This is a great way to multitask and maximize your work performance. And it also boasts a 13.3-inch main screen with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels.

The E Ink display can make you more productive

The E Ink display lets you check on your work without opening the laptop, saving time and allowing you to glance at documents in a second. Furthermore, the screen has a 16:10 low blue light display with a 90% STB ratio. This provides an edge-to-edge viewing experience.

Use a stylus on the second screen to jot notes

If you regularly take notes, the updated Lenovo laptop lets you ditch paper and offers a more eco-friendly option: the E Ink screen. Use the pop-out stylus, which fits inside the notebook, to take these notes in an efficient manner.
