Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable Review: A Bold OLED Rollable Laptop

August 29, 2026

Tech

Annonced at CES 2025 and eventually released, somewhat belatedly, at the end of last year, the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable is a laptop featuring a roll-out OLED display that can swing from a relatively conventional 14-inch footprint to a 16.7-inch screen in a vertical format. An innovative concept, indeed, but how does it perform in practice? Our review provides the answer.

Lenovo, for its part, tends to push innovative concepts—sometimes extravagant, but never absurd. Each year the Chinese manufacturer places a priority on presenting a handful of models that claim an unconventional design. Most of them are concept proofs and not destined for full commercial release, yet a few eventually reach the market. This is the case with the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable, which is what we’re examining today.

The best

The unusual concept that turns heads…
Neither too bulky, nor too heavy
The Lunar Lake SoC’s versatility remains appealing in 2026
Solid keyboard, decent webcam

The drawbacks

… but useful only to a small niche of users
Insufficient screen tilt angle; stability in stretched mode could be improved
Rudimentary I/O cover
Limited autonomy (6 to 9 hours depending on usage)

Read the conclusion

We will see whether the vertically unfolding OLED screen, and to a lesser extent its Intel Lunar Lake processor, make this model a daily useful ally, but first, here is the device specification Lenovo France loaned us for review:

Design: an enhanced prototype, but is it usable?

As expected, the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable looks like an improved prototype. This is often the “problem” with such unusual devices—unveiled as concepts at trade shows, then released to market after a quick refinement phase. Among competitors, the ASUS Zenbook 17 Fold OLED gave us the same impression in 2022: a peculiar product launched before being fully finalized.

With its ultra-portable form and a roll-out screen, Lenovo still manages to improve things somewhat. The first impression is surprising: you face a 14-inch ultraportable that is a touch heavier and thicker than typical “thin and light” models, yet not radically different at first glance. When fully closed, with the screen rolled up, the device measures 30.35 x 23.06 x 1.91 cm at its thickest point, weighing 1.69 kg. To give you a sense, that’s roughly the footprint of a gaming-oriented 14-inch model. So we’re not dealing with a completely incongruous size, which is a good thing.

As with many Lenovo products, the webcam is of decent quality. At 5 MP with integrated sensors, it can deliver respectable sharpness for video calls (1440p resolution) and supports facial recognition for easy sign‑in. The keyboard, too, is worthy of note for its typing experience, aligning with Lenovo’s other ultraportables.

The keyboard is simply excellent, with wide, soft keys that are well spaced. The Chinese manufacturer clearly knows what it is doing here, as this is confirmed once again. Bonus: the trackpad is haptic, much like Apple’s MacBook Air/Pro trackpads. Unfortunately, testing isn’t perfect: the clicks are loud, the glide surface is narrow, and precision isn’t up to par (double-clicks occur more than once by accident).

As with Lenovo, the webcam is of decent quality. With 5 MP and integrated sensors, it provides decent sharpness for videoconferencing (1440p) and enables quick authentication via facial recognition. The keyboard, likewise, is not worth lingering over, as it mirrors the experience offered by other Lenovo ultraportables in terms of typing feel.

This keyboard is simply excellent, with broad, softly padded keys and ample spacing. The Chinese manufacturer knows what it is doing, and this is confirmed once again… with a bonus: the trackpad here is haptic, like those on Apple’s MacBook Air/Pro. Unfortunately, the test isn’t perfectly translated into practice: the clicks are loud, the glide surface is somewhat narrow, and precision is lacking (many accidental double-clicks, for example).

The finish is overall fairly decent. The base of the chassis is aluminum alloy, as is the lid. The bezels around the screen (which are quite thick) are plastic—just like the elements of the dual hinge, which is quite complex as it houses the rack-and-roller system that enables extending and retracting the OLED display. We will come back to this mechanism.

We’ll quickly note the I/O: there are only three ports. Minimalist by design, the device sticks to two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports and a 3.5 mm jack. The thickness could likely have allowed more, but clearly Lenovo had to make internal trade-offs to free space for the rolling/unrolling concept to exist.

The finish is generally quite solid. The base and lid use aluminum alloy, and the screen surround (which is quite thick) is plastic, as are some elements of the complex dual hinge where the rack-and-roller mechanism is housed to extend and retract the OLED display. We’ll get back to this.

We’ll quickly skip the connectors: there are three ports. Minimalist by design, the device sticks to two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports and a 3.5 mm jack. The device’s thickness could have allowed for more, but Lenovo clearly had to balance internal space to accommodate the rolling/unrolling concept.

In terms of image quality, the webcam is pretty solid. The 5 MP sensor provides adequate sharpness for video calls, and facial recognition lets you sign in quickly. The keyboard, again, offers a typing experience consistent with Lenovo’s other ultraportables.

This keyboard is excellent, with generous, cushioned keys and generous spacing. The Chinese manufacturer clearly knows what it is doing here, a fact that is reinforced again… albeit with a bonus: the trackpad is haptic, similar to Apple’s MacBook trackpads. Unfortunately, the test isn’t perfect: the clicks are loud, the glide area is narrow, and precision isn’t up to par (double-clicks happen unintentionally).
