Developed byElliptic Labs,theAI Virtual Human Presence Sensordetects when you are not present in front of the device and automatically enables sleep mode.

While it conserves battery life and reduces the power bill, another vital aspect can’t be ignored.

The auto sleep sensor in Lenovo laptops eliminates the possibility of unpermitted access. Anyone without login credentials can’t use the PC after you step away, which is a concern in organizations and co-working spaces.

The best part, theAI Virtual Human Presence Sensoris all software-based. Subsequently, integrating it with other PCs and laptops would be simple to implement. Besides, this will allow lower-end PCs to feature an auto sleep sensor, something currently exclusive to devices in the higher price range.

As perBusiness Wire, Laila Danielsen, CEO of Elliptic Labs, said,

In the coming days, we should see more Lenovo laptops shipping with theAI Virtual Human Presence Sensor. Other manufacturers, too, are expected to adopt the technology, given the minimal cost implications.

If you are considering these Lenovo laptops for the auto sleep sensor, there’s another good news! TheLenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 5series, with aniFixit repairability score of 9/10, is expected to last for years without ever taking it to the certified service center.
