Lenovo has presented the ThinkBook Plus Twist, a device that the company claims is 'aimed at on-the-move professionals'. With that being said, the ThinkBook Plus Twist lacks 5G or LTE modems. Instead, the device makes do with Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6E connectivity, plus two Thunderbolt 4 ports. Still, the device could prove more versatile than many other convertible laptops thanks to its secondary display.
Surprisingly, Lenovo has opted for an E-Ink display, which supports numerous colours and refreshes at 10 Hz. While the refresh rate is not as low as those offered by many E-Readers, it should consume less power than the 13.3-inch OLED main display. According to Lenovo, the E-Ink display measures 12-inches across, supports touch input, is front lit and is protected by a matte finish that replicates the feel of writing on paper. Meanwhile, the main display operates at 2.8K, 60 Hz, 400 nits and covers 100% of the sRGB colour space.
