Link: Lenovo’s new concept laptop has a rotating screen that’s perfect for doomscrolling

Lenovo has introduced the ThinkBook VertiFlex Concept at IFA 2025, featuring a screen that rotates into portrait mode. This innovative design is ideal for viewing documents and coding, providing a unique user experience.

The rotation mechanism is a simple pivot system, lacking complex components like flexible OLEDs or motors. This straightforward approach makes it one of the most practical Lenovo laptop concepts to date.

I had a chance to preview this concept laptop in New York City and found its vertical screen rotation feature both charming and practical. It's especially useful when used as a secondary monitor in vertical orientation.

Despite its innovation, the VertiFlex is not particularly light or thin, measuring 17.9mm thick and weighing 1.39kg. However, its design is simpler and potentially more affordable than Lenovo's more elaborate models.

Even without the flashy specs, the basic yet functional design of the VertiFlex points to a higher likelihood of it becoming a market-ready product. Lenovo aims to offer versatility without unnecessary complexity.

With this concept, Lenovo continues to explore different configuration possibilities, potentially adapting the VertiFlex to various laptop sizes. This adaptable innovation underscores Lenovo's commitment to enhancing user experience through practical design enhancements. #
