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.
