Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 laptop review: 21:10 ultrawide productivity booster

The Lenovo ZenBook Duo. Cramming a second display onto a laptop has been challenging for makers like Asus, HP, and even Apple. However, we think Lenovo is closest to nailing the concept for a more seamless user experience.

The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 directly succeeds last year's ThinkBook Plus Gen 2. Though you can't tell from the name alone, the Gen 3 model is a significant change from its predecessor in more ways than most other laptops. While the Gen 2 model is a 16:10 13.3-inch convertible with a secondary 12-inch E-Ink touchscreen, the Gen 3 model is a 21:10 17.3-inch clamshell with a secondary 8-inch IPS touchscreen. The two models are so different that arguments could be made about the naming of the Gen 3 model in relation to Gen 2 as they both serve very different purposes.

Our Gen 3 review configuration includes the 12th gen Core i7-12700H CPU with 16 GB of soldered RAM and 512 GB PCIe4 storage for approximately $1600 USD. A Core i5-12500H SKU is available, but all options come with the exact same primary 3072 x 1440 matte IPS touchscreen, secondary 8-inch 800 x 1280 IPS touchscreen, and integrated Iris Xe graphics.

Alternatives to the ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 include the 15-inch Asus ZenBook Pro Duo series and other 17-inch laptops designed for content creators or office productivity like the LG Gram 17 or Dell XPS 17.

Case — Long And Thin

The chassis shares the same aluminum alloy materials as on other ThinkBook models like on the recent ThinkBook 16 G4 Plus. Thus, if you've held a ThinkBook model in the past, then the smooth dark gray surfaces of the ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 will feel instantly familiar. The design targets casual offices and SMB environments in between the consumer-centric Yoga and more traditional ThinkPad models.

Build quality is slightly below that of a Yoga or ThinkPad X series model. The lid and base are a bit more susceptible to twisting and creaking likely due to the larger 17.3-inch form factor and relatively thin skeleton. Alternatives like the smaller ZenBook Duo or heavier XPS 17 feel firmer and with a more solid feel especially in regards to their hinges.

The elongated aspect ratio has resulted in a chassis that's both wider but shorter than other 17-inch laptops. It's thankfully still thin and lightweight when considering its size category. The XPS 17, for example, is half a kilogram heavier.

Connectivity — Thunderbolt 4 Support

It would be a crime if the Gen 3 model came with fewer ports than the much smaller last generation model. The system integrates two USB-C ports much like its predecessor plus new USB-A and HDMI ports along the rear for a wider variety of options. Note that only one of the two USB-C ports is compatible with Thunderbolt, but either can be used for charging or DisplayPort.

There is no SD card reader which is a little disappointing considering the large form factor and focus on office/editing tasks.

Maintenance

The bottom panel is secured by nine T5 Torx screws. We recommend removing the pen from the rear first and then using that opening to more easily detach the panel from the base.

There is not much to upgrade once inside as both the WLAN and RAM modules are soldered.

Accessories and Warranty

The system integrates an active stylus much like on last year's Gen 2 model. The standard one-year limited manufacturer warranty applies if purchased in the US.

Input Devices — Spacious Keyboard Deck

Keyboard

The typing experience remains identical to other ThinkBook laptops including the ThinkBook 14 G4 despite the inclusion of the secondary touchscreen. The wider footprint allows for a relatively spacious clickpad, touchscreen, and keyboard all on one laptop whereas they can feel cramped on a smaller 14-inch or 15-inch ZenBook.

Key feedback is shallow and light not unlike the keyboards on many Yoga, IdeaPad, or midrange Ultrabook models. ThinkPad keyboards are generally firmer and with deeper travel in comparison.

Touchpad

The clickpad is of a decent size unlike the tiny one on the ZenBook Duo UX481 (12 x 7.5 cm vs. 5.5 x 7 cm). Gliding is smooth and responsive due in part to the faster 120 Hz native refresh rate of the main display. Clicking on the clickpad is firm and with a loud auditory click for satisfying feedback.

