The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 is a machine that will make you do a double take. It's the first laptop ever with a 17.3-inch ultra-wide display, which makes it ideal for running two or three apps side by side. But the real headline is a secondary 8-inch color screen right next to the keyboard that can pull off all sorts of tricks.

Yup, the ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 is easily the most innovative laptop at CES 2022. It's much more practical than the secondary E-Ink display on the ThinkBook Plus Gen 2, but what can you do with this new laptop's second screen?

I spent some hands-on time with an early version of the ThnkBook Plus Gen 3, which is coming in May for $1,399, and it could be a game changer for multitaskers. Here’s what I think so far of this very unique system, which could have what it takes to make our best laptop list.

The ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 will be released in May and start at $1,399. That's fairly affordable given the ultra-wide display and secondary display. Other specs include a 12th-gen Intel Core H-Series CPU, up to 32GB of RAM and up to 2TB of storage. There's also an integrated digital pen.
