Announced at CES 2025, the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Uses a Rollable OLED Screen to Revolutionize Multitasking, but Its High Price Challenges the Market.

Lenovo has just redefined the notebook concept with the launch of the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6, the world’s first laptop with a rollable OLED screen to hit the market. Presented as a PC with artificial intelligence, this innovative device allows its screen to “grow” vertically, transforming a compact 14 inches into a near 17-inch giant at the touch of a button.

Developed in partnership with Samsung Display, the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 is a bold bet on the future of mobile computing, targeting professionals and content creators who need more screen space without sacrificing portability. Equipped with the new Intel Core Ultra processors and a robust AI package, it promises to be a definitive productivity machine, but its launch price of around $3,500 puts it in an exclusive tier.

How Does the “Growing” Screen Work?

Self-Expanding Screen? Lenovo Presents Laptop with Unprecedented Technology and Surprising Design

The big trick of the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 lies in its motorized mechanism. When pressing a dedicated key or gesturing in front of the webcam, small motors spring into action and the flexible OLED screen smoothly unfurls, expanding upwards.

Laptop with 'Self-Rising' Screen is Real: Lenovo Surprises with Cutting-Edge Technology

Inside, the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 is a true powerhouse. It is equipped with the latest generation Intel Core Ultra (Lunar Lake series) processors, which feature a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) for artificial intelligence tasks.

The software matches the hardware, running Windows 11 with Copilot+ PC certification. In addition, Lenovo included its own assistant, Lenovo AI Now, which processes data locally for increased privacy and helps to optimize workflow. To organize the extra screen space, the ThinkBook Workspace software allows for smart workspace division.

Design, Build, and Portability

Despite the complex technology, Lenovo managed to keep the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 with a relatively compact shape when closed. Its chassis is made with 50% recycled aluminum, following the brand’s sustainability trend.

However, innovation comes at a cost. Weighing 1.7 kg and nearly 20 mm thick, it is heavier and thicker than traditional ultrabooks, a necessary sacrifice to accommodate the rollable mechanism.

Price and Who Is This Laptop For?

Innovation has a high cost. The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 has an initial price of US$ 3,499 (about R$ 19,000 at direct conversion), placing it as a niche product.

It is ideal for:

Creative Professionals: Video editors, designers, and programmers who benefit from the extra vertical space.
Early Adopters: Technology enthusiasts who want to have the most innovative offerings on the market.
Executives: Looking for a unique and high-impact productivity tool.

For the average consumer, the price is still a significant barrier, especially when cheaper alternatives, like portable monitors, can offer similar functionality. Still, the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 is a fascinating glimpse into what the future of laptops may hold.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

Secret chamber sealed 4,500 years ago found in the Pyramid of Khufu, and Hawass announces its opening to the world in 2026

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

China has begun the second phase of energy assistance to Cuba with a 120 MW solar generation plan, and the first result is a photovoltaic park with batteries that regulates voltage, controls frequency, and provides local autonomy to an island suffocated by chronic blackouts.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

Man uses AI to apply for 1,000 jobs while he sleeps

The Earth has become an orbital junkyard: 15,550 tons of space debris surround the planet with dead satellites, abandoned rockets, and fragments traveling at 28,000 km/h.

Unmanned and with the autonomy to cross oceans for up to 30 days, the DriX O-16 is a 15.75-meter naval drone that sails alone for 3,500 nautical miles carrying sensors for warfare, surveillance, and submarine mapping missions.

Solar garden table created by a Swiss company promises to generate energy at home, power everyday devices, and even pay for itself over time using only sunlight.