Primary Display — P3, 120 Hz, and IPS 21:10

The main IPS display may be of an atypical aspect ratio, but it carries the same characteristics as most other high-end IPS panels. The ~1000:1 contrast ratio, reasonably fast black-white response times, fast 120 Hz native refresh rate, and >95 percent P3 color coverage all make the display surprisingly good for both graphics, editing, and everything in between. Both colors and response times in particular are deeper and faster, respectively, than the panel on the ThinkBook Plus Gen 2 while maximum brightness remains about the same.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
20.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 10.8 ms rise
↘ 10 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 40 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey

In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 31 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18110 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Outdoor visibility is similar to the LG Gram 17 or XPS 17 as they all have similar maximum brightness levels. On the Lenovo, however, glare is more noticeable along the sides of the screen due to its larger-than-normal aspect ratio. You'll still want to work under shade whenever possible to maximize visibility.

Secondary Display — So Much Extra Screen Space

From a utility standpoint, the secondary screen works smoothly and perfectly for snapping different windows back and forth to the main display. It's 10:16 aspect ratio in particular works better for a wider variety of applications and programs when compared to the narrower secondary displays on the competing Asus ZenBook Duo series.

The screen also comes with unique auxiliary features not found on Asus models. For example, there are options to sync the brightness with the main display or to mirror only a specific 800 x 1280 pixel portion of the main display.

Unfortunately, the secondary display comes with similar disadvantages as some early ZenBook Duo models. Its colors, refresh rate, contrast ratio, graininess, and viewing angle glare in particular are all noticeably inferior to the main display. Image quality is more akin to a cheap 8-inch Android tablet rather than an iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab S. If 1:1 image quality reproduction between the primary and secondary displays is important for your workloads, then dual external displays will still be your best option.

We also experienced several bugs on the second screen. Firstly, its brightness would sometimes not sync with the main display. Secondly, the primary display would often be turned off when waking from sleep leaving only the second display on even if both displays were active prior to entering sleep mode. Thirdly, the screen will respond to touch even if it is disabled through Windows which can lead to many accidental inputs to the main display. Users must remember to manually press the 'S Star' key (or the Insert key) on the keyboard to toggle touch sensitivity. And lastly, many inputs go unregistered on the second screen which can become frustrating during use. Many of these features show promise, but they could certainly benefit from more development time.

Performance — Intel 12th Gen Alder Lake-H

 

Testing Conditions

We set our unit to Extreme Performance mode via Lenovo Vantage and Performance mode via Windows prior to running any of the benchmarks below. Owners should become familiar with the pre-installed Vantage software as it is the control center for updates, performance, and auxiliary functions of the laptop. The screenshots below show some of the features available on the software.

Processor

CPU performance is 20 to 25 percent slower than the average Core i7-12700H in our database. The performance deficit is large enough that even laptops with the "slower" Core i5-12500H like the Honor MagicBook 15 can match or outperform our Lenovo. Nonetheless, processor performance is still faster than the lower-power Core i7-1260P or Core i7-1165G7. The advantage is especially wide when compared to the Core i5-1130G7 that powered last year's ThinkBook Plus Gen 2 model.

Storage Devices

Our test unit ships with the same 512 GB Micron 3400 MTFDKBA512TFH SSD as found on the Dell XPS 17 9720. Though not as speedy as the Samsung PM9A1 series, the drive would exhibit no throttling issues for a consistent level of performance even when stressed.

GPU Performance — Integrated Iris Xe Only

Raw graphics performance is a few percentage points slower than the average laptop in our database with the same integrated Iris Xe 96 EUs GPU. It's too bad that there are no discrete GeForce GTX/RTX or even MX options to choose from which could have boosted graphics performance significantly. The integrated Intel solution is on the slower side when considering the large 17-inch category.

Emissions

System Noise — Loud Under Load

Fan noise when idling on desktop ranges between 26 and 28 dB(A) depending on the power profile against a silent background of 22.7 dB(A). Thus, the internal fans are never truly silent in most scenarios which is perhaps the consequence of utilizing a Core H-series CPU instead of the slower but more efficient Core U option. The fans tend to pulse up to 35 dB(A) if web browsing or word processing on Extreme Performance mode and so we recommend Balanced or "Intelligent Cooling" mode when running undemanding applications.

Running higher loads like games induces a fan noise between 39 and 43 dB(A) which is much louder than on the smaller ThinkBook Plus Gen 2.

