Lenovo brings side-rollable OLED

The computer company Lenovo is apparently preparing a new notebook that will be particularly interesting for gaming and film fans. The device’s display can be extended to the side thanks to rollable OLED panels.

Maybe performance at CES

After the company brought the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 onto the market for the first time last year, a market-ready notebook with a roll-out OLED display, everything now points to the next, much bolder step. Back then, Lenovo relied on a vertically expandable panel that freed up more space for text, lists or web pages at the touch of a button. Now the manufacturer is apparently planning to take the technology in a completely new direction – and thus target gamers in particular. Like the magazine Windows Latestwhich also has a leaked promo image, reports that Lenovo could present the Legion Pro Rollable at CES 2026 in a few weeks. The device would be the company’s first gaming notebook with a horizontally rollable OLED display. Instead of expanding upwards, the edges of the screen should push out of the case to the left and right, creating a particularly wide 21:9 aspect ratio. This would mean the device would offer a format that is close to traditional ultrawide monitors, but in a mobile device.

There is hardly any concrete technical data available so far. Neither resolution nor refresh rate were known, nor was there any information about the display size when retracted or extended. Lenovo is also still silent about the price and market launch. The only thing that seems certain is that an Intel Core Ultra processor should be working inside. The sparse information may seem unusual, but such a concept is essentially a perfect fit for the CES, where manufacturers regularly present spectacular prototypes.

It won’t be cheap

If the Legion Pro Rollable actually appears, it could offer practical added value for many users: a horizontally rollable panel would significantly alleviate the frequent desire for a larger external monitor. Provided that Lenovo delivers an image quality in the range of at least 1440p and relies on a fast refresh rate, the device should offer an exciting experience both on the go and at your desk at home, not only for gamers, but also for creative people and multitaskers. In terms of price, however, the notebook is likely to end up in the upper class. The ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 already cost around $3,500, and an even more complex mechanism with a wide roll OLED probably won’t be cheaper to produce.
