Lenovo is known for experimenting with screens that bend and grow. New renders have surfaced online showing a rollable laptop codenamed Project Swan, and this one expands horizontally instead of the usual up-and-down stretch.
Windows Latest shared the images yesterday, and the palm rest gives away that the device is part of Lenovo’s ThinkBook series. That tracks with how Lenovo has positioned its past rollable machines, including the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6, which launched last year with a similar office-first pitch.
Closed up, Project Swan looks like a normal laptop. You get a centered webcam at the top of the display and two USB-C ports on the left edge. The images don’t show the right side, so ports on that side remain a mystery for now. Flip it around, and you’ll spot a two-tone rear panel with cutouts on both sides.
According to a report, Project Swan uses guide rails to tuck away extra screen when you don’t need it. Once you want more room, motors pull the hidden section of the flexible OLED panel out from both sides at once. To make space for those rails, the hinge sits shorter and more centered than what you’d find on a regular ThinkBook.
There’s a software detail worth noting too. The renders don’t show a Copilot key anywhere on the deck, but the taskbar does show the Recall icon active near the system tray.
Lenovo also showed a ThinkBook Modular AI PC concept and shipped the ThinkBook Plus Gen 7 Auto Twist with its motorized hinge this year. Project Swan still looks like early-stage hardware, so don’t expect pricing or a release date just yet. Given how quickly Lenovo’s other rollable concepts have gone from leak to stage demo, though, an official reveal may not be far off.
