Lenovo reveals ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 with a unique 8-inch secondary screen for multitasking

At CES 2022, Lenovo today announced the new ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 with an innovative 8-inch secondary screen and a 17.3-inch ultra-wide 21:10 aspect ratio primary display. ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 is powered by 12^th Gen Intel Core H-Series processors, up to 32GB LPDDR5 and up to 2TB Solid State storage. The 8-inch second touch-enabled LCD display enables several new multitasking scenarios, some of them are listed below.

• Application sub tools can be shown on second display freeing up main screen for creation
• More engaging collaboration with full width conferencing adding a chat window on the second display, or a notepad function to take notes during online meetings
• Can be used as a drawing board to edit or refine images; the integrated digital pen with ColorKing+ plug-in by Ufro enables faster, more accurate color matching. Capture color from virtually any surface with the pen and instantly find the closest PANTONE Color based on substrate
• A “waterfall” capability is very useful during document editing as source pages can extend from the main to the second display
• A “Magic Launcher” can place frequently used application icons on the second display for quick access
• The calculator function makes navigating spreadsheets or financial applications a breeze, group launch can even be configured to automatically open the calculator when launching a spreadsheet, for example.
• Smartphone mirroring onto the second display improves multitasking and synergy across devices
