Wang Zhong emphasized ThinkPad’s 33-year dedication to “craftsmanship quality, technological innovation, and excellent experience,”โ and its โคrequest to supporting โขthe China Open and the growth of Chinese tennis.
The event served as the launchpad for ThinkPad’s new AI โPCs, including the ThinkPad X1 Carbon โฃAura AI Yuanqi version โฃand the ThinkPad โฃX9โ Aura AI yuanqi version. Theseโ devices โขare equipped withโ “Tianxi,”โ a personal super intelligent body offering five core AI functions: AI โคcontrol, AI notes, AI โsearch, AIโ translation, and AI services. Wang Zhong positioned Tianxi as aโข step towards evolving AI terminals into “personalโ intelligent twins” (AI Twins), envisioning it as a keyโฃ interface for โhuman-computer interaction in the AI era.
Beyond these core functions, ThinkPadโ AI PCs offer โขfour additional features – a knowledge base, model square, AI Space, and Linglongtai – providing access to 24 โlarge language โฃmodels (including DeepSeek, Doubao, andโข Hunyuan) and over 200 AI applications focused on productivity tasks like office work, writing, and โvideo editing.

ThinkPad’s presence at the Chinaโ Open extended to a dedicated pop-upโฃ store,designed โas anโค “AI check-in point” for fans.
