Type in dim, low color gamut, 12 fps glory on the new Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Twist! This laptop is a continuation of Lenovo’s prior ThinkBook Plus devices, which had E Ink screens on their lids so that you could keep a document up even with your laptop closed. Now, this new device lets you swivel that E Ink screen to the front, so you can have a fully functional E Ink Windows computer. Don’t worry—the other side of the display has an OLED panel. An added benefit to this setup is that you can use either the E Ink or OLED panel as a display for a tablet mode by simply closing the laptop’s lid. – Michelle Ehrhardt
