Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 boasts a simple yet innovative design

Looking at the overall appearance, the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 seems to retain the familiar simple design found in business laptops, with a prominent ThinkBook logo and a slender aluminum body, delivering a sense of solidity 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, despite its apparent size, the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 is still considered an ultrabook with a thickness of only 17.9 mm and weighing 2.0 kg. Hence, this laptop may not be friendly with certain types of backpacks, so I think users will need specialized backpacks to carry it everywhere for work.

The standout feature of Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 is perhaps its integrated secondary screen right next to the keyboard. Unlike its predecessors with only a small secondary screen on the rear side displaying essential information, this screen offers much more support with necessary features for office work.

Speaking of the keyboard, Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 is equipped with a chiclet keyboard with a simple layout, logically designed keys with just the right key travel to provide a comfortable typing experience for users. Accompanying that is a fairly large touchpad covered with glass to prevent wear and tear, making the touch experience smooth and easy to use.

Moreover, despite its slim design, Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 still integrates all the 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 3.5 mm headphone jack, and an SD card reader. If you're a user who often uses multiple connectivity ports, this laptop can fully meet your needs, 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 features a wide 17-inch screen with a sharp resolution of 3,072 x 1,440 pixels. One particularly impressive aspect of this machine's screen is that Lenovo has equipped it with a refresh rate of up to 120 Hz, something I've never seen in business laptops before. I'm confident that the working experience on this machine will be extremely smooth.

There's something that I believe graphic design professionals will find fascinating about the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 I mentioned earlier, and that is the inclusion of a secondary screen next to the keyboard. It's an 8-inch LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 800 x 1,280 px, supporting the included stylus, making it look like you've added a tablet to the mix, isn't it?

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

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

Before diving into the hardware configuration details, let me summarize a few technical specifications of the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 13 for your easy reference:

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

• Battery: 70 Wh.

Providing processing power for the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 is the 12th generation Core chip from Intel, along with 8 GB of RAM belonging to the latest LPDDR5 generation, and with a 512 GB hard drive, the machine can serve most of your work tasks as well as basic entertainment needs and comfortably store data, 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 running out of storage space.

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

Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 is powered by a 70 Wh battery, capable of delivering 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 battery issues won't concern you anymore.

Conclusion

Overall, the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 laptop is well worth its price of $1,399 (approximately 31.8 million VND) with its elegant, simple yet refreshing design, along with its sharp display and powerful processing performance of the 12th generation Core processor ensuring long-term usage needs.
