Technology company Lenovo further strengthens its leadership in personal computer (PC) shipments (as per the data of International Data Corp.) with the introduction of the latest ThinkBook series. The new ThinkBook Plus Gen 2 i, ThinkBook 13x i, ThinkBook 14p Gen 2 and ThinkBook 16p Gen 2 are designed for the increasing number of remote workers.

Lenov said its ThinkBook Plus Gen 2 “has been enhanced in almost every area.” The e-Ink display has increased from a 48% screen-to-body (STB) ratio to 68% offering a larger 12-inch usable area and the resolution of that top cover display has been increased to match the 2560×1600 resolution of the main display.

The new thinner (13.9 mm) and lighter (1.3 kg) model transitions to new 16:10 low blue light displays, which also sees the STB ratio increase from 78% to nearly 90% for a virtually edge-to-edge screen experience. Connectivity includes Intel Thunderbolt 4 ports, Wi-Fi 61, and a new optional ThinkBook Charging Mat, powered by Energysquare’s Power by Contact technology, which can wirelessly recharge the larger battery that provides up to 15 hours of charge2, or up to 24 hours2 when using the e-Ink display only.

ThinkBook Plus Gen 2 i will be available from Q1 2021, starting at $1,549.
