At CES 2023, Lenovo announced some new ThinkBook laptops including the new ThinkBook Plus Twist and ThinkBook 16p Gen 4.
ThinkBook Plus Twist
As the name implies, the ThinkBook Plus Twist has a twistable display. This consists of a 13.3-inch 2.8K OLED touch display and a 12-inch front-lit colour e-ink display on the back.
Unlike prior Lenovo laptops with an e-ink display, the ThinkBook Plus Twist’s colour e-ink display can be used as a proper secondary display for the computer.
You’ll be able to write on documents, read books and more on the e-ink screen. There’s full pen support on the OLED and e-ink displays.
The included pen should offer up to 18 months of battery life.
Powering the laptop is the 13th Gen Intel chips with Intel graphics, up to 16GB of RAM, and up to a 1TB SSD.
The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Twist is launching in June 2023, starting at $1,649 USD.
Canadian pricing and availability haven’t been announced.

The Lenovo Magic Bay accessories will be available exclusively for the ThinkBook 16p Gen 4.
For the display, the ThinkBook 16p Gen 4 can be configured with a 2.5K display at 60Hz or a 3.2K display at 120Hz. Both offer Dolby Vision support and are 16 inches in size.
