Lenovo's Project Swan: A Laptop That Stretches
3 Sep
Summary
- Lenovo's latest proof-of-concept laptop expands horizontally.
- This rollable ThinkPad scales to a 17-inch display from 14 inches.
- The 'Project Swan' aims for practicality over novelty in its design.
Lenovo has introduced 'Project Swan,' a proof-of-concept rollable laptop that showcases a more practical approach to extendable displays. This innovative notebook starts as a standard 14-inch device and can expand horizontally to a 17-inch screen with a simple button press.
The design features a 16:9 aspect ratio display that retracts and extends using side flaps. While a crease is present when fully extended, Lenovo's approach aims for a sleeker integration than earlier rollable concepts.
This horizontally expanding screen offers enough space for dual-window multitasking, mimicking an external monitor. The company suggests this design is more subtle and marketable compared to its previous vertical rollable laptops.
Internally, the 'Project Swan' is equipped with Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors. Although it remains a proof-of-concept and may not reach mass production, Lenovo has a history of bringing experimental devices to market.
