Lenovo’s next gaming laptop may have a rollable OLED screen that stretches ultrawide
Lenovo has already demonstrated its ability to put rollable OLEDs into laptops by graduating last year from demo concept models to shipping the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6, an actual device you can buy. It has a built-in mechanism that expands the screen vertically to give you more screen real estate for typing and scrolling. However, the company might soon debut its first laptop that uses a rollable OLED to effectively transform its screen into an ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio screen, with left and right edges that extend far outside the bottom chassis.
The Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable will be its first gaming laptop to feature a rollable horizontal screen, according to Windows Latest, and we might see it as soon as CES 2026 in a few weeks. The publication doesn’t have many specs to share, like display resolution, refresh rate, or what components will power the machine (outside of an Intel Core Ultra processor). It also doesn’t know how big the display will be in its rolled or unrolled states, how much it’ll cost, or when exactly it’ll come out. The lack of detail may seem suspicious, but this seems like exactly the kind of thing that Lenovo would debut at CES.
My fingers are crossed that this is real because a rollable OLED that’s horizontal would address much of the need to plug your laptop into a bigger, better monitor. Assuming that it’s at least 1440p (or whatever Lenovo’s 21:10 WQXGA-ified version with more pixels would be) and has a reasonably fast refresh rate, this could be a really fun laptop to use, whether you’re on the go or at home. But it almost certainly won’t be cheaper than the $3,500 ThinkBook Plus Gen 6.
