- CES 2022 is currently taking place in Las Vegas.
- Manufacturers all over the world present new products there.
- Lenovo also surprised fans with a new innovation.
Every year at CES, we can look forward to many new products and innovations in the field of entertainment electronics. The fair is the perfect opportunity for manufacturers to present their products and advertise them. Although many of the ideas and devices presented are more ideas for the future, a large number will actually go on sale.
Of course, the manufacturer Lenovo also tries to promote its own products and make them attractive to visitors. The Chinese group is currently the leading manufacturer of PCs and notebooks around the world and of course would like to keep this position. That is why innovative innovations are needed that extend the lead over the competition.
In addition to many other products, a new generation of the ThinkBook Plus was also presented: The third generation ThinkBook Plus. The 17.3 inch notebook is supposed to change the use of mobile computers. As with the Asus ZenBook Duo, there is an integrated second display. However, Lenovo does not install it above, but next to the keyboard. This is intended to increase productivity and is intended, for example, for taking notes or as a surface for drawing.

In addition, shortcuts can be used on the smaller screen and useful applications such as the calendar or calculator can be opened. One of the most useful functions is probably the mirroring of the smartphone. So you can access your mobile phone directly with your PC.
The ThinkBook Gen. 3 can also convince in other areas. In terms of performance, the model is equipped with a 12th generation Intel processor, which is supported by up to 32 gigabytes of LPDDR5 memory. The graphics are handled by the Intel Iris XE graphics card, which delivers enormous speed and attention to detail. The maximum resolution of the main display is 3,072 x 1,440 pixels and a refresh rate of 120 Hertz. The second screen has a size of 8 inches with a resolution of 800 x 1,280 pixels.
The SSD storage space can be up to one terabyte in size, although this can also be expanded with external storage. According to the manufacturer, the battery life is just under 7 hours and it is charged via a 100 watt adapter. As a nice addition, the device is equipped with two Harman / Kardon Dolby Atmos speakers, which ensure a decent sound.
In addition, the ThinkBook is equipped with an FHD camera for video conferences and the like. This has a privacy shutter to avoid unwanted recordings with the camera. In addition to the classic password, you can also unlock the device with the help of a fingerprint reader.

On paper, this data sounds pretty promising. How exactly the notebook will do in the end remains to be seen. The same applies to the second display, which is a nice idea, but the real application possibilities in everyday life and at work have yet to be established. The model will appear in different versions, whereby the cheapest version will probably cost a little over 1,000 euros.
