Part of me still can’t believe it, but Lenovo did the thing: it took a bonkers concept for a laptop with a rollable screen and built the tech into something you can actually own and use like a normal computer. Except, as conventional as the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 can be, it’s far from a normal computer. It’s a $3,300 laptop with a screen that expands from 14 inches to 16.7 inches at the push of a button.
The expanding screen is genuinely useful, and it makes the ThinkBook by far one of the coolest and most futuristic-looking laptops I’ve ever used. But, as with most new technologies, being at the bleeding edge is costly. And as you might expect for a laptop that physically gets taller, there are some growing pains, too.
