"Last year, the company released the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6, with a mechanical screen that could roll out to increase its size from 14 to 16.7 inches. Now, it's back with the ThinkPad Rollable XD concept laptop that expands from 13.3 to 16 inches at the touch of a button or a swipe, along with the ThinkBook Plus Gen 7 Auto Twist, which uses a motor to rotate its screen."
"The rollable display technology wraps around the top lip of the lid, leaving room for the equivalent of a second screen on the back. This secondary display, on the concept unit, showed a series of three widgets, which you could theoretically use for tasks like viewing the weather, stock quotes, or AI answers. It's not big enough to hold a full application window, so forget about using it to show a presentation to the person sitting across from you."
Lenovo released the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 with a mechanical screen that rolled out from 14 to 16.7 inches. New prototypes include the ThinkPad Rollable XD, expanding from 13.3 to 16 inches by button or swipe, and the ThinkBook Plus Gen 7 Auto Twist, which uses a motor to rotate its screen. The Rollable XD uses a ThinkPad X13 chassis with similar performance from Intel Core Ultra processors. The rollable panel wraps the top lid, creating a small secondary back display for widgets like weather, stocks, or AI answers. The main screen is 2048 x 2350 and fully visible only when opened; the opening exposes two visible motors. The Rollable XD remains a concept.
