Lenovo has released the ThinkSmart View Plus, an integrated device with a 27-inch multi-touch display, premium video and audio, and built-in compute.
ThinkSmart View Plus can be used in monitor mode, with its ergonomic stand and convenient cell phone stand on the base, or mounted to walls.
It features a passive stylus pen and a Microsoft whiteboard application.
Users can also hear and be heard more clearly with a premium soundbar with two 5w speakers and four-mic array, while the 4K IRGB camera with auto framing and AI security delivers crisp, clear images.
It utilizes the Qualcomm QCS8250 System-on-Chip (SoC), a purpose-built chip for enterprise and commercial IoT applications from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. The premium-tier processor is designed to provide maximum performance for compute-intensive camera and Edge AI applications, and also features support of Wi-Fi 6.
It provides access to Teams chat, calendar, and files, while also enabling workers to join meetings through the device for a customized and secure Microsoft Teams display experience.
When connected to a user’s PC, the ThinkSmart View Plus enables screensharing between the two devices.
Additionally, it easily shifts to monitor mode when connected to a PC through USB-C.
The device running Teams display also offers hotdesking capabilities and a hybrid work solution that allows employees to quickly locate flexible workspaces to touch down and make calls, set up ad-hoc meetings, or sign into their personal Teams experience.
Once signed-in, employees can enjoy smooth transitions from their home office to work office, all while having a customized Teams experience.
Upon sign out, user’s personal information is removed from the device—minimizing security risks.
“In these times of hybrid work, customers need a solution designed to bring Microsoft Teams to hotdesks and phonebooths,” said Albert Kooiman, Senior Director of Microsoft Teams Devices Partner Engineering and Certification at Microsoft.
“Lenovo’s new ThinkSmart View Plus running Microsoft Teams display is purpose-built just for those spaces, and complements Lenovo’s Microsoft Teams Rooms solutions build for larger meeting spaces.”
The ThinkSmart View Plus will be available in select markets worldwide starting mid-2023 – ANZ pricing and availability will be confirmed soon.
