I tried Lenovo’s new rollable laptop at CES, and its the Windows PC I’d be splurge for
Kyle Kucharski/ZDNETLenovo unveiled an unexpected new laptop alongside its fleet of new devices at CES 2025: a 14-inch laptop with a “rollable” display that extends upwards over 16 inches, and it works better than I initially assumed.
