Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable: The Future of Laptops, Arriving in 2025
After debuting as a concept, the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable is finally set to become a reality, with availability expected in Q1 2025. This groundbreaking laptop combines futuristic tech with practicality, featuring a rollable, expandable screen that offers users flexibility and convenience like never before. Priced at around $3,500, the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable builds on the foundation laid by Lenovo’s Yoga Book 9i, but with a unique twist—its screen can extend from behind the laptop’s standard display, offering more screen real estate while keeping the keyboard intact.
When in compact mode, the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 features a 14-inch OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate and 100% DCI-P3 color accuracy, making it ideal for professional work and content consumption. However, when you need more screen space, the display can unroll to 16.7 inches diagonally, transforming the laptop’s display into a portrait mode. This extended view allows for more efficient multitasking, where you can subdivide the screen into multiple windows, ideal for managing multiple documents or having various apps open at once. For those in virtual meetings, Lenovo has also made it easy to share this extra screen space during Zoom or Teams calls, eliminating the need for external monitors.
Under the hood, the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable runs on the latest Core Ultra Series 2 (Lunar Lake) chip, ensuring high performance while maintaining excellent battery life despite the additional screen. It offers up to 32GB of LPDDR5x RAM and up to 1TB of PCIe storage—ample for handling professional workloads. The laptop is equipped with modern features like Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, Thunderbolt 4 ports, and a 5MP webcam. Weighing in at 3.73 pounds and with dimensions of 11.92 x 9.06 x 0.74 inches, it’s slightly heavier than other prosumer laptops, but the innovation it brings justifies the weight.
Shipping with Windows 11 Pro (but without a vPro chipset), the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable promises to push the envelope in terms of laptop design and functionality. However, it remains to be seen if this rollable screen will be a feature that sticks or a passing trend. Only time will tell if the rollable laptop is the future of mobile computing or just an experimental gimmick.
