressive: It can perform at 45 TOPS, four times better than most other laptops.

A Portable Device That’s Optimized for AI
The entire laptop is optimized for AI, starting with the Snapdragon X Elite processor with 12 cores. This is combined with 32gigabytes of ultra fast LPDDR5X SDRAM. The hard drive is speedy too, a 1- terabyte NVM Express solid-state model that operates at near-memory speeds. Even components that don’t directly contribute to AI performance, such as the graphics processing unit, are designed to draw very little power and stay out of the way, like the Qualcomm Adreno GPU does here.
And while effective AI is the primary focus of the new ThinkPad, it’s not the only thing that it does well. Lenovo worked directly with the makers of 175 of the top premium business and productivity app companies to make sure that they too could natively take advantage of the powerful Snapdragon X Elite processor and the Windows Arm architecture.
When using those applications, the performance is impressive, even when compared with something such as a fast but unoptimized desktop. And all of them are displayed on a brilliant IPS monitor with a native resolution of 1920 by 1200 (WUXGA) that still somehow manages to barely sip at the available battery life.
Rugged and Ready for Healthcare’s Rough Environment
Finally, the ThinkPad has been certified as rugged against many of the most frequently encountered hazards found in the U.S. military’s testing suite. That will help to ensure the ThinkPad’s survival in unpredictable healthcare environments.
The new Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 is a powerful notebook that is able to efficiently perform almost any business type task while also fully supporting and driving the rise of innovative AI initiatives in the healthcare field.
