ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 brings Lenovo’s rollable OLED display to market

Lenovo is bringing its rollable display concept to market for laptops with the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6, launching this summer.

A standout announcement from the huge array of Lenovo PC products at the show CES 2025The Thinkbook Plus Gen 6 expands vertically from a 14-inch display to a 16.7-inch display.

The mechanical feature, which can be accessed using a dedicated key on the keyboard or by gesturing on the webcam, offers the user 50% more screen real estate to work with.

For the first time since then, we saw this technology in the flesh. Lenovo unveiled the concept at Mobile World Congress almost two years ago. It’s now set to release in June, priced at a whopping $3,500 (UK pricing and availability TBA).

Lenovo thinks this will be ideal, for example, for business users who need to see many more rows of a spreadsheet, or for authors who want to see the entire document without having to scroll through it. Moreover, the extended aspect ratio allows for two windows with a 16:9 aspect ratio.

Lenovo has pulled out all the stops with this laptop because it doesn’t have to sacrifice display quality for a unique and crowd-pleasing design. The display is an OLED panel with a resolution of 2000 x 1600, although mounting motors on the hinge increases the resolution to 2000 x 2350. The display also boasts a 120Hz refresh rate and 400 nits of brightness. Additionally, it maintains a fairly slim profile of 19.9mm and weighs just 1.7kg.

The laptop isn’t just a gimmick, it’s there where you need it. He works for Intel Core Ultra 7 (series 2) processors that give it enough artificial intelligence capabilities to classify it as Microsoft Copilot+ PC. There’s up to 32GB of DDR5 RAM, up to 1TB PCIe 4 SSD storage, and integrated Intel Arc X graphics.

Thunderbolt 4, Bluetooth 5.4 and Wi-Fi 7 ensure it stays up to date with new standards. Otherwise, it looks like a pretty standard productivity laptop!

“Designed for maximum versatility and reliability, ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable combines the portability of a traditional laptop with the expanded workspace of a larger device,” Lenovo said in a press release.

“Its native ThinkBook Workspace feature enhances the user experience by providing split-screen functionality and dedicated widgets for easy access to frequently used apps and tools. With its unique vertical display, ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 also helps improve posture, reducing the strain on professionals who work long hours.”
