Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Laptop Review: Unique E-Ink Display Meets Average Hardware

Notebookcheck's review of Lenovo's ThinkBook Plus, a 13.3-inch laptop aimed at small businesses and students. Its additional e-ink display is without a doubt its most prominent and unique feature.

Intel Comet Lake: CPU/GPU performance not very good;single-channel RAM;no Thunderbolt, no microSD;few security features;short default warranty

Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Twist combines OLED and color E-Ink displays in one weird convertible laptop

The ThinkBook Plus Twist is trying really hard to make color E-Ink a thing, but this 2-in-1 laptop could be a tough sell at $1,649.

We look forward to putting this unique convertible through its paces once it becomes available. Stay tuned for our full ThinkBook Plus Twist review.

Lenovo ThinkBook Plus review – far away from ordinary

Because your ordinary laptop is just too boring. This is one of the few reasons Lenovo created the ThinkBook Plus. However, it is far from being the major one. When you think of the most things bus…

Useful E-Ink display with a stylus inside the box;Decent upgradability;The display doesn’t flicker at any brightness level (LG LP133WF7-SPB1);Has a good contrast ratio and comfortable viewing angles (LG LP133WF7-SPB1);Covers 92% of sRGB and color...

Lacks an SD card reader and has only one USB Type-C port, also used for charging;Not the best cooling solution out there

Lenovo’s ThinkBook Plus laptop sports an e-ink display on its lid — and I like it

The ThinkBook Plus features an e-ink display on the cover for notifications, taking notes and more. But there's some trade-offs.

The ThinkBook Plus is a bit pricey given that it doesn't offer a touch screen on the inside, and it's heftier than other ultraportables. So we look forward to putting this laptop through its paces once we get it into our labs to see if this experiment...

Hands on: the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Twist is a revolution for laptop designs

Forget foldables: the twistable laptop is back, baby

E Ink display is intruiging ; Speedy 13th-gen Intel processor ; Good keyboard ; Twisting hinge actually feels pretty durable

Just two USB-C ports ; Damage to exterior display a possibility ; Secondary display bezels are huge

A totally weird laptop design that we still found oddly captivating, the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Twist has a lot of balls in the air - but it manages to keep juggling with powerful new components and an impressive E Ink secondary display.

Lenovo ThinkBook Plus initial review: Dual-screen delight or dud?

With an external E Ink display, Lenovo's dual-screen ThinkBook Plus is a different tool than a standard laptop. Does it makes sense?

If the idea of an E Ink display for reading, note-taking and annotating is a real appeal then the ThinkBook Plus will be a rewarding purchase option. It's seamlessly integrated into the device, including various privacy measures to keep your work private.

Lenovo ThinkBook Plus review: Hands on with the E Ink laptop

Part e-reader, part laptop, the ThinkBook Plus is certainly unique

I will concede, though, that the ThinkBook range remains a fine choice for smaller businesses, with some neat security touches: a fingerprint reader built into the power button, a TPM 2.0 module and it comes with Windows 10 Pro, not Windows 10 Home.
