Lenovo's Latest Laptop Has a Rollable OLED Screen

Lenovo has unveiled its innovative ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable PC at CES 2025, featuring a unique rollable OLED screen that expands from 14 inches to 16.7 inches, effectively doubling the display area. This functionality allows users to enhance productivity by stacking applications vertically. The laptop weighs 3.7 pounds and is powered by Intel's Core Ultra 7 Series 2 processor, with options for up to 32 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage. It is set to retail for $3,499 and will begin shipping in the first quarter of 2025. Additionally, Lenovo introduced the Legion Go S, the first third-party handheld gaming console running SteamOS, available in Windows and SteamOS versions, starting at $500. The device features an 8-inch LCD display and improved battery life. Lenovo also showcased the ThinkCentre M90a Pro Gen 6, an all-in-one computer equipped with "Lenovo Focus Sound," a technology that delivers audio directly to the user while preventing others from hearing it. This model will be available for $2,539.

I do enjoy seeing the interesting things Lenovo put together.

Will these foldable or extendable screens for phones, tablets, and laptops be the next 3D TVs, I wonder? The extra expense for features people don't even end up using very often (or don't see huge value in for the day to day), now with the extra downside that the devices are often much harder to maintain or repair feels to me like a solid maybe. I am extremely out of touch though lol. In the same vein, are touchscreen laptops (or monitors?) for daily computing a feature people use?

Anyway, I guess I just wonder if this is a flash in the pan or the next standard/standard-ish kind of feature.

Devices like this that use foldable displays really show how much behind Apple is by now with innovation. It's been said they work on a foldable iPhone and iPad, but with a 2027 release date, they'll be even more behind by then.

It's funny that Lenovo thinks this is what will sell laptops.

If I had a chance to hands on this abomination, i'd load up a pic of longcat and then decide i've had enough of the quirk.

Is there a mechanism sketch of this? Where is the screen unrolled from?
