Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Twist

Lenovo continues to reinvent its popular ThinkBook laptop series. At CES 2023, the brand unveiled its newest ThinkBook Plus line, putting a twist — quite literally — on the latest models.

Headlining the series is the ThinkBook Plus Twist, which will have a twistable dual rotating display that features an OLED panel on one side and an e-Ink screen on the other.

The ThinkBook Plus will be powered by the latest 13th Gen Intel Core processors and up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX next generation graphics to ensure the highest level of performance.

Its narrow-bezel 13.3-inch 2.8K OLED display with touch glass and twist hinge comes with a front-lit 12-inch e-Ink display on the opposite back with an improved 120Hz refresh rate and touch glass.

Both screens have full-size pen support and offer users endless possibilities with their several modes.

The typewriter and e-paper table modes allow them to easily draft, edit, and proofread documents using either the keyboard or a pen. Switch to the OLED tablet mode and you may also interact using the pen on its 2.8K display.

The ThinkBook Plus Twist is expected to release in June 2023, starting at US$ 1,649.

HP CES 2023

At CES 2023, HP has revealed its newest gaming devices: the OMEN 17 laptop and the OMEN 40L and OMEN 25L desktops.

Both these gaming powerhouses are powered by up to 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900K series processors. They also have NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics for 4K visuals.

All new OMEN devices also utilize HP’s OMEN Tempest Cooling Technology. Meanwhile, the OMEN 17 will be the first to feature optical mechanical keys. These are 25 times faster than traditional laptop keyboards.

Meanwhile, the visual experience is about to be taken to new heights further, with HP’s new E-series G5 monitors which range from the 21.5 to 44.5-inch sizes and are all capable of displaying 4K seamlessly.

The HP E45c G5, in particular, is the world’s first QHD dual curved monitor which showcases a super ultrawide Virtual Dual Display feature.

The M24h and M27h FHD monitors also provide upgraded experiences while coming with improved ergonomics to tailor fit users’ postures and viewing angles.

Poly Voyager Free 60 series

When it comes to accessories, headlining the list is the Poly Voyager Free 60 series wireless earbuds.

It supports up to 24 hours of total playtime on a full charge. Everything is made a breeze too through the Poly Lens mobile app for customizing settings.

The HP 710 rechargeable silent mouse also allows users to work seamlessly. Its compact design features six programmable buttons for 20 custom shortcuts.

Hybrid-fit laptops: Dragonfly, Elite series

Lastly, HP has unveiled the new Dragonfly G4, EliteBook 1040 G10, and Elite x360 1040 G10. These productivity laptops shall benefit users who work in remote setups, physical office spaces, or a combination of both.

All powered by the latest gen processors in the market, here are some of the distinct new features:

  • Multi-Camera Experience: The laptops support dual video streams and camera switching. With it,  users can easily show both themselves and an object or keyboard at the same time, picture-in-picture or side-by-side.
  • Auto Camera Select: Since there are two cameras on each device, this feature uses intelligent face tracking to recognize which camera a user is facing for uninterrupted virtual eye contact.
  • HP Be Right Back: This will enable users to change their video feed to a still feature when taking a break, without having to steal the attention from meetings
  • Intelligent Hibernate, Smart Sense: As users begin to work on their PCs regularly, these study their patterns to optimize performance and even predict what’s next.
