Ever thought you needed a laptop with a taller display? Lenovo at CES 2025 showed off what can be considered the first commercially available rollable laptop. The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable joins a line of experimental laptops from Lenovo. Unrolled, it inconspicuously looks like your typical 14-inch laptop. But with a button press, the Samsung Display flexible OLED unfurls into a 16.7-inch vertical screen.

The laptop is meant to give you that extra-screen real estate without the bulk associated with dual-screen laptops. The Lenovo ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable is rated for at least 30,000 lid hinge cycles and 20,000 roll cycles (up and down).

Lenovo's ThinkCentre Neo Ultra was hailed as the best Apple Mac Studio alternative when it launched in January 2024. Now, the company has unveiled a more affordable, graphics-centric version exclusively for the Chinese market: the Yoga Portal.

While the ThinkCentre Neo Ultra boasts a top-tier Core i9-14900 processor and RTX graphics, the Yoga Portal opts for a slightly less powerful Core i7-14700 CPU but packs a punch with a full desktop GeForce RTX 4070 GPU. This strategic shift positions the Yoga Portal as a compelling choice for users prioritizing graphics performance, such as content creators and gamers.

Researchers have found security flaws in several fingerprint sensors used in laptops that work with the Windows Hello authentication feature. These flaws can allow bad actors to bypass fingerprint authentication easily and take control of the devices.

The researchers from Blackwing Intelligence tested laptops from Dell, Lenovo, and Microsoft, which use fingerprint sensors from companies like Goodix, Synaptics, and ELAN. They revealed various attacks that can affect these laptops, such as man-in-the-middle and evil maid attacks, at Microsoft’s BlueHat conference in October.

This Motorola concept phone can wrap around your wrist

Lenovo

What if your smartphone can just wrap around your wrist? Motorola's newest concept smartphone hinges on this idea, even if it technically doesn't have the hinge that foldable phones need now. Motorola's Mobility division showed off at Lenovo Tech World 2023 its "Adaptive Display Concept." Its flexible screen screen can bend at different points allowing you to wrap it around your wrist. 

This concept sports a Full HD Plus resolution pOLED screen. You can bend it in half to transform that 6.9-inch display into a 4.6-inch compact one. So, you can stand it upright as foldables do or wrap it around your wrist to carry it. Lenovo and Motorola aren't strangers to weird phone concepts. We saw the Rizr rollable phone earlier this year. And with concepts like this, there is no guarantee they'll come to market. It is interesting to see what companies are thinking about the future of smartphones.
