“Lenovo Redefines Playful Productivity with Innovative New PC Designs”

Major companies are typically not recognized for embracing risks. This holds true in the realm of consumer electronics as it does elsewhere. Yearly upgrades tend to be minor, featuring slight adjustments in areas such as screen resolution or picture quality.

Lenovo is more than willing to defy this trend, proudly presenting its latest enhancements to its PC lineup annually. The offerings usually consist of a mix of products and concepts, the latter often remaining purely theoretical yet always reminding us that PC manufacturers can still innovate.

At CES 2025, the rollable laptop evolved from concept to reality. The ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 is set to launch later this year at a price point of $3,500. The highlight of this product is its display, which can mechanically extend to a maximum size of 16.7 inches. This transformation isn’t instantaneous — the actual unrolling process is quite subtle. However, it takes about 10 seconds to transition from the initial state to the final size.

The most straightforward reason for this product’s existence might be “simply because it’s cool.” More practically, it offers the possibility of carrying a much larger screen within a compact form. In principle, it’s akin to the concept behind foldable smartphones.

Several other devices featured at CES are still very much in the conceptual stage but deserve attention. One is a large-screen desktop that employs onboard motion tracking to follow the user. It can change its height or shift left or right. Essentially, this is the stationary counterpart of the moving Auto Twist AI PC demonstrated by the company last September.

Notably, the casing and base of the system are made from a blend of bamboo and corn, aiming for a more sustainable approach to hardware production. This system was showcased alongside a wireless keyboard that charges solely using the ambient light of the monitor.
