Lenovo usually announces new ThinkPads at the CES conference in Las Vegas, at the beginning of the year. This year was no different, with many new features and some controversial changes - for ThinkPad fans at least - announced.
My guest today is Benjamin Herzig, whom shares his thoughts about this year ThinkPad features.
Benjamin has been a ThinkPad user since 2010. Originally he was not a fan of the design, but his first ThinkPad R60 quickly made him fall in love with the quality of the ThinkPads in every aspect, especially the keyboards and the TrackPoint. Since 2016, he has been working for Notebookcheck, mostly reporting on business laptops.

Music is an essential part of the movie, computer game and even role playing game experience. We use music to enhance our stories. But how is music made today? I talk with indie music composer and producer Matti Paalanen about what it takes to make orchestral music. We talk about how he makes music and how he got started. We also touch on vocals and vocal generation, actual music generation by AI among others topics.
Matti Paalanen is an indie producer from Finland who has focused on the digital music business and its possibilities in the past years. He runs Ouranio Recordings label and at least tries his best to stay up to date regarding music technology and the possibilites that the evey changing digital realm has to offer when it comes to music production and marketing.
You can listen to Matti's music on Spotify.
Matti mentioned Cubase as his DAW of choice.
Matti also mentioned Synthesizer V that he used for vocal generations.

We talk about Motorola's ThinkPhone, an Android smartphone that resembles a Lenovo ThinkPad. It is a great companion device for any ThinkPad user, and offers a lot of features to help get the most out of your phone and computer together. We go through the various features "Ready For" offers to help you out.
In this episode I talk with Atli Jarl Martin from Iceland, a big ThinkPad fan and collector. Atli has worked in various jobs but is currently in IT administration and deals with a lot of ThinkPads. The ThinkPhone is his new weapon of choice as far as mobile phones go.
