Taiwan company Compal Electronics won an iF Design Award 2025 for its cool "Infinite Laptop" idea. This laptop does something amazing—the screen grows sideways from a regular 14-inch display into a super-wide 18-inch workspace. Lenovo recently showed off laptops that expand upward, but Compal decided people need more screen space from left to right. This design helps anyone who works with multiple programs at once or creates digital content.
The design seems to use fancy rollable OLED screen technology. The display pulls out from both edges of the base unit, keeping the middle part right above your keyboard where you expect it. Award papers mention the design tries to balance being easy to carry around with giving you plenty of screen space. The laptop might include LED lights built into the lid that show notifications, though we don't have many details about how everything works yet.
Compal builds computers for other famous brands instead of selling products with their name. They have created award-winning designs before that never became real products you could buy. We don't know if the Infinite Laptop will ever appear on store shelves or remain just a neat idea. Expandable screens represent the next big thing for laptop design, offering a different answer to the usual trade-offs between screen size and portability.
External monitors have helped people who need more screen space, but built-in expandable displays could eliminate the need for extra equipment. You would still have a computer you can easily carry around. Lenovo has already developed several interesting concepts, including the ThinkBook Flip AI PC with an outward folding OLED display and even a solar-powered laptop. Seeing fresh ideas for laptops makes tech fans happy, even when these designs exist only as concepts for the moment.
