I normally don’t put three question marks in a title, but you have to admit this new screen is kind of funky. Good for Lenovo for innovating. Time will tell how useful this is, but we’re always happy to see companies actually doing something new or different. Now the market will decide if this feature is useful.
About this crazy new feature, from Lenovo’s website:
By vertically expanding from a compact 14-inch display to a generous 16.7 inches by simple press of a dedicated key or through hand gestures to the camera, users gain nearly 50% additional screen space in a portable form factor, making it ideal for business users who need flexibility and efficiency on the go. This rollable feature allows professionals to adapt the screen size based on task demands, from document editing to data analysis and presentations, all while maintaining an ultra-slim 14-inch laptop footprint with a 19.9mm profile and weighing just 1.7kg.
Coming in June of 2025 and for $3500, this is not a cheap laptop. Key specifications include:
- 14-16.7 inch OLED display (120 Hz)
