I don't think there is significant amount of people willing to pay 3000USD+ for an inferior LCD experience. OLED "problems" are way overblown. The folding mechanism will most probably break much faster than any burn-in becomes apparent and LCDs also break or lose quality with time.
There are also plenty of OLED with DC dimming for those who claim superhuman abilities at detecting PWM.

It's time to put the horrible LCD technology to its deathbed.

Kudos to Lenovo for actually innovating and putting out something different. I love it! However, when I look at the laptop, all I see are more things to break or fail. So a niche product for a niche consumer.

But at least their innovating!

I still remember LG showcased the Rollable concept smartphone in 2021. Deep down, LG knew what they were on about with it. Compared to a foldable screen, a rollable mechanism can give infinite possibilities. Think about it - you can combine both 8:9 mode and 9:16 mode in a rollable screen. You can't do that with foldable screens.

Having said that, I wonder if it's possible to create a rollable screen with an IPS LCD panel. I still don't like the idea of OLED panels because of screen burn-in and PWM dimming. It's one of the reasons I always carry my IPS LCD portable monitor, as I can turn off my laptop's OLED screen and work using the latter.

Sorry to disappoint you, it won't happen. OLED requires a noticeable amount of power to produce the correct colour reproduction. As for the rollable screen itself, I still maintain it's the right path to pursue, especially since it can adapt to any screen size or aspect ratio you want. I don't doubt the era of the 4:3 laptop screen will make a comeback, thanks to the rollable screen.

Well, normally this kind of fancy new product are just a flash in the pan. It's unlikely that there will be a Gen II or Gen III because they're too eye-catching for normal, day-to-day use. You won't want every colleague on your floor dropping by to say, "Wow, that's a fancy laptop you've got!"

Seriously, I would much rather have an OLED that won't get burn-in than a rollable feature.

Lenovo has had some interesting laptop designs including ones with E-Ink, folding tablets, and dual-boot detachables with both x86 and ARM processors. The ThinkBook Plus Rollable, however, definitely takes the cake for being the most useful and practical thus far.