Cooling solution consists of two asymmetric fans (60 mm + 50 mm) with two heat pipes between them

The fans are always active when plugged to an outlet even if on Power Saver mode

Temperature — Pretty Cool

Surface temperatures are cooler than expected even when running demanding loads. Hot spots are only about 33 C on the top and bottom, respectively, compared to 50 C or warmer on the LG Gram 17 under similar conditions. The larger surface area of the wide 21:10 aspect ratio has a positive effect on overall temperature development.

Stress Test

When running Prime95 to stress the CPU, clock rates and board power draw would spike to 3.6 GHz and 80 W, respectively, lasting for only a few seconds and reaching a core temperature of 98 C. Clock rates and board power draw would then swiftly fall to 3 GHz and 60 W before eventually stabilizing at 2.8 GHz and 52 W, respectively, to keep core temperatures just under 90 C. Repeating this test on the XPS 17 with the same Core i7-12700H CPU would result in similar clock rates but at a cooler core temperature of 75 C.

GPU clock rates and temperature when running Witcher 3 would stabilize at 1297 MHz and 85 C, respectively, which is a common range for thin Core H-powered multimedia laptops like the Dell Inspiron 16 Plus 7620.

Running on battery power impacts performance. A 3DMark 11 run on batteries would return Physics and Graphics scores of 16704 and 5421 points, respectively, compared to 18948 and 6524 points when on mains.

Energy Management

Power Consumption

Idling on desktop on Power Saver mode draws as little as 7 W when at the minimum brightness level and with the secondary screen off. If the secondary screen is enabled and set to its maximum brightness level, consumption will be about 2.8 W higher. Idling on desktop with both screens set to maximum brightness and on Extreme Performance mode demands just under 17 W to be as much as faster 17-inch laptops with discrete GPUs.

Running higher loads like games demands between 50 and 65 W compared to only ~40 W on most Core U- or P-series laptops with the same integrated Iris Xe 96 EUs GPU like the LG Gram 17.

Overall power consumption is about 2x higher than the previous generation ThinkBook Plus Gen 2 in most cases due to the increase in size and performance and the added utility from the secondary display.

Battery Life — Not That Long

Runtimes are average at best for a 17-inch laptop. Battery capacity is smaller than on the LG Gram 17 or Dell XPS 17 for a WLAN runtime that is several hours shorter. We're able to clock in just under 5.5 hours of real-world WLAN usage with the secondary display active compared to 9+ hours each on the aforementioned Asus and Dell.

Charging from empty to full capacity takes between 1 and 1.5 hours when Rapid Charge is enabled.

Verdict — Great For Tight Work Spaces

In review: Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 IAP. Test unit provided by Lenovo
In review: Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 IAP. Test unit provided by Lenovo

The ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 is unique in its size category and not just for its 8-inch secondary display or 21:10 form factor. More specifically, it is one of the few 17-inch laptops to ship with an Intel 12th gen Core H processor and absolutely no discrete graphics options at all. This approach has allowed for a relatively slim and light chassis design in spite of the second display and longer chassis dimensions.

A key disadvantage to the model is that it may be underpowered for some users. CPU performance is slower than many other 17-inch laptops with the same Core i7-12700H processor and the lack of a dGPU will likely turn away most power users. The latter is a shame because the primary display has the colors and features for graphics editing while the secondary display can be inherently useful for heavy multitasking. As long as your workloads aren't particularly GPU heavy, then this drawback shouldn't be too much of an issue.

The ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 optimizes productivity by giving users more screen real-estate than most other laptops in the market. You'll have to give up a bit of graphics performance along the way, however.

As for the integrated secondary display, the feature is most useful for file explorer windows, texts, command lines, and other applications where color accuracy isn't a huge concern. Its touchscreen functionality isn't as reliable as on a smartphone or tablet, however, and so we find the display easiest to use with a mouse instead.

If you have the desk space for an external secondary monitor like the Lepow C2, then the ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 becomes much less compelling. Users who are constantly on the move or don't have space for external monitors are the ones who will find this Lenovo surprisingly spacious when compared to other 17-inch models.

Price and Availability

The ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 is not yet available at major resellers like Amazon, Best Buy, or Newegg. Users can purchase directly from Lenovo starting at $1500 USD for the Core i5 option or $1600 for our Core i7 configuration.
