Given its stewardship of the ThinkBook brand and its origins at famously-stodgy IBM, one could assume that Lenovo is a prosaic company, but that’s never been the case. At CES this year, Lenovo’s debuting a hoard of hardware that really serves to set the record straight—from the world’s first dual-screen OLED laptop, to the new ThinkBook Plus with a rotating screen, and even the fascinating Project Chronos wireless motion capture.We’ll start right from the top with the Yoga Book 9i. This is basically a 13.3-inch laptop, except that both halves are screens. What gorgeous screens they are, too, in terms of specs: 2880×1800 OLEDs that can reproduce 100% of the DCI-P3 color space and shine at up to 400 nits. As you’d expect, you can use the Yoga Book 9i in a few different ways: like the two halves were dual monitors, like a regular laptop, or like any other 360º hinge convertible The hardware inside the Yoga Book 9i isn’t going to blow away your usual HotHardware reader, but it’s surprisingly capable considering the form factor. You get a 13th-Gen Core processor and its associated Iris Xe graphics, hooked up to 16GB of LPDDR5X memory, and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD. There’s a built in FHD IR+RGB webcam, and the battery is a whopping 80WHr. External connectivity is provided by a trio of Thunderbolt 4 ports.Every CES for the last few years Lenovo has brought along a fascinating new ThinkBook model in the ThinkBook Plus line. This year is no exception; the fourth-gen ThinkBook Plus Twist has two displays, but you wouldn’t know it at a glance. On the front of the top panel is a 13.3-inch OLED just like the Yoga Book 9i’s above, but on the back is a 12-inch e-Ink display with a 12Hz refresh rate. Both screens support touch input using fingers or pens.As you’ve probably guessed from the name, the ThinkBook Plus Twist can rotate its display so that either side is available.
