Six months post the launch of the first rollable laptop globally, Lenovo has unveiled two novel concept PCs featuring expandable screens. At CES 2026, the tech titan presented the business-centric ThinkPad Rollable XD Concept and the gaming-focused Legion Pro Rollable Concept, following a barrage of leaks. Mashable was among the initial outlets to showcase Lenovo’s latest laptops in an exclusive showroom.

Like last year’s ThinkBook Plus Gen 6 Rollable AI, these two Windows laptops arise from Lenovo’s pursuit to explore OLED panels, celebrated for their thinness and flexibility. Although these are prototypes, both gadgets seem remarkably refined, even though Lenovo indicated they are fragile and necessitate more durability and stability evaluations.

Regardless of whether these concepts ever hit the market, they signify a triumph for Lenovo’s engineering team. They operate as designed and boast impressive aesthetics.

The ThinkPad Rollable XD from Lenovo showcases an expandable dual-sided screen. The display can grow from 13.3 to almost 16 inches high, enhancing its visual area by 50 percent within seconds. The front resembles the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6, but it adds another twist: its OLED display curls 180 degrees over the upper edge to form a second “world-facing” display on the rear.

Lenovo partnered with Corning to create a transparent glass cover to safeguard the OLED panel’s section that bends behind the primary display. This innovative design choice permits visibility of the fiber cables and motors that drive the “rolling” mechanism, now positioned in the lid rather than in the base.

The height of the ThinkPad Rollable XD’s display can be modified by pressing a button or swiping a finger along the lid’s edge, thanks to its touchscreen capabilities. It does not respond to voice commands or hand gestures like last year’s model; however, these functionalities might be included in a version ready for the market.

The second new concept laptop unveiled at CES, Lenovo’s Legion Pro Rollable, features a 240Hz OLED display that expands from both ends. It can extend from 16 inches in “Focus Mode” to 21.5 inches in “Tactical Mode,” and stretches to two feet in “Arena Mode,” effectively transforming into an external monitor. This setup might feel more intuitive than a dual-screen gaming laptop.

Some scuff marks were noticed on the screen of the Legion Pro Rollable when it expanded, likely resulting from an internal mechanism, but they were superficial and easily removed. There was slight creasing where the OLED panel retracted into its housing. Lenovo claims it is currently rated for 25,000 roll cycles.

The Legion Pro Rollable will be set up like Lenovo’s Legion Pro 7i, a high-end 16-inch laptop aimed at competitive gamers, featuring top-tier Intel Core processors, a Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPU, and a variety of ports.

In terms of aesthetics, it boasts RGB accent lighting alongside an RGB keyboard, a illuminated “Legion” logo on its lid, and dynamic rainbow LED strips along its rear fan vents.

Nonetheless, the weight and heat production of the laptop are noteworthy drawbacks. It released hot air during the demonstration, even with no game underway.

While it is uncertain if either prototype will make it to market, the launch of the original Lenovo rollable laptop two years following its conceptual introduction indicates a possibility for future availability. Taking into account the ThinkBook Plus Gen 6’s retail price of $3,499.99, prospective buyers might consider starting to save.
