One of the highlights of Lenovo‘s lineup of products on display during CES 2022 is the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 laptop. The laptop which is in its third iteration has an 8-inch secondary display to complement its main 17-inch screen. The ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 will be available from May 2022 at a starting price of $1,399.

Lenovo moved the second panel down to the keyboard deck, transforming it to a full-color LCD. The laptop’s main screen is a 17.3 inch IPS display with 3K resolution. The 8-inch 800 x 1,280 LCD features an integrated digitizer layer and supports a stylus. The ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 runs on Windows 11 with several orientations and options available.

The transitions between the two displays could be a potential drag for the ThinkBook Plus Gen 3. There could be bugs in the ecosystem that significantly slowed down the secondary screen. The ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 has the 12th-generation Intel Core processor with 32GB of RAM and a 69 Whr battery.

Some of the other products showcased by Lenovo include the ThinkBook and ThinkCentre family of business-focused laptops. The ThinkBook 13x Gen 2 can work with a “Wireless Multi-Device Charging Mat” to recharge Qi-compatible devices while also powering the laptop itself. The ThinkCentre Neo lineup consists of three desktop systems for small and medium businesses.

Lenovo is on a roll currently, with multiple tablet and laptop offerings being launched within the past couple of months and several more on the way. One of these is the 17-inch Lenovo ThinkBook Plus with one of the most rad laptop designs we have seen this year – the thing actually packs a tablet inside for boosted productivity.

Courtesy of Evleaks on Twitter, we now have multiple high-definition renders of the notebook from almost every angle, effectively leaving little to the imagination. The images show the device running Windows 11 and with a secondary display on the right of the keyboard that almost looks like a tablet embedded into the body.

A custom interface seems to have been designed by Lenovo for the secondary display, which in the renders almost looks like a better version of the Start menu. This alt-Start menu sits atop an array of shortcuts that should quickly direct you to various productivity apps and features.

But that’s not all the secondary screen is capable of, as renders also show that it can display important bits of apps for quick access. The laptop even comes with a stylus, something which the secondary screen obviously supports.

Additionally, the 17-inch Lenovo ThinkBook Plus seems to be equipped with two USB-C, two USB-A, one HDMI, a 3.5mm headphone jack interface, and Harman Kardon speakers.

As for launch, Lenovo is expected is to unveil some new laptop products at CES 2022 that’s set to kickstart on January 5th, and we may see the ThinkBook Plus in the event as well.

Many manufacturers are trying to experiment with new designs or elements for laptops to make them more productive. Such devices are not for everyone but they are targeted to a niche audience. Now, it appears that Lenovo is working on a new design for a laptop.

The latest leak coming from Evan Blass shows an image of the upcoming 17-inch Lenovo ThinkBook Plus laptop with a secondary screen. The additional screen is located on the right side of the keyboard and has a size of a tablet.

The secondary screen on the laptop can be used to draw or write something. The leaked image also shows a stylus, indicating that the screen is indeed for creative purposes. Along with the additional display panel, the device will also have a full-size keyboard and a large trackpad, and an extra-wide 17-inch main display.

The laptop has a design similar to the ASUS ZenBook Pro Duo that features a secondary 14-inch 32:9 IPS touchscreen display on top of the keyboard which is quite versatile and can be used as a second monitor for games, movies, and more. It can also be split into two smaller 16:9 aspect ratio displays.

Currently, there’s no information available about this new product and Evan Blass has only shared the image. However, we expect to know more about this laptop in the coming weeks if it is set to launch soon. Given the previous track record, we expect the device to get launched at the upcoming CES 2022.

Earlier this year, in January, Lenovo had announced ThinkBook Plus Gen 2 at CES, featuring a 12-inch E-Ink display panel on the lid. This was a successor to the ThinkBook Plus announced at CES 2020 with a similar design.
