The ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 has a "rollable" screen that expands the display by almost 50%, and there's a good idea here behind the party trick.

The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 laptop sports a unique expandable display that could enable some serious on-the-go multitasking — if you’re willing to cough up $3,500 for one.

Lenovo has launched the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable at CES 2025, which "unrolls" or extends the laptop's display to create additional screen space.

Lenovo announced a laptop today that experiments with a new way to offer laptop users more screen space than the typical clamshell design. The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable has a screen that can roll up vertically to expand from 14 inches diagonally to 16.7 inches, presenting an alternative to prior foldable-screen and dual-screen laptops.

Samsung Display (SDC) recently held a media event at CES 2025 in the US, announcing that it will supply rollable displays for Lenovo's ThinkBook Plus G6 Rollable, incorporating color filter on encapsulation technology.

Lenovo presented a concept notebook with a screen that you could expand out sideways. Now, the company is heading in completely the opposite direction - upwards.A prototype of the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable on display at the CES tech fair in Las Vegas (running until 10 January) can extend its display frame upwards at the touch of a button or by hand.
