I still haven’t gotten used to properly orienting my hands over the keyboard when I start using it each time. The addition of an 8-inch display to the keyboard deck shifts the keyboard and touchpad over to the left, an effect that feels even more dramatic because of the width of this device. Getting past that for a moment, the ThinkBook Plus offers the familiar dual-tone design and high-quality build that we see in other ThinkBook products. And here, the news is mixed: while the primary display is a revelation, the secondary display is mostly a gimmick, and it’s one that detracts from the overall experience: it’s in the wrong place to be useful in most circumstances and, as I explain below, it has a weird habit of somehow trapping the mouse cursor and diverting the focus from the app you’re working in. But the issue before us is whether this design is practical or even advantageous in some way. And were you to take it out into the world, it would no doubt trigger stares and questions from others.
The ThinkBook Plus G3 is certainly unique.
But where previous versions put a second, e-ink display on the outside of the display lid, this one opts instead for an ultra-wide primary display and a small secondary display on the right side of the keyboard deck. Case in point, the third-generation ThinkBook Plus, which again offers a unique take on a dual-screen laptop.

While Lenovo is perhaps best known for its well-regarded ThinkPad series of products, the firm doesn’t get enough credit for its lesser-known experiments in new PC form factors and use cases.
