Tile, the pioneer in finding technology, continues to grow its presence in the PC market with the introduction of Tile-enabled Lenovo ThinkPad X1 laptops. Lenovo’s all new X1 Carbon 10th Gen, X1 Yoga 7th Gen and X1 Nano 2nd Gen will be enabled with Tile finding technology, making it easy for customers to find their laptop, even when it’s offline. This collaboration follows Tile’s integration with HP, marking a notable expansion within the category and continued growth as the finding solution for PC owners around the world.
“The lines between work, school and home life have become increasingly blurred, making it even more critical for people to feel confident they can keep track of their laptop whether they’re at home, the office, the coffee shop or on the road,” said CJ Prober, CEO of Tile. “Our work with Lenovo extends Tile’s finding capabilities to millions of ThinkPad PCs through our free Windows and mobile apps, giving consumers added peace of mind knowing they can get through their day without the frustrating disruption of misplacing their laptop.”
To make the new ThinkPad X1 laptops findable, users simply download and install the free Tile Windows App from the Microsoft Store and activate their ThinkPad as a Tile. They can then locate their ThinkPad using the free Tile app on any Android or iOS smartphone, even if it’s shut down and offline, for up to 14 days. When finding nearby, the Tile app can be used to ring their PC within a Bluetooth range of up to 250 ft. If a user’s PC is outside of Bluetooth range, they can use the Tile app to view its most recent location or enlist the secure help of Tile’s global Network to aid in their search. The new Tile-enabled ThinkPad X1 laptops will be available for purchase starting in March, 2022.
“Our collaboration with Tile allows us to bring an additional layer of security to our new ThinkPad X1 portfolio, which is optimised for the hybrid worker through enhanced performance and security features,” said Tom Butler, executive director, Commercial Portfolio and Product Management, Lenovo PCSD. “As consumers adjust to their new normal, adding findability to their PC is a valuable resource we’re thrilled we can offer.”

With a longer finding range, louder ring and voice-enabled finding through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, we’re making it even easier for people to quickly find what they need.”
New Lineup Strengthens Finding Power
Tile’s versatile lineup of trackers are doubling down on the useful features that help consumers get through their day worry-free. The Pro, Tile’s most powerful tracker with a 400 ft. finding range, gets a new look and feel to accommodate its most common use case: keys. With a lightweight body and slender shape resembling a key fob, the Pro easily attaches right out of the box and hangs comfortably from a keychain, and still looks great on bags and purses. The Mate, Sticker and Slim have all been upgraded to an impressive 250 ft. finding range, which is an increase of 25% for Mate and Slim, and a 67% increase for Sticker. These three models also now boast a louder ring, making it even easier to quickly find a remote control or wallet hidden between couch cushions. Additionally, the Mate now features a 3-year battery life and a sleek new look that’s available in both white and black. All four models have been upgraded to an IP67 water-resistance rating, meaning they can be submerged in one meter of water for up to 30 minutes.

Tile Lost and Found Feature Adds More Finders
Tile has also boosted the out of home experience with a new way to find lost items called Tile Lost and Found.This service allows a user to expand the Tile Finding Network to any good samaritan who discovers their lost item. Every Tile (excluding the Sticker) will now have a QR code on the back so anyone who finds a lost Tile can scan it, see the owner’s provided contact information, and coordinate how to reunite the lost item with its owner. Now anyone with a smartphone can help someone find a lost item, giving consumers one more reason to feel confident they’ll be able to keep track of their things with a Tile attached.
New Safety Feature Helps Address Unwanted Tracking
At Tile, safety and security are a top priority. Tile trackers are designed for locating lost items, not for tracking people, which is why Tile is developing a solution that seeks to help victims of domestic abuse and the potential misuse of a tracking device. Created with guidance from an advocacy organisation that are experts in this area, the new Scan and Secure feature will enable anyone with the Tile app (even if they don’t have an active Tile account) to easily scan for and detect nearby Tile devices and identify if an unknown device is near them. This new feature will be available to Android and iOS users early next year. Tile will continue to seek guidance from advocacy organisations on the development of future iterations of this feature that will further enhance user safety. Tile will also provide resources and information to victims about how to stay safe if they suspect they are being tracked.
