 Lenovo’s ThinkBook Plus Modernizes Multitasking with a new Laptop Category

e-Ink Cover Display Enhances Productivity with Essential Notifications and Quick Notetaking

January 6, 2020 – Today, Lenovo unveiled the latest ThinkBook designed for the next generation workforce.
ThinkBook Plus features an innovative e-Ink cover display that helps users be more productive when multitasking by
improving focus, collaboration and creativity. Featuring a 13.3-inch FHD main display and a 10.8-inch e-ink display on
the cover, on which users can create illustrations and diagrams with the integrated Lenovo Precision Pen and
receiving essential notifications when the lid is closed allows them to stay focused during meetings.

Built for the new generation workforce

Nearly 60% of today’s workforce are millennials and Gen Z, and these digital native generations frequently multitask
across multiple devices. However, established research1 suggests that we are often inefficient at multitasking, with the
average worker losing 2.1 hours per day due to time taken to re-focus on tasks. Lenovo suggests an efficient way of
working is to focus on similar tasks at any given time.

Based on our own research, customer insight and on multitasking work practices, we designed ThinkBook Plus. A
new kind of laptop that provides innovative features and functions to help users maximize their multitasking efficiency:

• Collaborate better by staying focused during meetings by receiving only essential notifications on the cover
display such as calendar appointments, instant messages or important emails. Take notes instantly with the
integrated Precision Pen, which can be synced with Microsoft OneNote. Control VoIP calls quickly with Skype
hotkeys and experience better audio clarity with Harman speakers and Skype-certified microphones. With
Amazon® Alexa® for PC integrated onboard you can quickly add items to your to-do list or check facts during
meetings with simple verbal commands – no need to open your laptop.
• Create and convert real time ideation into diagrams and notes by sketching on the cover screen with the
Precision Pen. You can also personalize your laptop with a unique screensaver on the laptop cover. Enjoy the
laptop experience with a narrow bezel FHD IPS display that supports Dolby Vision. Feel secure with a
fingerprint reader conveniently integrated into the power button, a camera shutter ensures you are seen only
when you want to be seen and dTPM 2.0 for enhanced hardware security.
• Review documents quickly without distractions on the cover display that supports annotations. Open the
laptop for more complex revisions leveraging the power of 10th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, Windows 10,
standard solid-state storage (SSD) and available Intel® Optane™ memory.
• Respond quickly thanks to Modern Standby which ensures emails and updates are received, even when the
lid is closed. Smart Power On simplifies Windows Hello authentication with the fingerprint integrated into the
power button.

Mouse. Offering distraction-free silent buttons, adjustable DPI controls and a blue optical sensor that allows you to
