Lenovo and Intel have collaborated to create the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6, a laptop with a rollable screen that can expand from a 14-inch to a 16.7-inch display.
The laptop was first showcased as a concept in 2023 and made its debut as a finished product at CES 2025, winning numerous awards.
The flexible OLED display is designed to withstand frequent rolling with a rated durability of 20,000 rolls and 30,000 lid cycles.
Intel's Dynamic Tuning Technology helps manage power consumption and thermal parameters to seamlessly transition between screen sizes.
The laptop features an Intel Core Ultra 7 Series 2 processor with advanced graphics and neural processing capabilities.
Users can benefit from the expanded screen real estate in portrait mode, especially in tasks like coding, video conferencing, and social media management.
However, software optimization remains a challenge, with Windows 11 struggling to adapt to the variable screen size effectively.
The laptop offers up to 32 GB of memory, 1 TB SSD storage, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a 66 Wh battery with a 65 W GaN USB-C charger.
The starting price for the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 is $3,499, positioning it in the premium laptop segment targeted at professionals in finance, design, and social media.
Lenovo's launch of the rollable laptop reflects a trend of innovation in the ThinkBook series, with previous models exploring concepts like E-Ink lids and dual screens.
