"The main difference with Lenovo's latest concept is that instead of hiding the unused section of its rollable display underneath its keyboard, the XD's panel wraps up and over its lid to create a "world-facing" display around back. This allows people sitting on the other side of the laptop to see content, with the laptop capable of mirroring elements from its main display or using that space as a small secondary monitor."
"Even though Lenovo's space-themed animation that appears when the laptop's display extends is pretty slick, I'm not sure how helpful that world-facing display really is. In normal use, you can't even see it because it's on the other side of the lid and while I suppose you could utilize that area for meetings or presentations, I think most people would be much better off simply connecting the notebook to a dedicated secondary monitor or projector."
"That said, I do like that contrary to the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6, by exposing the unused part of the XD Rollable's display when it's not extended, you get a little bit of extra value out of it. At the very least, it beats stashing the rest of the panel underneath the keyboard where it won't be seen at all."
The XD Rollable features a 180-degree Gorilla Glass Victus 2 cover and uses the same core engineering as the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6. The 13.3-inch flexible OLED expands to 16 inches with a button, adding roughly 50 percent extra screen space. The panel wraps over the lid to form a world-facing display that can mirror the main screen or act as a small secondary monitor. The world-facing display may be hard to see in normal usage and offers limited usefulness compared with connecting an external monitor or projector. Exposing the unused panel provides visible value compared with hiding it under the keyboard.
