MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FINsix Corporation (FINsix), the worldwide leader in high-frequency power electronics, today announced its partnership with Lenovo, the largest PC manufacturer in the world, to bring Lenovo’s global customers the smallest ever 65W charger option for ThinkPad laptops.
The two companies have collaborated under a joint development agreement, and Lenovo is set to offer the new charger, dubbed the ThinkPad 65W Micro Adapter, as an option for the newly announced ThinkPad X1 Carbon and X1 Yoga. FINsix and Lenovo will be exhibiting the new charger at CES, the global consumer electronics trade show, January 6-9 in Las Vegas.
At 58 cubic centimeters, the FINsix charger delivers a 3x size and weight reduction compared to traditional adapters. It also has best-in-class efficiency, making a meaningful reduction in energy usage for all users. For the first time ever, Lenovo customers can pair ultra-thin and powerful notebooks with an equally advanced and capable charger.
“Lenovo is constantly searching for partners who have disruptive technologies that can add value to our customers,” said Luis Hernandez, vice president and general manager of Lenovo’s ThinkPad Business Unit. “We are working with FINsix because their power conversion technology is a game-changer. It brings a level of portability that we expect will become the standard of the future.”
The ThinkPad 65W Micro Adapter is based on the same high-frequency power technology as FINsix’s first product, the Dart, a 65W aftermarket laptop adapter with a 2.1 amp USB port for simultaneously charging phones, tablets, and other devices.
Vanessa Green, CEO of FINsix, said, “We are thrilled to partner with the market leader in personal computers. Lenovo has a strong customer base and this collaboration positions us to scale quickly among corporate customers eager to lighten their load when on the go.”
