Rollable Screen on ThinkPad Laptop
Rollable technology is still in its early stages, but Lenovo wants to show that a laptop with a screen is possible in the future.
Lenovo already has a foldable laptop in the ThinkPad series, but is now adding a laptop to its popular lineup with a rollable screen. The company has teased us about its 12-inch rollable screen that will be part of ThinkPad laptops in the near future.
Lenovo claims that with this technology the 12-inch display can expand vertically to form a 16-inch screen. Lenovo showcases its new innovative product at Lenovo Tech World This week’s 2022 event.
Foldable laptops seem to be the easier of the two for manufacturers, but having a rollable screen means you avoid crease issues. Samsung has improved on that aspect with its new-gen foldable device, but the rollable certainly seems like a better option to choose from.
We’ve already seen the technology on TVs from LG and there’s even a phone with a rollable screen. Sadly, this technology is still in its infancy, so the products are priced high. LG Rollable TV comes at Rs.75 lakhs, which gives you the status of the technology in the industry.
Lenovo believes the rollable display will take multitasking and browsing to another level. It will continue to explore new form factors for laptops, which suggests that foldable and rollable technology is just the beginning for the company.
Asus is another brand that has continued to experiment with the new laptop form factor, and it also has a Fold model in its lineup, which is expected to be widely available in the coming months. As for the Lenovo Rollable ThinkPad laptops, the company’s showcase mentions that this is only a proof of concept, meaning the product could either hit the market or something other brands have done in recent years.
