Processor and Performance
The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 (Intel) is powered by 12th Gen Intel Core processors, including Core i5-12500H (12C/16T, 2.5–4.5 GHz, 18MB cache) or i7-12700H (14C/20T, 2.3–4.7 GHz, 24MB cache). It delivers robust performance for multitasking and creative work (Cinebench R23 Multi: ~11000–13000 for i7-12700H), ideal for business professionals, designers, and content creators. Users praise its power for productivity but note fan noise (~40–45 dB) under heavy loads. Perfect for those needing a versatile, high-performance laptop with a unique dual-screen setup.
Graphics and Display
The ThinkBook Plus Gen 3 features a dual-display setup: a 17.3" 3K (3072x1440, 400 nits, IPS, 99% DCI-P3, 120Hz, Eyesafe, touch) primary screen and an 8" HD (800x1280, 350 nits, IPS, 60% NTSC, 60Hz, touch) secondary screen next to the keyboard. Integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics support light creative tasks (~30–50 FPS in *Valorant* Medium). Users love the innovative secondary display for note-taking and multitasking but note the 8" screen’s limited resolution. Includes a digital pen. Ideal for productivity and creative workflows.
Design and Connectivity
Weighing ~2 kg (4.4 lbs) with an aluminum chassis, it’s MIL-STD-810H tested. Ports include 2x Thunderbolt 4, 1x USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, HDMI 2.0, and 3.5mm audio. Wi-Fi 6E (Intel AX211, ~2400 Mbps) and Bluetooth 5.2 ensure fast connectivity. The 70Wh battery lasts ~6–8 hours (web browsing). Users appreciate the premium build but note the larger footprint due to the 17.3" display and limited port variety. Ideal for professionals needing a portable, dual-screen workstation.
