Prepare for ultra-wide screen gaming on laptops, as Lenovo is now confirmed to debut a Legion Pro rollable gaming laptop as early as 2026 — and yes, it's OLED.
As revealed by Windows Latest, Lenovo is set to release a Legion Pro Rollable gaming laptop with a flexible OLED panel that expands to a 21:9 aspect ratio. It's expected to come equipped with an Intel Panther Lake CPU and an Nvidia RTX 50-series GPU, and we could see it as soon as CES 2026.
Lenovo is no stranger to rollable laptops, introducing the first rollable laptop at CES 2025. With the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable, the laptop’s display rolls vertically, extending its 120Hz OLED panel from 14 to 16.7 inches. With the Legion Pro Rollable, however, this would extend vertically instead.
A rollable device uses a flexible display that allows the screen to be extended or retracted by rolling it in and out of a housing, usually through a motorized mechanism. The Lenovo Legion Pro "Rollable" is expected to act in the same way, but there are currently no details on the size of the expandable display.
As with the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable, the laptop is rumored to come with at least a 120Hz refresh rate, with a possible 14-inch screen size that rolls out to a 16-inch ultra-wide display. To put that into perspective, the ThinkBook features a 14-inch display at standard with a 2000 x 1600 resolution and a 5:4 aspect ratio. In extended mode, the screen is 16.7 inches with a 2000 x 2350 resolution with an 8:9 aspect ratio.
Otherwise, its design is similar to other laptops in the Legion lineup, such as the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i. Since the Legion Pro "Rollable" also features a number pad, we could see the same 16-inch (2560 x 1600) OLED panel as the Legion Pro 7i.
Is rollable the future?
Lenovo has a solid track record of releasing out-of-the-box laptop concepts, including the 18-inch ThinkBook Flip foldable OLED laptop and its solar-powered laptop. However, we're now seeing a continuation of its now-released rollable concept, and this time it's all for gaming.
Gaining a portable ultra-wide 21:9 aspect ratio on a gaming laptop is exciting, considering that this is usually reserved for the best gaming monitors. We'll have to go hands-on with the laptop to see how it works, but considering the Legion Pro series delivers some of the best gaming laptops, this rollable version is already looking enticing.
Of course, pricing is still up in the air, and it's not looking to come cheap, considering the ThinkBook Rollable costs over $3,000. That's not even mentioning the rising prices of laptops, thanks to the RAM crisis. If rollable gaming laptops take off, I expect these devices to cost a premium.
Since the first Intel Panther Lake laptops are set to be unveiled during CES 2026, it's likely we'll see the latest Intel Core Ultra 3 series chip set inside the Legion Pro "Rollable." According to leaked benchmarks, this will make for one powerful machine.
The new rollable gaming laptop is tipped to launch in early 2026, according to the report, meaning it's possible we'll see it debut during CES 2026. We'll be on the ground to check it out if it does appear.
