Roll-out displays have been the star of CES for the past few years, but they're usually found on extremely expensive TVs that are quickly discontinued. IN CES 2026however Lenovo demonstrates gaming laptop which uses a folding OLED display which can extend to ultra-wide aspect ratios.
While it's just a concept, the Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable is expected to include a “top-spec” Intel Core Ultra processor and an Intel Core Ultra processor. Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090. That super-powerful graphics chip is also essential given the extra pixels it needs to accommodate when the display is stretched in all its 24:9 glory.
However, keep in mind that since this is just a concept, don't expect it to hit store shelves anytime soon. So the specs will likely change if and when this foldable laptop ever hits the market. Unsurprisingly, Lenovo also hasn't revealed pricing for the foldable Legion Pro concept. But if it does come out, expect it to cost several thousand dollars.
Elastic laptop
Lenovo showed me this concept back in December in New York, and it's clearly in its early stages. For example, a Lenovo representative had to fiddle with the command line to get the display to even unfold. In the few short weeks between the first time I saw it and CES itself, Lenovo fixed that. The display now pops out with a simple key combination: simply press the Fn button and the right or left arrow keys to expand or contract the display respectively. Even for a concept, the movement was unusually smooth and will likely get even better if this laptop ever actually sees the light of day.
But due to the mechanism required for such a rollable display, the laptop is quite heavy. Again, this is a concept so Lenovo isn't revealing any exact specs, but this laptop should weigh around 8 or 10 pounds. This is something else that will likely be improved if this laptop comes out – a recurring theme.
By default, the laptop has a resolution of 2048 x 1280 with an aspect ratio of 16:10. It's an odd resolution, sure, but it's not exactly impressive by the standards of modern gaming laptops. However, this default screen configuration is not Really essence. The laptop's display can be rotated into two different sizes, resulting in either a 21:9 aspect ratio display with a 2986 x 1280 resolution, or a 3413 x 1280 aspect ratio display with a 24:9 aspect ratio.
Regardless, this means that the Legion Pro Rollable is an FHD laptop, but it just means that the RTX 5090 that's in this thing – for now – won't have any problems with high frame rates even in ultra-demanding games. After all, Lenovo calls these stretched display modes “Tactical Mode” and “Arena Mode” for 21:9 and 24:9 modes respectively, so it seems they want it to appeal to eSports gamers.
However, if this does come out, I wouldn't recommend it for eSports gamers. Instead, the ultra-wide display appeals more to gamers who enjoy more immersive and story-driven games. There's something special about jumping into an open world and taking over your entire field of vision. That's why ultra-wide displays are my favorite gaming monitors and now we can potentially install them on a gaming laptop.
Unfortunately, the laptop never had any games installed on it when I tried it, so I don't know how it actually handles games. I tried to rummage through the computer when no one was looking anything installed, but instead all I had to do was slide the display in and out again and again. It was fun, but I would have liked to see how the computer could handle the extra pixels that came with expanding the screen.
Unfortunately, I'll have to wait until Lenovo decides it's worth shipping to test it. In the meantime, I'm just wishing I could boot up The Witcher 3 with the display fully maximized to 24:9.
