Linus Tech Tips’ Laptop Demo Failed Live On The Tonight Show 💻
Linus from Linus Tech Tips brings a futuristic Lenovo rollable laptop onto The Tonight Show in 2026, intending to wow Jimmy Fallon with a screen that expands from 16 inches to over 21 inches at the push of a button for ultra wide gaming or movie immersion. When he tries to trigger the expansion, nothing happens and the laptop refuses to perform in front of the studio audience and cameras. Jimmy immediately leans into the failure with playful innuendo about this happening to a lot of laptops and jokes about performance anxiety, turning an awkward malfunction into a running gag about not a shower, not a grower 🎬
The emotional core is that thin line between hype and humiliation when cutting edge tech is shown off live. Linus has to smile through a very public flop while the host protects the vibe with humor and empathy. The moment becomes a lesson in how fragile live demos are, especially with early stage prototypes tied to CES 2026 coverage. Manufacturers bring unfinished devices to big stages to generate buzz but that means a single glitch can undermine the whole narrative of the future is here 🚀

I want the expanding upwards one. Using old 4:3 ones because I love 4:3 on a laptop

When @linustech says that this is "laptop" rather than "notebook" - he probably should retire 🤣
