Lenovo's ThinkBook Plus Gen 4 Features a Color E Ink Display and Unique Hinge Design, But Falls Short on Practicality

Lenovo's ThinkBook Plus Gen 4 introduces a unique design with a color E Ink display on its lid and a 180° swivel hinge, offering laptop, tablet, e-paper, and typewriting modes. Key features include: * A color E Ink display with a low 12Hz refresh rate and washed-out colors (0.4% DCI-P3). * A 13.3-inch touchscreen panel covering 100% of the DCI-P3 gamut with an average Delta E of 0.21, reaching 360cd/m in SDR and 480cd/m in HDR. * Performance aligned with Core i7-1355U, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD. * Weight of 1.4kg and battery life of 6 hours 50 minutes in web-surfing tests. Despite its innovative features, the device is considered impractical due to the E Ink display's limitations and high price of $3,039.
