Lenovo ThinkBook 13x Gen 4 SPE is a revolutionary and innovative proof of concept that boasts powerful performance, an exquisite appearance, and leads a trend of intelligent color personalization laptop covers. Through Lenovo’s hardware and software algorithm solutions and leveraging E Ink Prism™ technology, users can customize the exterior cover in various patterns, creating a unique notebook appearance. This concept supports up to one thousand different images, allowing users to express their personality and creativity.

With the ultra-low power technology from E ink and Lenovo’s system design, the color-changing top cover won’t impact the battery life – even when the system is powered off, the top cover can still keep changing. Lenovo will highlight four design schemes at CES 2024, including two colorful schemes, dynamic clock and multi system interaction, that offer different and unique customer preferences.
