Lenovo’s rumored 17-inch ThinkBook Plus has a second screen for drawing
Lenovo’s next ThinkBook Plus might be more practical, at least if you’e a budding artist. Well-known leak purveyor Evan Blass has shared what he said is an image of a 17-inch ThinkBook Plus model. Unlike the current 13.3-inch system, though, you wouldn’t have to flip your machine around to use an e-paper display on the back. Instead, you’d have a pen-capable color display next to the keyboard you could use to draw or take handwritten notes.
Blass didn’t share other details, but the 17-inch ThinkBook Plus would seemingly have an extra-wide main display and fit in a full keyboard along with a large trackpad. We’d expect reasonably speedy internals to help drive the second display, much like the vaguely comparable ASUS ZenBook Duo.
It’s not certain when this extra-large ThinkBook Plus would ship. Lenovo has historically reserved some of its largest laptop introductions for CES in January, but that doesn’t preclude the company from a last-minute launch for the holidays. Either way, the image suggests Lenovo hasn’t given up on the Plus concept — if anything, it’s exploring new concepts that might prove appealing for creatives and others who shied away in the past.
