Drive Control Corporation (DCC) has introduced the ThinkBook 14 and 15 laptops to its SADC channel partners which include Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe. Malawi, Lesotho, Eswatini as well as the DRC.

Available from April 2020, the ThinkBook 14 and 15 have been designed with SMBs in mind and offer excellent performance, connectivity and security features at a cost-effective price point.

The ThinkBook laptops are lightweight and come in a thin form factor; the ThinkBook14 is 17.9mm and weighs only 1.5kg while the ThinkBook 15 is 18.9mm and weighs 1.8kg. Plus, the laptops incorporate anodised aluminium covers that are both durable and eye catching, enhancing today’s working environments.

“Lenovo has certainly set a new benchmark for laptops that price sensitive but still packed with performance and security features – it is the great offering for our SADC partners and their SMB customers,” says Steven Opperman, Lenovo product specialist at DCC.

The ThinkBook 14 and 15 both include a USB 2.0 port with shutter that closes, effectively hiding it from view. Users can therefore rest assured keyboard, mouse and nano USB flash drives are out of sight and protected from prying hands. This feature is particularly useful in crowded public areas such as cafes and airports.
