Brad Linder<p><strong>Lenovo ThinkBook Plus laptop with a rollable display could launch in 2025</strong></p><p>Lenovo has been showing off <a href="https://liliputing.com/lenovos-rollable-laptop-display-concept-extends-upward-to-give-you-more-space/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">concept laptops with rollable OLED displays</a> for the <a href="https://liliputing.com/lenovo-shows-off-rollable-smartphone-and-laptop-prototypes/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">past few years</a>. Now Lenovo is said to be preparing to turn that concept into a real device you can actually buy.</p><p>Evan Blass has shared a set of pictures to <a href="https://evleaks.substack.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Leakmail subscribers</a> that give us a first look at a new <strong>Lenovo ThinkBook Plus</strong> laptop that could debut at CES in January and hit the streets sometime later in 2025.</p><p></p><p>When the screen is retracted, the laptop looks a lot like any other notebook computer. But it has a mechanism that allows the screen to unroll and extend upward, doubling the amount of screen space available without the need to provide two physical displays.</p><p>Lenovo already offers a <a href="https://liliputing.com/tag/lenovo-thinkpad-x1-fold/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">foldable laptop</a> and a <a href="https://liliputing.com/tag/lenovo-yoga-book-9i/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">dual-screen laptop</a> that give you similar amounts of screen space in a portable computer. But neither of those computers have a built-in keyboard. Instead you have to attach a keyboard or use a wireless keyboard when you want physical keys.</p><p>The new ThinkBook Plus is different in that it looks and functions more like a traditional laptop. There’s only a single device to carry and keep charged, and you can use it on your lap or a desk or table.</p> <a href="https://liliputing.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/tbplus_03.jpg" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a> <a href="https://liliputing.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/tbplus_02.jpg" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a> <a href="https://liliputing.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/tbplus_01.jpg" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a> <p>It’s also the latest in a long line of <a href="https://liliputing.com/tag/lenovo-thinkbook-plus/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">ThinkBook Plus</a> devices that offer outside-the-box interpretations of the laptop form factor. Previous model have included <a href="https://liliputing.com/lenovo-thinkbook-plus-hybrid-is-two-computers-in-one-windows-pc-with-a-detachable-android-tablet/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">a hybrid devices that run Windows and Android</a>, models with <a href="https://liliputing.com/lenovo-thinkbook-plus-twist-is-a-convertible-laptop-with-13-3-inch-oled-and-12-inch-e-ink-color-displays/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">E Ink and OLED displays</a>, and notebooks with a <a href="https://liliputing.com/lenovos-new-thinkbook-plus-has-a-17-3-inch-primary-display-and-an-8-inch-second-screen/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">second screen next to the keyboard</a>, just to name a few recent examples.</p><p>Given how frequently Lenovo completely changes the design of its ThinkBook Plus lineup, it’s unclear if the ThinkBook Plus Rollable will be a one-off or if this it could be the company’s first experimental approach toward a new direction of laptop computers.</p><p>But I will say that after having spent some time with a <a href="https://liliputing.com/tag/gpd-duo/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">GPD Duo</a> dual-screen laptop that combines a built-in keyboard with two screens stacked one on top of the other, I find this sort of design to be surprisingly compelling for heavy-duty multitasking, and I hope we see more companies move in this direction.</p><p>There’s no word from Blass on exactly when the Lenovo rollable laptop is expected to hit the streets or how much it’ll cost. But given the unusual technology involved, I wouldn’t expect it to be cheap.</p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://liliputing.com/tag/ces-2025/" target="_blank">#ces2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://liliputing.com/tag/leaks/" target="_blank">#leaks</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://liliputing.com/tag/lenovo/" target="_blank">#lenovo</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://liliputing.com/tag/lenovo-thinkbook-plus/" target="_blank">#lenovoThinkbookPlus</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://liliputing.com/tag/rollable/" target="_blank">#rollable</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://liliputing.com/tag/rollable-display/" target="_blank">#rollableDisplay</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://liliputing.com/tag/thinkbook-plus/" target="_blank">#thinkbookPlus</a></p>
