The PC manufacturer Lenovo is preparing to launch new ThinkPad laptops. For the upcoming launch, Lenovo will host a virtual event on September 29. The event is set to revolve around the ThinkPad X1 series.

They already announced the nano and titanium right? Could it be AMD based X1s? :o
I believe Nano and Titanium have not been announced yet, just leaked.
Judging from the wording in the Lenovo tweet, referring to 'new styles', I would assume the event is about these two models (and perhaps another that we don't know yet about).
Carbon announcements have usually taken place during CES in early January every year. And they did release the 8th generation model relatively recently (and quite late, in Europe). So it is not very likely that they would already announce a new one.
Still, with various significant changes rumored for the next Carbon (perhaps a 16:10 screen, an AMD processor), one could consider the 8th gen as a minor revamp of the 7th, to kill the time until the new, redesigned 9th gen shows up - and to get rid of existing chassis backlog. One never knows!
Since when does a year have 29 months? Typical murricans...
I already know thete won't be any AMD Ryzen products, so probably the Asus Zepyrkebab G14 2021 with webcam will be the next workhorse.
for sure, it won't be AMD related because after registration the event page shows a big Intel logo
That was a very boring 45min of people talking about slow Intel based laptops. Not much in terms of products, specs and benchmarks.
