Lenovo's Next Gaming Laptop May Have a Rollable OLED Screen That Stretches Ultrawide

Lenovo may be preparing to unveil a gaming laptop that uses rollable OLED technology to expand horizontally into an ultrawide 21:9 display, according to a Windows Latest report suggesting the device could appear at CES 2026 in January. The Lenovo Legion Pro Rollable would differ from the company's existing ThinkBook Plus Gen 6, which expands its screen vertically.

The new gaming-focused design would see the left and right edges of the display extend beyond the laptop's base chassis when unrolled. Specific details remain scarce. Windows Latest doesn't know the display resolution, refresh rate, screen dimensions in either state, pricing, or release timing -- though it does mention an Intel Core Ultra processor. The ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 currently sells for $3,500.

I want tall, not wide

Give me a rollout screen that doubles the height of my 13" display. Save my neck when i type in my lap.

Or even better, 3:4. I use a central 16:10 30" (2560:1600) plus two 3:4 24" (1200:1600) on the sides. An useless ratio 16:9 on the top sits mostly unused.

You may find the LG DualUp interesting. 16:18 ratio, 2560x2880. No bezel, designed to be mounted in portrait aspect.

They sell those already.

So Close!

This is extraordinarily close to my vision and hope in ~2010.

My vision used a smartphone for the CPU and a projected virtual keyboard. I realize now that the virtual keyboard was a stupid concept. But otherwise we are so close!

Lenovo Doesn't Know How to Cool a Notebook

Again and again, Lenovo gets spanked in reviews for it's cooling system. We are tired of throttled GPUs because we have to spend so much for them.

tight roll

[bugs2squash]

it would have to be a tight roll not to add too much thickness, or maybe it wraps around the outside of the case. I would have thought sliding panels would be thinner overall

Great news for e-waste lovers

[DrXym]

These foldable / rollable screens are so easy to destroy and so expensive and complex to replace that the entire device effectively becomes e-waste when it happens.

Re:

[RockDoctor]

Interesting, because I've never met either foldable or rollable "In Real Life" (or even, "On Reel Life"?), but came here to say "a rollable screen sounds mechanically more feasible than a foldable one", because with fairly modest engineering (sprung steel side rails, and maybe a midline support/ stiffener) you could considerably reduce and control the minimum radius of curvature, which I would expect (from having damaged all sorts of materials by rolling or folding them too tightly, or even creasing them) t

Wallpaper displays when?

[MikeS2k]

Does this mean we are closer to wallpaper displays as we saw in some 1950's / 1960's futurology? Call me when I can get roll up OLED film I can paste onto my wall
