Tester av Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen4 IRU
Tänk om du kunde ha både en konvertibel bärbar dator och en eReader i ett? ThinkBook Plus Twist är en dröm som går i uppfyllelse för bokslukare, så länge du kan acceptera några förbehåll.

We really wanted to like the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus. We have some big E-ink fans on our tiny tech team who believe there is a big enough (niche) market for a 2-in-1 laptop like this one. But the E-ink notetaking tablets already out there set the bar higher than this laptop could reach. Even Lenovo’s own Smart Paper, which is not sold in the US, is a better E-ink device for notetaking and reading because it keeps things simple with a streamlined operating system built specifically for a few simple tasks. Comparatively, the ReMarkable 2 provides the closest likeness we’ve experienced to writing with a real pencil or pen on real paper; the E-ink side of the ThinkBook Plus feels a little less slippery than taking notes on its OLED side, but we couldn’t feel the texture of the E-ink display’s surface while writing with a Lenovo stylus. The handwriting latency isn’t synced with the actual speed of writing, either, which defeats the whole point of handwriting on any digital device.

Unless you're in desperate need of a 2-in-1 laptop that features both an OLED display and a color e-ink screen, I can't recommend the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 4. The $3,000+ price point is simply too high to justify the myriad of downsides in several important aspects of the laptop. You're better off sacrificing the unsavory e-ink panel and saving some serious dough by opting for another 2-in-1 like the Microsoft Surface Pro 9 or Lenovo's own Yoga 9i. While the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 4 2-in-1 laptop has some redeeming qualities, it ultimately falls short in delivering features to match the $3,000 price point. Enjoy the main OLED display; avoid the e-ink panel at all costs.

We really wanted to like the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 4. The mix of OLED and E Ink, pen input, and pivoting 2-in-1 design sounds like a step forward for laptop productivity. But the practice is less captivating than the concept—even awkward and inconvenient. The E Ink screen lurches wildly between eye-friendly reading and laggy ghosting, making it nigh unusable for many tasks, and the basic laptop design and performance are satisfying but trail some rivals in both performance and battery life. Lenovo sells a high-quality OLED-based convertible in the Yoga 9i Gen 8, which gives you the same pen-friendly drawing and note-taking capability without the fancy E Ink lid. It even manages to squeeze another USB-C port and a USB-A connector into its slim chassis. If you want a top-tier 2-in-1 laptop, get the Yoga. If you want a note-friendly E Ink display, get an Amazon Kindle Scribe. Heck, get both, and you'll probably be happier than you would be with the Plus.

I really wanted to like the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 4. After all, it’s not every day I come across a 2-in-1 with a built-in color E Ink display and twistable hinge. As the best smartphones have proven, having a device that serves multiple functions is advantageous. But while the idea behind this ThinkBook Plus sounds great on paper, the reality doesn’t live up to the promise — especially for a device that costs $3,000. If you’re looking for alternatives, you can’t go wrong with either the $1,049 Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 or $1,899 Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360. The latter isn’t exactly cheap, but it’s still more affordable than the ThinkBook Plus. If you need an e-reader, you can even purchase a Kindle Paperwhite ($139) or a Kindle Scribe ($339) with the money you save, and still come out having spent less than you would have on a new ThinkBook Plus Gen 4. Though I can’t recommend this remarkable 2-in-1 to most people, it’s still an intriguing product that could pave the way for similar (and less expensive) devices in the future.

The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus G4 is great in concept, but falters in execution. You’d think that the design would be the problem, but it’s not — it’s the performance. And for $3K, I expect both panels to feel silky smooth when I use them. If you can move to a more normal 2-in-1 laptop, we highly recommend the Dell Inspiron 16 2-in-1 (7620), which offers double the battery life at half the price. Overall, the ThinkBook Plus G4 is a solid laptop, but between its price and sluggish e-ink display, it’s hard to recommend to people who want to draw professionally on e-ink.

If you're a creative professional, I highly recommend the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 4. It's a delight to use, even as someone who isn't a professional artist. I thoroughly enjoyed writing on the e-ink side; It saved me from dealing with eye strain, which can be a killer after a long day of typing. The notebook is available in two separate models, and prices differ depending on which hardware you choose. My review unit had a 13th Gen Intel i7-1355U processor, an Intel Iris Xe GPU, 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 512GB of storage, totaling up to a $3,040 price tag. Yes, these are expensive laptops, and I wouldn't fault you for opting for a less expensive but just as capable laptop. But the ThinkBook Plus Gen 4 is one of the most refreshing devices money can buy right now, and it's worth every penny.

Intel Iris Xe G7 96EUs:
Integrerat grafikkort i Intel Tiger Lake G4 SoCs som bygger på den nya Gen. 12-arkitekturen med 96 EUs (Execution Units / Shader Cluster). Klockfrekvensen beror på processormodellen. Tiger Lake-kretsarna tillverkas i den moderna 10nm+-processen hos Intel.
Det här är mindre avancerade grafikkort för användare som ändå vill kunna spela spel. Nya spel bör vara spelbara, men ofta bara med låga detaljinställningar och låg upplösning. Eftersom moderna grafikkort i den här klassen har låg strömförbrukning kan även batteritiden vara bra.
» Mer information finns i vår jämförelse av mobila grafikkort och motsvarande benchmarklista.
i7-1355U: Alder Lake-baserad mobil CPU med 2 prestandakärnor och 8 effektiva kärnor. Prestandakärnorna erbjuder hyper threading, vilket leder till 12 trådar som kan bearbetas. CPU:n klockar från 1,2 till 5 GHz. TDP är specificerad till 15 watt.» Mer information finns i vår jämförelse av mobila processorer
13.30": Den här skärmstorleken används i klasserna små bärbara datorer och hybrider, men är i övre delen av storleksskalan. De största enheterna i subnotebook-kategorin använder storleken.
Större skärmar möjliggör högre upplösning så att detaljer som bokstäver blir större och jämnare. Å andra sidan är strömförbrukningen lägre med mindre skärmar och enheterna är överlag mindre, lättare och billigare. » För att ta reda på mer om skärmupplösning, läs vår DPI-lista.
1.378 kg: Bara mycket stora surfplattor väger så här mycket, men bland ultrabooks och mindre bärbara datorer är viktklassen vanlig.
67.48%: Det här betyget är dåligt. De flesta bärbara datorer får högre betyg i genomsnitt. Ett köp är inte att rekommendera.
