Recent leaks have brought to light that Lenovo is in the process of developing a ThinkBook laptop that incorporates rollable screen technology, internally referred to as 'Project Swan.' This innovative laptop boasts a flexible OLED panel, enabling the screen to extend horizontally from both the left and right edges of the device's frame. The seamless expansion and retraction of the concealed screen area are facilitated by an electric rail mechanism, thereby substantially increasing the available workspace. When not in use, its outward appearance closely resembles that of a standard ThinkBook, complete with a centrally located camera at the top of the display and two USB-C ports situated on the left side. The back of the laptop's chassis showcases a two-tone spliced design (Note: While 'splicing' can be translated as 'spliced' or 'combined' depending on the context, 'spliced' is used here for clarity, though 'pijie' in pinyin could be retained in HTML if precision is required), featuring openings on either side to house the rolled-up flexible panel. The hinge has been shortened and centered to accommodate the extension of the rails on both sides.
Lenovo has already introduced the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable, a vertically extending rollable-screen laptop that has reached mass production. In contrast, Project Swan adopts a horizontal extension approach, likely offering a more substantial increase in screen real estate. At present, key details such as the precise screen dimensions and processor specifications of Project Swan remain under wraps, and Lenovo has yet to confirm whether this product will proceed to mass production.
