Notebook gaming just got a cinematic twist. Lenovo’s new rollable concept lets players stretch their display mid-match without carrying an external monitor.
How the Rollable Screen Works
The Legion Pro Rollable starts as a 16-inch laptop. Two internal motors pull the PureSight OLED panel sideways, locking at 21.5″ or the full 24″ width.
Low-friction materials line the slide rails to prevent scratches during hundreds of roll cycles. The mechanism borrows from Lenovo’s earlier ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable and ThinkPad Rollable XD, but moves outward rather than upward.
Built for Esports on the Road
Lenovo is pitching the concept to esports pros who need tournament-size screens while traveling. The extra peripheral vision could give an edge in first-person shooters and extraction titles like ARC Raiders.
Internal specs mirror the Legion Pro 7i:
- Intel Core Ultra CPUs
- Nvidia GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs
- Dual-motor tension chassis
Consumer specs are still undecided.
CES 2026 Gaming Lineup
Lenovo also revealed:
- Legion Go handheld gaming PC
- Legion 7a versatile laptop
- Updated Legion 5 and Legion LOQ series
Key Takeaways
- First gaming laptop with horizontally expandable OLED
- Three screen modes: 16″, 21.5″, 24″
- Targets esports travelers but appeals to any enthusiast wanting bigger portables
A production date hasn’t been announced, yet the concept shows Lenovo is willing to bend-then roll-the rules of portable gaming.
