It looks like Lenovo's upcoming ThinkBook Plus laptop will have a rolling screen. According to images Lenovo's sixth-generation ThinkBook Plus will have an extendable rolling display that builds on the one the company first introduced in 2022.
The leaked images show a laptop with a traditional screen, albeit a little taller than average, that can be extended and unrolled until you have two screens stacked on top of each other. Lenovo's images show an open video call at the top of the screen and what looks like a PowerPoint presentation at the bottom, but one imagines the possibilities for using the extra screen real estate are pretty limitless. Blass didn't share any other technical details about the new ThinkBook Plus, but with January weeks away, it seems very likely that the new laptop will make an official appearance soon.
Lenovo has been toying with the concept of a rollable laptop for a few years, and this new ThinkBook Plus looks like a direct descendant of the company's previous device concept. Lenovo is no stranger to making strange laptops either. The one from CES 2024 featured a screen that could rotate and fold on its own, and the one from 2023 joined together two separate touchscreens to give owners even more screen real estate for gaming.
Up to this point, rollable screens have mainly existed in smartphone concepts and so if Lenovo can sell a laptop with a single screen at an affordable price and guarantee that it won't suffer from hardware issues, it could have a hit in his hands. . Then again, the previous fifth generation (a Windows computer when you attached a keyboard and an Android tablet when you didn't) started at $2,000, so it might be a mistake to expect affordability.
