At CES 2026, Lenovo is turning heads with its innovative concept: a gaming laptop featuring a rollable OLED display. This display can extend to an ultrawide aspect ratio, marking a significant leap from the rollable screens typically seen in high-end, short-lived TVs of previous years.
The Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable is equipped with ambitious specs for a concept device. It’s expected to include a top-tier Intel Core Ultra processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090, necessary for driving the extra pixels when the screen is fully expanded to a 24:9 ratio.
As exciting as this concept is, don’t expect it on shelves soon. The specifications could evolve before any potential release, and its price point is predicted to be in the thousands, reflecting its cutting-edge technology.
Stretchy Laptop
During a December preview in New York, it was evident that the Legion Pro Rollable is in its early stages. Initial display roll-out required command line tweaks, but improvements at CES showed that a simple Fn button and arrow key combination now handles expansion smoothly. Despite being a concept, the fluidity of the display movement is impressive, and it’s expected to refine further as development progresses.
The laptop’s weight is another aspect likely to see improvement. Currently, it feels hefty, tipping the scales at an estimated 8 to 10 pounds. As this concept nears a potential release, efforts to reduce this weight will likely be a priority.
Initially, the screen offers a 2048 x 1280 resolution at a 16:10 aspect ratio. However, the real magic happens when it rolls out to either a 21:9 size with a 2986 x 1280 resolution or a 24:9 size with a 3413 x 1280 resolution. This flexibility means the Legion Pro Rollable can deliver a FHD experience with the power of the RTX 5090, ensuring high frame rates in demanding games. Lenovo has branded these modes as “Tactical Mode” and “Arena Mode,” targeting esports enthusiasts. Nevertheless, the immersive ultrawide display is more likely to attract fans of story-rich games that benefit from a broader field of view.
While the laptop was not preloaded with actual games for testing, the potential for an immersive gaming experience is tantalizing. The prospect of playing expansive open-world games with such a display is particularly exciting for gaming enthusiasts. Adding to the allure is the dream of gaming classics like The Witcher 3 in full 24:9 mode, a vision that remains untested until Lenovo decides to bring this concept to market.
