"But then the company went a bit crazy: Instead of replacing the notebook's original 16-inch OLED screen with a rollable variant that extends upwards like the Thinkbook Plus Gen 6 from 2025, Lenovo opted for one that expands outwards to either 21.5 inches or 23.8 inches This means instead of being restricted to a standard 16:10 aspect ratio, you also have the choice of 21:9 or an ultra-wide 24:9 with just the touch of a button."
"But this is a concept device after all, which was immediately obvious when I got a chance to see this up close. The bottom of the laptop feels solid, as you'd probably expect because not much has changed there. However, the top of the laptop didn't feel super sturdy, probably due to the display's hinge not being able to fully support a heavier lid and the notebook's bulkier rollable display."
Lenovo built the Legion Pro Rollable by starting with a standard Legion Pro 7i and retaining the bottom half with ports and support for an RTX 5090 GPU. The laptop features a 16-inch flexible OLED that expands outward to either 21.5 inches or 23.8 inches, enabling 16:10, 21:9, or ultra-wide 24:9 aspect ratios. Display expansion is controlled via FN plus an arrow key. The prototype’s lid felt less sturdy due to hinge limitations and the heavier rollable panel. Internal motors left faint lines and the panel showed some waviness, though panel gaps were reasonably minimized.
