Lenovo's Upcoming Gaming Laptop Could Feature a Transformative Rollable OLED Screen

Though details remain sparse, it's anticipated this could be revealed by Lenovo during their CES announcements.

Lenovo's Innovation in Display Technology

Lenovo has already showcased its expertise in integrating rollable OLED technology into laptops. Last year, they moved from showcasing concept models to releasing the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6, a product consumers can actually purchase. This model features a vertically expanding screen, offering users extra screen space for activities like typing and scrolling.

Building on this foundation, Lenovo is rumored to soon unveil its first laptop equipped with a rollable OLED designed to morph its display into an ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio, with the edges expanding significantly beyond its base frame.

Anticipation for the Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable

Expected to be named the Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable, this would mark the company's inaugural gaming laptop boasting a horizontally rollable display. There's speculation that this device might be unveiled as soon as CES 2026.

Specific details such as screen resolution, refresh rate, and additional hardware specifications are yet to be disclosed. The publication providing the rumors mentions it will include an Intel Core Ultra processor but doesn't provide dimensions for the display when either expanded or compacted, nor its anticipated price or release date.

Potential Impacts and Expectations

The concept of a rollable OLED screen expanding horizontally could significantly reduce the necessity for connecting laptops to external monitors for enhanced visibility. Provided the resolution is at least 1440p, or perhaps a modified higher-pixel version Lenovo might offer, coupled with a commendable refresh rate, this laptop could serve as an exciting tool for both home and mobile usage.

Although it is anticipated that this new rollable OLED model won't be priced lower than the $3,500 ThinkBook Plus Gen 6, expectations are high that it will deliver an impressive performance and innovative features.
