The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 Hybrid laptop houses two computers, so you can separate them and run them both at the same time. They also each have their own rechargeable battery. Tablet performs as a full-feature Android tablet on its own when it’s detached, but you can also continue to use the Windows laptop base; just connect it to an external monitor. The laptop base runs Windows 11 and has an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The tablet runs Android 13 on a Snapdragon 8+ gen 1 SoC, along with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The price is expected to be $1999.99 and it should be available around May/June of this year.

Lenovo also showed a concept version of an animated color E Ink outer lid for laptops. It certainly would get attention at a meeting or a conference, but ‘Concept’ means ‘we now know we can do it, but will customers want it enough to buy it?’ Reaction to an E-ink laptop cover at CES may determine the answer to question.
