Is Roblox safe for kids? New features tackle risks, but parents must stay vigilant
January 23, 2025
Move over foldables, it is time for the rollable displays in 2025 and Lenovo is one of the first to unveil its product with the technology at the CES this year. The popular ThinkBook series is getting the big overhaul at the event and we will soon be seeing the product head over to the market, obviously with an eye-catching price tag.
Lenovo has teased its rollable displays over the years at various editions of CES and it is finally coming out with a market-ready product that will surely get people excited for what’s on offer and how it is different from the foldable design.
The rollable display can be unleashed vertically when you click the right button on the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 laptop. The tech includes a motor which pushes the display out and rolls over the main unit at the top.
We have mostly seen these displays as a concept, so when Lenovo decided to spice up the market with an actual product for the buyers, it sure has got everyone intrigued, even though the $3,500 (Rs 2,97,500 approx) price tag will be enough to push most people away. Having said that, the PC market has been in dire need of a refresh which was first offered with foldables, and now rollable.
The actual laptop has a 14-inch screen but the rollable extension makes it a 16.7-inch sized display that does make it look unassuming but it definitely will catch your eye with its unique profile. It comes powered by an Intel Core Ultra processor, but will have limited number of ports for connectivity which means you’ll have to spend on an external hub.
There will be concerns about the durability of this hinge and how many rolls the motor can handle but it seems Lenovo is confident enough to bring it to the market in the coming months, that too at such a price. Windows also needs to be well powered to run on this form factor which should happen as the product evolves and reach the market.
We’re eager to see how this product works out in real life and hopefully get a closer look at the technology doing its work.
