Link: Lenovo’s rollable laptop is the coolest computer I’ve used all year
Lenovo has transformed an innovative concept into a tangible product with the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6, featuring a rollable screen that expands from 14 inches to 16.7 inches. Not just a novelty, the expanding screen enhances productivity by facilitating better multitasking and providing more screen space.
The laptop boasts a high-quality keyboard and trackpad, alongside solid performance and battery life despite its $3,300 price tag. However, it's heavier than comparable models and has limited port options.
While the rollable display proves useful, the mechanism introduces slight wobbles and audible quirks. The robust aluminum chassis maintains a premium feel, necessitated partly by the need to balance the extended screen.
Sound quality from the front-facing speakers is mediocre, and Lenovo's included Workspace app for managing screen real estate is more cumbersome than helpful. Instead, standard window management tools provided a smoother experience.
Despite potential concerns about long-term durability and repair costs, the ThinkBook Plus's rollable display stands out as a pioneering technology. Lenovo's commitment to innovative, yet practical laptop designs continues to impress.
This rollable screen laptop might kickstart a new trend in flexible display technology, setting a high bar for what's possible in compact, portable computing. While pricey and somewhat niche, the ThinkBook Plus offers a glimpse into the potential future of laptops. #
