At CES 2022, Lenovo released a new ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 notebook with an 8-inch secondary screen and a 17.3-inch ultra-wide 21:10 main display. ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 is equipped with 12th generation Intel Core H series processors, up to 32GB LPDDR5 memory and up to 2TB solid-state storage.
According to the official introduction, the 8-inch touch LCD display supports a variety of new multitasking solutions, some of which are listed below:
- App sub-tools can be displayed on the small screen to free up space on the main screen.
- Add a chat window or notepad function to the small screen, and you can take notes during the online meeting.
- It can be used as a drawing board to edit or refine images, and the integrated digital pen with ColorKing+ plug-in can achieve faster and more accurate color matching. Use the pen to capture the color from the screen, and immediately find the closest Pantone color based on the substrate.
- The “Waterfall” function is very useful during document editing. The page can be expanded from the main display to the small screen.
- “Magic Launcher” can place frequently used App icons on the small screen for quick access.
- The calculator function makes spreadsheets or financial apps easier to use. For example, you can configure group startup to automatically open the calculator when you start the spreadsheet.
- The phone screen can be projected into a small screen, improving multitasking and cross-device synergy.
