Lenovo has all new laptops that extend and spin, and one of them is available to actually buy.
We’ve seen laptops that fold and laptops that roll, but what about a laptop that spins? Lenovo’s latest weird notebook design that’s soon to become an actual product you can buy is a new ThinkBook with a screen on a pivot. In a version of a beleaguered coder’s worst nightmare, the laptop’s screen can follow you no matter how far you try to scurry around your desk.
Previewed to Gizmodo for CES 2026, the $1,650 ThinkBook Plus Gen 7 Auto Twist uses a hinge that can rotate along a horizontal and vertical axis. Alongside face tracking with its webcam, the laptop can follow your movements when you’re pacing during a meeting or lounging back in your chair, watching Netflix and ignoring all the pings you’re getting on Slack. The Auto Twist should be available starting in June this year.
In person, the spinning mechanism is near-silent and somewhat eerie for how well it can track your body as you try to maneuver out of frame. The one issue with my demo stemmed from positioning two people in the frame at once.
