- Lenovo thinks one pro combines PC Power, AI and conference equipment for a surprisingly compact wall unit
- AI -indraming and video fence promise a clearer call but they are hardly industrial firl
- Eight microphones with DSP aim to eliminate echo, background noise and meet confusion
In a time of hybrid work and increasingly distant cooperation, Lenovo has revealed what it claims is a pioneering all-in-one meeting solution.
Thinksmart One Pro is a compact device that merges calculation, audio and intelligent video in a single wall -mounted bar.
Technically, Thinksmart One Pro is a full PC, but Lenovo places it as a mini-PC for modern conferences as it has a full HD, high-definition camera with AI-powered features such as dynamic framing, intelligent zoom and video fence.
AI-enhanced cooperation in a compact form
These tools improve visual clarity, but they are not unique. Many of the best webcams on the market are already offering AI -emergency and noise filtration.
In the heart of Thinksmart One Pro is an embedded Intel Core i5 processor with Intel VPRO running Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, but its value may be more in its integration than by introducing radically new capabilities.
The 10.1-inch touch screen controller available in two models provides intuitive access to video calls via leading video conferencing platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Webex or Google Meet.
The display supports anti-glare and anti-smudge features, and with support for HDMI and POE addresses the general concerns about delay and connection.
The unit’s primary point of sale is its audio functions that include eight integrated microphones with 180-degree coverage and advanced DSP functions for ECHO and noise reduction.
It also has stereo speakers that are capable of producing 15 watts.
This raises the question of whether such a sound array is really necessary for the small spaces for which it is intended.
Lenovo has also included Bring-Your-Oven-Device (Byod) compatibility, allowing users to connect their laptops and benefit from Thinksmart One Pro’s antivirus capacities.
“Knowledge workers everywhere appreciate very well-equipped spaces that enable the latest AI-driven functions and applications for meeting and collaboration,” said Marcus Kennedy, general manager of commercial solutions to Lenovo.
Lenovo also includes implementation support and a thinksmart Premium license for the first year.
Pricing starts at $ 2,999 for USB -Controller -bundt and rises to $ 3,499 for the IP version.
This device is not cheap and it seems that Lenovo is targeting organizations that prioritize seamless, business quality collaboration tools.
At these pricing points, potential buyers can still consider whether bundling these features to a device really adds value to using separate high -quality components already available.
