Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 features a simple yet innovative design

Looking at the overall appearance, the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 seems to retain the familiar simple design often seen in business laptops, with the prominent ThinkBook logo and a slender aluminum body, providing a solid feel and exuding the delicate beauty of the machine with stylish curves accentuating the top edge of the screen.

Measuring 410 mm in length and 228.7 mm in width, although it may seem large, Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 is still considered an ultrabook with a thickness of only 17.9 mm and weighing 2.0 kg. Therefore, this laptop may not be compatible with some types of backpacks, so I think we will need to use specialized backpacks to carry it everywhere for work.

The innovative feature of Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 is perhaps the secondary screen integrated right next to the keyboard of the machine. Unlike its predecessors with only a small secondary screen on the back that displays some necessary information, this screen also provides a lot of support for you with essential features for office work.

Speaking of the keyboard, Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 is equipped with a chiclet keyboard with a simple layout, well-designed keys, and a comfortable keystroke distance, providing users with a comfortable typing experience. Accompanying this is a rather large touchpad covered with glass to prevent wear and tear, as well as making the touch feel smooth and easy to operate.

Furthermore, despite its slim design, Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 still integrates all necessary connectivity ports for users, including a USB-A 3.2 port, a second-generation USB-C 3.2 port, a Thunderbolt 4 USB-C port supporting display output as well as charging, an HDMI 2.0a port, a 2-in-1 3.5mm headphone jack, and an SD card reader slot. If you are a user who often uses multiple connectivity ports, this laptop can meet your needs comprehensively, or if you want to use it in the most comfortable way, you can also rely on the support of dedicated USB hubs.

The screen of Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 delivers sharpness along with the convenience of the secondary screen

When it comes to a laptop, we cannot overlook an important factor: the screen. The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 is equipped with a 17-inch widescreen display with a sharp resolution of 3,072 x 1,440 pixels. The particular aspect that impressed me on this machine's screen is Lenovo's inclusion of a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, something I haven't seen in business laptop models. I'm confident that the working experience on this machine will be very smooth.

There's something that I believe graphic design professionals will be thrilled about on the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 that I mentioned earlier, and that's the inclusion of a secondary screen next to the keyboard. It's an 8-inch touchscreen LCD with a resolution of 800 x 1,280 pixels, supporting the included stylus pen, resembling an additional attached tablet, isn't it?

According to Lenovo, this secondary screen can bring you many conveniences in your work such as adjusting tools, accessing images, sketching, editing documents from the main screen, or using it as a regular extended display. Additionally, you can also project your phone through the Windows Phone app to receive mobile notifications, access photos, and files directly on this secondary screen conveniently.

Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 delivers powerful processing performance with 12th generation Intel Core processors

Before diving into the hardware specifications, let me summarize a few technical specs of the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 for your easy reference:

• Main Display: 17-inch size, operates on IPS panel, 3,072 x 1,440 pixel resolution.
• Secondary Display: 8-inch size, 800 x 1,280 pixel resolution, supports multi-touch.

Providing processing power for the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 is the 12th generation Intel Core chip, alongside the support of 8 GB of the latest LPDDR5 RAM, along with a 512 GB SSD storage capacity, the machine can serve most of your work tasks as well as basic entertainment needs and comfortable data storage, something that creative professionals surely care about, right? If you work with many large files, I recommend upgrading the internal memory to 2 TB and working comfortably without worrying about insufficient storage capacity.

Accompanying the powerful processing capability of the 12th generation Core processor is the Intel Iris Xe Graphics core, allowing you to perform heavy tasks such as video rendering with Premiere Pro or play some outstanding games on the market at a reasonable setting without being bothered by lag issues.

Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 is powered by a 70 Wh battery, capable of providing users with 11 hours of continuous usage when fully charged. This laptop also comes with a 100 W fast charger, so even if the battery runs low, as long as you have a power source nearby, I'm sure the battery issue won't be a concern anymore.

Summary

Overall, the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 laptop is a model that truly justifies its $1,399 price tag (approximately 31.8 million VND) with its sleek, simple yet fresh design, along with the sharp display, and powerful processing performance of the 12th generation Core processor ensuring long-term usage needs.
