Lenovo’s ThinkPad range needs no introduction, but this may be the first review of a ThinkBook you’ve read. That’s despite the first ThinkBooks being launched in 2019. The conceit behind the range is to allow Lenovo to extend the “Think” brand to small businesses with more competitive prices, shorter product lifespans and lower prices.
