Flexxon to tap Lenovo to launch three laptops based on their secure SSDs *Updated*
*Updated: 6 Aug 2021 10am with pricing and specs*
Singapore-based Flexxon announced its partnership with Lenovo to produce three different laptop series that come with embedded cybersecurity.
They will be launching them in September and are designed to cater to a range of different users.
The models look to be an ultraportable called the Zepto series, the Ace series that combines speed and performance, and a general-purpose laptop, the Cyberpad series.
But the unique factor will be the inclusion of Flexxon’s X-PHY Cyber Secure SSD. X-PHY delivers threat detection and resolution right at the NAND device storage level and uses firmware-controlled AI capabilities that operate to detect and deal with anomalies. This is more secure than relying on software-based security solutions.
Pricing and availability
At this moment we don’t have any of the specs or planned pricing for the three different models. We will update this article when we receive more information.
