At first glance, the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 looks like your standard Windows laptop, but when you turn off the display, it becomes an Android tablet . I got to check out Lenovo's truly hybrid 2-in-1 at CES 2024 — read on for my first impressions or watch the video above to see it in action. By placing the display, ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 is a very popular 14-inch Windows laptop. It's a bit thicker and heavier than you'd expect from a laptop of this size, but that's because it's essentially two machines in one. Inside the keyboard or hybrid dock, you have the full Windows experience. Remove the display and you have your own Android tablet. Despite the extra weight, the hybrid nature of the car gives it versatility.
Maybe you want to watch a movie Fax Lists on an Android tablet, but dig into some tabs Windows side with a full keyboard - with ThinkBook Plus Gen 5 you can do it using whichever OS or form factor is more suitable for a specific task.

For example, when you turn off the tablet, you will not get connectivity from the Windows software. What you used to do on your laptop won't be instantly transferred to your Android tablet. But you get file sharing - if you save a file on your Windows machine, you can access it on your Android tablet. This adds some convenience for hybrid workloads and environments.
This can be improved by connecting the monitor to the base, because then you can Android and Windows systems at the same time. As far as its suitability as an Android tablet goes, the ThinkBook Plus Gen 2.8's detachable 5K OLED display is certainly big at 14 inches, but it's also very light in the hand. Based on the short amount of time I had with it, I feel like I was able to keep it on for an hour without putting too much stress on my hands. Unlike Windows tablets, you also get all the Android features you've come to expect, including access to the Google Play Store and an interface that's much more intuitive than touch controls.
