Lenovo might be looking to incorporate Broadwell into two new PCs

The Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro is one of the company’s most worthy products, coming with advanced specifications but also with a premium price tag.

Now, it appears that the company is looking to roll out the next-generation devices in the lineup. As Notebook Italia points out, a couple of listings for two never before seen Lenovo products have showed up on the website of Indonesian agency Postel.

By the looks of it, Lenovo is planning to bring forth the Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro hybrid, but also the business-centric Lenovo ThinkPad X250 laptop. So it looks like we should be expecting to see good things coming out of Lenovo in the near future.

The first product has been listed as a “laptop PC,” so the additional keyboard and 360-degree tilting screen will also be present with the new version.

Surely, this will not be a completely new product, but rather an upgraded version of the current Yoga 2 Pro. But is there room for upgrading?

Not exactly, since the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro arrives with a 13.3-inch IPS display boasting a beautiful resolution of 3200 x 1800 pixels.

Everything is kept alive and running by an Intel Haswell processor with choices going as far as i7. The laptop is fitted with 8GB of RAM, 512GB solid state storage, and should provide up to 9 hours of work time.

Given the fact that the Yoga 2 Pro already sports the best of the best, it makes sense to speculate that the upcoming Yoga 3 Pro will take advantage of Intel’s upcoming Intel Broadwell 14nm architecture. Intel said that we should expect some products with Broadwell to arrive in time for the holiday season, but the wider availability is scheduled for 2015.

Therefore, Lenovo’s Yoga 3 Pro might arrive in the wild sometime in 2015. As for the ThinkPad X250, the business laptop will be the successor of the current ThinkPad X240.

The device currently available on the market arrives with a 12-inch Full HD display (there’s a touch and non-touch option), Intel Haswell (up to Core i7), 8GB of RAM, and several storage solutions (like SSDs and hard drives up to 1TB).

So, the same thing applies here as well. In all possibility, the ThinkPad X250 will be based on Broadwell. This is all just pure speculation at this point because the Postel listings don’t give away any details about the specs, but hopefully the two new models will make a guest appearance at IFA 2014 in Berlin and then we’ll know more.
