They create the first laptop with a screen, what grows?

It was no secret that sooner or later we would see a laptop with an extendable screen. The system we are talking about this time is one of the Lenovo brand, specifically it would be a computer within the ThinkBook range that would stand out for this characteristic. What do we know about this computer?

One of the problems with laptops when working with them is that if their screen is too small, less than 15 inches, then the number of elements that we can see on the screen is less. Let’s not forget that you get to the point where the density of pixels or color points is so high that many of them cannot be seen. The solution in many cases? Buy a portable screen to connect to an external HDMI port or a USB-C Alt-DP and carry it with us. However, Lenovo’s solution looks to be quite interesting.

This is the laptop with an extendable screen from Lenovo

It is a very compact and small model, which already tells us that we are not, due to its dimensions, in a high-end system and that it will have a rather modest memory and processor configuration. The safest thing with a processor with an official 15 W TDP and LPDDR5 memory, but we do not know the brand and model at the moment. For not knowing, it is not known how much it will weigh or the type of battery.

What is known is its screen, which will have a button that will allow it to stretch and shrink as necessary, this process takes about 20 seconds and the ability to do it up to 30,000 times since we took it out of the box . Of course, what we are interested in is knowing the characteristics of said screen and not only its particular nature.

  • Well, it is an extendable screen developed by the Japanese Sharp, which when in normal mode, its resolution is 2024 x 1604 pixels, which means that its aspect ratio is 4:3 and with its diagonal 12.7 inches gives us a definition of 203 pixels per inch, not reaching the maximum quality, but above many screens on the market.
  • If we are already talking about the extended mode, then the resolution varies to 2024 x 2368 pixels, which makes its aspect ratio go to 8:9 and the diagonal of the screen becomes 15.3 inches, but turned 90º with respect to a conventional. On this, Lenovo points out that it is like having two 16:9 screens one on top of the other. Unfortunately, with less vertical resolution than in normal mode.

Does the use of these screens have a future?

It is very clear that the fact that it is an isolated model indicates that Lenovo wants to test it to see how the technology will work in the market. The fact that it is going to be used in a specific model makes us think that it will not be exactly cheap, although its success will depend on whether the end user will end up appreciating this novelty, subtly and unintentionally incorporating it into their daily work. We will see if it becomes the start of a trend in the market or if it remains a simple curiosity.
