Lenovo launches ThinkBook at the Accelerate 2019 event-- a notebook sub-brand dedicated to SMBs featuring a line of ultra-slime Windows 10 products promising both portability and ease-of-use.

According to the company, ThinkBook is aimed specifically at SMBs buying consumer laptops for perceived design and price advantages, even as they lack extended services and warranties. In addition, ThinkBook notebooks feature a sleek, minimalist look, something the company says is in demand from young tech-savvy execs.

It was perhaps inevitable-- following the arrival of the foldable smartphone Lenovo claims to have the first "foldable PC," a device with a large flexible display making part of the premium ThinkPad X1 range.

According to the Lenovo, the yet unnamed device is an actual "full-fledged laptop with a foldable screen," not a tablet or a hybrid. The foldable display is a 13.3-inch OLED number offering 2K resolution in a 4:3 aspect ratio, making the device around he size of a larger hardback book. Further hardware details are scant, since the company simply says it is Intel-powered, runs Windows and features a full-day battery life.

Customers wanting to multitask while playing games can get to do so with the HP Omen X 2S-- a laptop featuring a secondary display embedded above the keyboard complete with dedicated hotkeys.

The 6-inch 1080p second display allows for a variety of tasks, such as messaging friends on social media, browsing Spotify, watching Twitch or YouTube videos, or act as a hub for Omen Command Centre software, all without interrupting on-screen action. In addition, users can "cut" parts of the main screen, such as the map, and magnify them on second display.

The CITE 2019 show in Shenzhen, China sees Lenovo bring the ThinkBook range back with the ThinkBook S, a pair of models in 13- and 14-inch displays in minimalist business-style machined aluminium bodies.

First spotted by news site Notebook Italia, the ThinkBook S machines appear to be an update on the previous-gen IdeaPad laptop line. Technically dubbed the ThinkBook S540-13-IWL and the ThinkBook S540-14-IWL, the two notebooks respectively feature 13.3- and 14.1-inch 1920 x 1080 resolution IPS displays paired with Intel Core i7-8565U (Whiskey Lake) processors, 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD storage. Select SKUs also feature AMD Radeon 540X graphics.
