Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen3, i5-12500H

Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 Review
Source: Ubergizmo English English
The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 features an excellent chassis design and dual-display setup, and that’s its main strength and the main reason people want to get one. Looking at Google Search data, it is evident that people are not even comparing it with any other 15.6” competitor because there’s nothing like it. The question is: is it fast enough for your job, and is the comfort worth it? Hopefully, we’ve given you enough performance data, and most productivity users will likely be satisfied by the performance level. This laptop will improve your daily life if you are a mobile worker who tends to work at a desk without easy access to an external monitor. The primary display alone would be comparable to having two 13.3” displays side by side, and the extra 8” monitor can brighten your day if you constantly have to be on Slack or want a virtual numeric pad. If I had to do extended travel with a single computer, that’s the one I would go for. The 4.41 Lbs weight makes it light enough that weight is not an issue, and the productivity boost is too good to pass. Finally, the certified MIL-STD durability and the spill-resistant keyboard increase survivability during travel.
