Lenovo Captures Two Red Dot “Best of the Best” Design Awards

Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) today announced the new ThinkPad X1 Carbon ultrabook and ThinkVision LT2934z panoramic monitor have earned the prestigious 2014 Red Dot “Best of the Best” product design award, the highest distinction from one of the largest design competitions in the world. Lenovo is also honoured to receive product design awards for the ThinkPad 8 Tablet and Quickshot Cover, the ThinkPad Ultra Messenger carrying case and the ThinkVision LT1423p touch monitor.

These awards follow Lenovo’s achievement of being chosen as the Red Dot Design Team of the Year for 2013. Red Dot is a prestigious annual international design competition based in Essen Germany. Only the best products are honoured with this highly sought-after award which is seen as a worldwide seal of product design excellence. The winning products were selected from nearly 5000 works by designers, architects, and manufacturers from 53 nations and were chosen by an international panel of 40 judges, with expertise in various areas of industrial design. The winning products will be on display in the Red Dot Design Museum in Essen Germany, in a bound exhibition catalog, and in their online multi-media exhibition.

“Earning Red Dot “Best of the Best” awards is an honour and proof of the design team’s ongoing work to deliver truly inspiring designs and products to our customers around the world,” said David Hill, vice president, Think Design and User Experience, Lenovo. “The ThinkPad X1 Carbon and ThinkVision LT2934z are products that enhance the iconic Think design language, providing ultra-light mobile computing and awe-inspiring visuals in sleek and elegant form factors.”

A “best of CES 2014” award winner, the new ThinkPad X1 Carbon offers a durable carbon-fiber construction packed with innovative features like an Adaptive Keyboard that changes function keys with apps, voice and hand gestures for a liberated interactive experience and a stunning ColorBurst Display for crisper and brighter images. The ThinkVision LT2934z delivers a remarkable visual experience thanks to its 2560x1080 panoramic display. Moreover, it packs a class leading Voice-over-IP (VOIP) solution and can switch seamlessly and efficiently between two connected PC systems.

The awards will be presented to Lenovo at a gala event in Essen, Germany, on July 7, 2014.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
