Lenovo has taken its concept laptop stand from two years ago and turned it into a fully functional product, which will hit the market in June. The ThinkBook Plus Gen 7 Auto Twist is a standalone notebook that comes with an impressive array of features.
On the surface, the device doesn't look outlandish at all. The 14-inch 2.8K OLED display pops up from its body when you knock on it twice, thanks to a motorized lid system. Underneath this feature lies a traditional keyboard and solid specs that include Intel's new Core Ultra Series 3 processors, up to 32GB of RAM, 2TB of storage, and a decently large 75Whr battery.
One thing that sets the Auto Twist apart is its auto-twisting display feature, which uses cameras and AI to track your face as you move around. This means that during video calls or presentations, the laptop can adjust its position to keep you neatly in frame, making it easier to engage with others without distractions. The system also has a dance mode, where you can make the display move to music.
But what really caught my attention was the auto-lid feature when the device is turned off. When you shut down your ThinkBook Plus Gen 7 Auto Twist, its own lid will automatically close itself, like it's going to sleep.
In addition to these features, Lenovo is positioning the laptop as a vertical AI solution for small businesses. The system supports Microsoft's Copilot+ features and has its own AI companion that can be used to answer questions or translate languages.
While I'm still unsure if I need this level of tech in a laptop, it's undeniable that the ThinkBook Plus Gen 7 Auto Twist is an innovative product. Its starting price of $1,649 might not seem too steep for those interested in cutting-edge technology, especially considering its release date in June.
