At CES, Lenovo debuts first ‘rollable’ laptop display that expands screen size

Second monitors are a thing of the past: Introducing a new “rollable” laptop from Lenovo that hides a new way to extend your screen size with no additional products.

Unveiled at this week’s annual CES event in Las Vegas, Lenovo’s ThinkBook™ Plus Gen 6 Rollable AI laptop, is, according to the company, a first of its kind personal device that can instantly increase the laptop’s vertical display to make working, coding, and creating content easier and more efficient on-the-go.

The device has a flexible OLED display powered by small motors in its hinge, which vertically unrolls a tucked away screen that transforms the 14-inch display into a significantly larger 16.7 inch screen. The rolling motion is powered by a key on the keyboard or even just a hand gesture, according to user preference. Once extended, the display can be used for vertical split-screening as if its a second monitor, or for simply boosting your screen’s surface area.

“Engineered for maximum versatility and reliability, the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable combines the portability of a traditional laptop with the expanded workspace of a larger device,” writes Lenovo. “With a unique vertical laptop screen experience, the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 also encourages better posture, reducing strain for professionals working long hours.”

The design was first introduced as the Lenovo rollable laptop concept two years ago. The fully realized, consumer-ready version will go to market at an eyebrow-raising $3,499 sometime in early 2025.
