Lenovo ThinkBook

Plus Gen 2

PROS

Innovative secondary E

Ink screen mounted on

back of display lid. Gray

chassis is thin,

lightweight, and stylish.

High-resolution main

screen.

CONS

Rather pricey.

Inadequate port

selection.

BOTTOM LINE

Adding a 12-inch E Ink

screen to the back of an

above-average business

laptop like the Lenovo

ThinkBook Plus Gen 2 is

a cool idea, if not a

slam-dunk practical

one.
