Lenovo's Unveils a Revolutionary ThinkBook: The Rollable Laptop with a Sliding Screen
Don't go soaking your precious Lenovo ThinkBook in water, thankfully. It doesn't need the TLC of a plant to thrive. Snag this bad boy from Lenovo, and you'll be the proud owner of the ThinkBook Plus Rollable. Yes, we've seen it before, but spoiler alert, it's the real deal now, available for a hefty $3,500.
Lenovo touts the ThinkBook Plus as offering an extra 50% screen space just by pressing a button or using a hand gesture. Fancy scrolling through a spreadsheet or feeling like a cyber-sleuth with your screen expanding right before your eyes? This laptop might be right up your alley. It also boasts a vertical split-screen for multiple windows, although I'd probably opt for a wider screen for dealing with multiple documents.
Powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, the device features two Thunderbolt 4 ports, up to 32 GB of RAM, and a 66 Whr battery. But wait, there's more! This unique laptop competes with other screen space enhancers like the Asus Zenbook Duo and Lenovo's own Yoga Book 9i. There's also a growing trend of foldable laptops with flexible screens, but the ThinkBook Rollable seems to strike a balance between performance and practicality.
With the added screen, the laptop still weighs about 3.7 pounds. It might not be the lightest in the market, but it's not a burden, especially considering the power it packs. The laptop is slim at 19.9 mm when closed, but the gray color option might not be everyone's cup of tea. Is the price worth it for a 16.7-inch vertically-minded display? If all you need is a mega-screen or to relive your '80s arcade games, then it might just be.
Lenovo's ThinkBook Plus Rollable is a $3,500 investment for a 16.7-inch display that expands with the press of a button.
