Lenovo used CES 2026 to double down on rollable OLED screens, showing two prototype laptops whose displays grow at the press of a key while confirming a June launch for its motorized Auto Twist convertible.
Roll Horizontally: Legion Pro Rollable Concept
The 16-inch Legion Pro Rollable Concept is built on a Legion Pro 7i chassis and hides a flexible OLED that two internal motors unfurl sideways, stretching the panel to 21.5 inches in “Tactical” mode or a full 24 inches in “Arena” mode. The expanded width tops the laptop housing, creating an ultrawide aspect ratio aimed at gamers who want portable screen real estate without carrying an external monitor.
- Graphics: targets RTX 5090-class GPU
- Processors: latest Intel chips
- Trigger: single keystroke
Roll Vertically: ThinkPad Rollable XD Concept
A 13.3-inch OLED rises to 16 inches, but unlike last year’s ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable, the extra segment wraps over the lid to form a second, outward-facing display. Lenovo has not detailed software uses for the lid screen; demo units showed only placeholder widgets, and the webcam migrates to the side, mirroring an iPad layout.
| Laptop | Base Size | Expanded Size | Direction | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Legion Pro Rollable | 16″ | 24″ | horizontal | concept |
| ThinkPad Rollable XD | 13.3″ | 16″ | vertical + lid | concept |
| ThinkBook Plus Gen 7 Auto Twist | 14″ | 14″ | rotating hinge | $1,649, June |
Production-Bound Hardware
Lenovo also announced commercial models slated for release:
- Yoga Slim 7i Ultra: 2.2 lb premium ultralight
- ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 & X1 2-in-1: user-replaceable batteries, Space Frame dual-sided motherboards for smaller boards and better cooling; start at $1,999, ship March
- Yoga AIO Aura Edition 32: 32-inch all-in-one with translucent leaning bezel, $2,400, Q2 2026
- ThinkCentre X AIO: near-square 16:18 aspect-ratio screen, price and date unannounced
Key Takeaways
- Lenovo’s rollable OLED prototypes push laptop screens to 24 inches without external monitors
- Auto Twist convertible will reach buyers in June at $1,649
- User-repairable batteries come to flagship ThinkPads this March
- All-in-one desktops get fresh designs with unusual aspect ratios and see-through stands
CES spectators have seen Lenovo turn prior concepts into store shelves, so the rollable era may arrive sooner than skeptics expect.
