Lenovo previewed a novel laptop sporting a display that expanded upward to offer the user more screen real estate. At CES 2025 last week, the company took concept into reality with the launch of the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6.

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 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.

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.

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.
