Windows Latest has exclusively learned that Lenovo is developing a Legion-branded rollable laptop, and this time the screen expands horizontally to create what could be a portable ultrawide gaming laptop, and is slated to launch sometime early next year, probably at CES 2026.
This would be Lenovo’s second rollable laptop, following the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable, a machine that already got the tag of the “World’s First Rollable PC” when it was announced in January at CES. ThinkPook rollable came with a 14-inch OLED panel that unfurled upward into a vertical 16.7-inch format that works well for productivity tasks like coding and long Excel sheets.
However, the upcoming Legion Pro rollable will have a horizontally expanding screen, from both the left and right, that will go from a traditional 16:9 aspect ratio to an ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio, perfect for gaming, which is the hallmark of the Legion series.
Windows Latest has got an exclusive early look at Lenovo’s rollable gaming PC, courtesy of leaked promotional material, along with some inside scoop about the processor powering the device.
What we know about the Lenovo Legion Rollable gaming laptop
Lenovo’s upcoming rollable gaming laptop is officially part of the Legion family, which immediately tells us two things. It is being built for high-performance workloads, and it is not meant to be a quirky productivity experiment like the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6. This machine targets gamers who want a portable system that can transform into an ultrawide OLED panel when needed.

From the leaked promotional material Windows Latest obtained, the Legion Rollable uses a horizontal rollable display that expands outward from both sides of the panel. When fully unrolled, the display reaches an ultrawide 21:9 aspect ratio.
We also got a confirmation that the laptop will ship with an Intel Core Ultra processor, which is typical of Lenovo’s trend across Legion notebooks and aligns with Intel’s push toward AI-accelerated gaming and hybrid workloads. We don’t know if there’s an AMD variant.
And of course, no point in guessing the OS, which will be Windows 11. You can expect some AI shenanigans as well, courtesy of Lenovo’s own software stack. For example, there’s a Copilot key.
Beyond these confirmed details, we are pretty much unaware of the specifications. We do not know the exact display size; it may be a 14” to a 16” expansion or something else. We don’t know yet. The refresh rate will be at least 120 Hz, since even the business-focused ThinkBook Rollable comes with it.
That said, some expectations are reasonable, and here is where we move into educated speculation based on Legion’s existing lineup.
A Legion gaming laptop almost always includes a discrete GPU, and Lenovo traditionally prefers NVIDIA for its flagship models. This rollable will likely come with an NVIDIA RTX GPU. RAM might be the higher-end variant with up to 32 GB.
What is known for certain is that since this will be Lenovo’s second rollable laptop, after the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable, it builds on those foundations but aims at a completely different audience, like competitive gamers, content creators, and enthusiasts who want a portable ultrawide without sacrificing the traditional form factor.
This is the first rollable laptop for gaming, and it is meant to signal where Lenovo believes gaming laptops could go next. We expect Lenovo to announce this at the beginning of 2026.
ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 rollable was Lenovo’s first crazy experiment
Earlier this year, Lenovo had already proven that a rollable laptop is something they can actually ship. Yes, the device is available for purchase from Lenovo’s official website at an eye-watering price of $3,299.
Naturally, all this ambition came with trade-offs. Reviewers pointed out the thicker chassis, a noticeable roll crease at certain angles, the rated limit of around 20,000 roll cycles, and the reality that you’re paying $3300 for generation-one tech. Still, the laptop dominated CES coverage and trended everywhere from tech outlets to late-night TV segments.
But the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable is not a consumer laptop. It is a business-class device. Its entire design language mirrors the ThinkBook and ThinkPad family, built for productivity and enterprise users only.
The Legion Rollable is for the specific niche of gamers who want an ultrawide display on a portable laptop.
Lenovo already did the hard part once
Lenovo has already solved the most difficult engineering problems that come with building a rollable laptop. The ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable shipped with a motorized spindle system, a flexible POLED panel, a tension frame that keeps the screen flat when extended, and firmware that can stop the mechanism instantly if the lid is closed or something blocks the motion. These are production-ready components that Lenovo has already validated in the real world.
Translating that work to the Legion gaming laptop’s horizontal display is different but right up Lenovo’s alley, considering that they have been at work with rollables for over three years.
The Legion Pro Rollable will have a flexible panel where excess screen area is stored rolled up and hidden inside the left and right edges of the display chassis. To convert from a 16:9 to a 21:9 aspect ratio, motors activate a roller mechanism, driving expanding rails outward. As the physical frame widens, it pulls the hidden, rolled portions of the flexible screen out from their housing, unfurling them flat across the newly extended support structure to seamlessly create a wider, continuous display surface.
However, the image clearly shows the presence of prominent bezels to avoid damage to the left and right edges of the display.
We also expect the same durability targets (including the 20,000-cycle claim from the ThinkBook) to carry over.
A Legion chassis also gives Lenovo more room to play with. Gaming laptops are thicker by nature, and that extra internal volume makes it easier to house a wider roller mechanism on the lid itself, without making it feel unusually bulky.
If ThinkBook costs $3,300, what will a Legion rollable cost?
As mentioned, we don’t know the specs or pricing beyond the fact that it’s a 21:9 aspect ratio display when unrolled and it uses an Intel Ultra Core CPU. We’ll have the details later.
However, the Legion rollable will almost certainly be more expensive than the traditional Legion models. The bill of materials climbs fast when you add a discrete GPU, better cooling, a thicker chassis, and, not to mention, the rollable dual expansion POLED panel.
Which brings us to an inevitable comparison. For the price of one rollable Legion laptop, buyers could assemble a full desktop with a real ultrawide monitor, or even pair that desktop with a current-gen console and still spend less. This creates a tension Lenovo will have to address.
However, the idea of a rollable ultrawide gaming laptop is incredible. The price tag might keep it in the same category as the first ThinkBook rollable, a spectacular engineering showcase that only a tiny fraction of people will ever buy.
