One of the newest machines Lenovo introduced at Mobile World Congress is its first ThinkPad laptop running on Qualcomm's latest laptop processor. The ThinkPad X13s is powered by the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 chip. It's also designed to be a lightweight, energy-efficient machine. It comes in at just 2.5 pounds with its fanless design, featuring top and bottom panels made from 90 percent recycled magnesium. It has a low-power 400-nit 13.3-inch display, which it says helps to keep the ThinkPad X13s running for up to 28 hours on a single charge.

As a mobile gadget, it ensures you stay connected to a speedy internet connection with support for 5G (both sub-6Hz and mmWave) and Wi-Fi 6E. It also has up to 32GB of RAM, up to 1TB of PCIe storage, and two USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports.

Huawei announces half e-reader, half tablet MatePad Paper

Huawei's newest tablet is also an e-reader. If you wanted more features than a Kindle, that's what the MatePad Paper offers. It's a 10.3-inch device featuring a greyscale screen with an anti-glare reflective display for low-light use. It can reproduce 256 shades of greyscale to display text, images, and videos. I'm not sure I'd be too excited about black & white videos (unless they're created that way). But it's an option here. It also has 32 levels of backlighting.

For an e-ink device, the MatePad Paper has relatively smaller bezels. Huawei says it can achieve an 86.3 percent screen-to-body ratio but gets a book spine-inspired design to make sure you still have something to hold. The MatePad Paper also supports the Huawei M Pencil, so you can scribble or annotate on documents or books. According to the company, it has refined the sensitivity of the textured screen to 26ms, which might not seem much for newer devices. But it's a notable feature on a matte e-ink surface.
