Windows laptops bridge work, entertainment, and creativity on powerful machines with impressive displays for a variety of budgets.
With the traditional ThinkBook laptops rounding out the company’s offerings, it’s hard not to get excited about what Lenovo is set to roll out throughout 2024 and beyond.
Lenovo ThinkBook Transparent Display laptop
The laptop that will turn the most heads is, without question, the Lenovo ThinkBook Transparent Display with a see-through screen that gives a glimpse at the potential future of laptops. The company says it has a 17.3-inch Micro-LED transparent display that offers a borderless viewing experience. Thekeyboard areais also transparent, making the laptop look almost like a space-age floating device, unlike anything we’ve ever seen. Despite the transparent design, Lenovo says its display offers 1000-nit brightness, which is more than expected from this new technology.
The transparent keyboard switches between a full keyboard for typing and writing and a drawing space that works with a supported pen. There’s also a lot of talk ofArtificial IntelligenceGenerated Content (AIGC) and how it could be useful with a laptop like this. For example, Lenovo cites blending physical objects and overlaying digital information to create unique user-generated content that wouldn’t be possible with a traditional notebook.

Unfortunately, Lenovo calls this laptop a “proof of concept,” so we wouldn’t expect to be able to purchase one anytime in the near future, if at all. “Lenovo ThinkBook Transparent Display Laptop is not only a proof of concept but showcases a futuristic perspective on AI PCs, blending digital and physical environments that can enhance user experiences in ways never imagined,” reads the company’s press release.

These laptops are all slated to launch between March and May, so there’s some cool stuff to be excited about on the horizon, even if most of these models are iterative changes that build on the success of the already popularlaptops.
Here’s the breakdown of the availability of each of Lenovo’s new laptops:
On paper, it looks like Lenovo has a solid lineup of new laptops and 2-in-1 devices coming soon, so if you’re thinking about picking up a new Windows laptop, it might be worth waiting for Lenovo’s latest.
