This Lenovo Rollable OLED Laptop Is Like Strapping an Ultrawide Gaming Monitor to a Gaming Laptop

For the past fewer years, rollable displays person been the prima of CES, but they're usually recovered successful highly costly – and rapidly discontinued – TVs. At CES 2026, though, Lenovo is showing disconnected a gaming laptop that uses a rollable OLED show that tin agelong to an ultrawide facet ratio.

While it's inactive conscionable a concept, the Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable is pitched to see a 'top-spec' Intel Core Ultra processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090. That super-powerful graphics spot is necessary, too, fixed the other pixels it needs to propulsion erstwhile the show is stretched retired successful each of its 24:9 glory.

Keep successful mind, though, that due to the fact that this is inactive a conscionable a concept, you shouldn't expect it to deed store shelves immoderate clip soon. As such, the specs are apt to alteration if and erstwhile this rollable laptop ever makes it to market. Lenovo unsurprisingly hasn't revealed immoderate benignant of pricing for the Legion Pro Rollable Concept, either. But if it does travel out, expect it to outgo a fewer 1000 bucks.

Stretchy Laptop

Lenovo showed maine the conception backmost successful December successful New York, and it's intelligibly successful aboriginal stages. For instance, the Lenovo rep had to messiness with the bid enactment to adjacent get the show to rotation itself out. In the abbreviated fewer weeks betwixt erstwhile I initially saw it and CES itself, Lenovo has fixed this. The show present extends retired with a elemental cardinal combination: conscionable property down the Fn fastener and the close oregon near arrow keys to widen oregon shrink the display, respectively. Even for a concept, the question was extraordinarily smooth, and volition apt get adjacent amended if this laptop ever really sees the airy of day.

But due to the fact that of the mechanics needed to person a rollable show similar this, the laptop is rather heavy. Again, it's a concept, truthful Lenovo isn't sharing immoderate hard specs, but this laptop has to measurement adjacent to 8 oregon 10 pounds. Thats thing other that'll apt beryllium improved if this laptop comes retired – a repeating theme.

The laptop by default has a solution of 2048 x 1280 astatine a 16:10 facet ratio. That's a weird resolution, for sure, but it's not precisely awesome by modern gaming laptop standards. However, that default surface configuration isn't really the point. The laptop's show tin rotation retired to 2 antithetic sizes, resulting successful either a 21:9 show with a solution of 2986 x 1280 oregon a 3413 x 1280 24:9 display.

No substance what, that means that the Legion Pro Rollable is simply a FHD laptop, but that conscionable means that the RTX 5090 this happening is packing – for present – won't person immoderate occupation driving precocious framerates, adjacent successful super-demanding games. After all, Lenovo is calling these stretched retired show modes "Tactical Mode" and "Arena Mode" for the 21:9 and 24:9 modes, respectively, truthful it seems it wants this to entreaty to esports gamers.

If this really comes out, I wouldn't urge it to immoderate esports gamers, though. Instead, the ultrawide show appeals overmuch much to gamers that similar much immersive and story-based games. There is conscionable thing astir jumping into an unfastened satellite and having it instrumentality up your full tract of view. That's wherefore ultrawide displays are my favourite gaming monitors, and present we tin perchance get that connected a gaming laptop.

Unfortunately, the laptop didn't person immoderate existent games installed connected it either clip I tried it, truthful I don't cognize however it handles really playing games. I did effort digging astir the PC erstwhile nary 1 was looking to find something installed, but alternatively each I got to bash was widen and retract the show implicit and implicit again. That was fun, but I would person loved to spot however the machine was capable to grip the other pixels introduced by extending the screen.

Unfortunately, I'll person to hold until Lenovo decides this is worthy releasing into the chaotic to really benchmark it. Until then, I'll conscionable imagination of booting up the Witcher 3 with the show extended each the mode retired to its 24:9 mode.
